He was born in the flames of war and grew up in migration, but as tough as weeds. Returning home is his eternal hope, and everything in life will eventually be released.

Recommendation: The film is the directorial debut of the powerful actor Qin Hailu. It is the second part of the "Homecoming Trilogy" created by Qin Hailu following the screenwriter and starring "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang".

As stated in the film, life will inadvertently slip into the "two points and one line", like a lifetime "like sleeping in a coffin", so that "any choice will make no difference."

Recommended by

: In order to be able to show the real changes of the landscape and vegetation along the Fuchun River over time, director Gu Xiaogang chose to create this film in the way of shooting in real seasons. The preparatory work was completed after two years of concentrated shooting. An actor accidentally got involved in the whirlpool, and only swam out after 20 seconds, almost in danger of life.

Douban Rating: 7.8

Super English flips over the old house, Shuhe came to help cooking, but unfortunately on the way to buy food The driver was knocked into a coma and the driver escaped. Chaoying is in a contradiction: if you call the police, you can’t get reimbursement by medical insurance. If you can’t find the murderer, you will have to bear a lot of medical expenses; if you don’t call the police, the murderer will get away with it, which is too useless. In a dilemma, he made an absurd decision: solve the case first, then call the police.

recommendation: The film gets rid of the high-end taste of intellectuals and shifts the focus to the typical public perspective of the countryside. The first part is humorous and brisk, while the latter brings out the theme and brings more reflections on social hot issues. The film also boldly uses non-professional actors, which not only restores the authenticity of country life, but also "misplays and bumps" on the rhythm of humor.

It is worth mentioning that this film won the "Best Film Text" award at the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival. Its smart and interesting plot will surely make your eyes shine.

Recommended by

: There is no familiar face in the film as a role, without a lot of capital and technical investment, but it is nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for the best small and medium cost feature film. It is not unreasonable. The film takes the school district room as the starting point, and then tears apart the sensitive issues in the social hot spots, which can arouse the emotional resonance of the audience.

In addition, the film is also mixed with torture of the good and evil of human nature. In the helpless situation, whether to stick to the principle or compromise with life is an interesting topic.
