This type of work. This number reflects the significant growth in the number of delivery workers in recent years with the rapid development of the food delivery industry.

"Another Day Full of Hope" was scheduled to be released on the same day. What are the two films? Similarities and Differences?
It is reported that the protagonists of "Another Day Full of Hope" and "Retrograde Life" are similar: the male protagonist of "Retrograde Life" is Gao Zhilei, played by Xu Zheng. He was originally a middle-level worker in a large factory. After being laid off accidentally , to make a living as a delivery boy. The protagonist of "Another Day Full of Hope" is also a man facing a "mid-life crisis", Wei Li (played by Song Ningfeng). Wei Li works as an executive on a food delivery platform, but his life is a mess: there is a man at home who is about to take the high school entrance examination. A bad student who is obsessed with games, he himself has encountered multiple pressures such as layoffs and unemployment - Wei Li's company laid off the department where Wei Li worked in the name of "optimization".
"It rained all night when the house leaked." One day, Wei Li accidentally drove down Chen Jinpeng, a delivery boy from his company who was in a hurry to deliver goods. At that time, Chen Jinpeng, a delivery boy, was on the way to deliver orders in a race against the algorithm. . For a time, the two families were in crisis. The family member of the deliveryman, Xu Xiaoxia (played by Guo Keyu), came to intervene, and his wife Shen Junyi (played by Zhang Xinyi) was also helplessly involved. The depression of the first 30 minutes was suddenly ignited by this quarrel and broke out. In this pursuit of distinguishing who is right and wrong in a car accident, the protagonist needs to face the double torture of law and human nature. Through this seemingly ordinary accident, Wei Li discovers that there is a hidden secret behind it in the pursuit of right and wrong. I gradually began to doubt my unshakable value, and the truth hidden in the torrent of algorithms gradually revealed its ferocity...
Previously, the film "Another Day Full of Hope" has been screened in Poland, India, Argentina, Cannes, France, and In China, the Shanghai Film Festival and the Jiangnan Branch of the China Film Archive in Suzhou conducted advance screenings, which aroused a certain response. After watching the movie, the famous film critic Shadan commented that the characters in the movie were "flesh and blood" and believed that this was a movie with "a lot of room for discussion" and hoped that movie fans would pay more attention to it. Film critic Fujii Shu believed that the film presented a "realistic quality that is implemented on the ground". Film critic Zhan Taifeng believes that the film "brings out the very distinctive features of the entire society, from which everyone can see their own real life" and is a "sincere work" that cannot be missed. There were more friends at the scene who expressed their love for the film to the creators and looked forward to seeing the film with domestic audiences as soon as possible.
Many viewers said that although the title of the film is "Another Hopeful Day", the process of watching the film resonated deeply with the character's sense of powerlessness in difficult situations. As the person who makes the rules, the protagonist Wei Li cannot escape calculation; as the person who enforces the rules, the delivery boy can only be pushed forward by the algorithm in order to survive. In addition to the accident, many viewers also saw more plights of ordinary people: "The filming was too real and very life-like, especially the female characters were portrayed so well that they were all 'heartbroken' through the screen. . In this era, everyone cannot stay away, especially the family members of the delivery workers, who are worried about their family’s tomorrow every day... At this moment, the meaning and value of the movie are most profoundly demonstrated in the hearts of the audience.
In the final poster of the film, the main colors of red, black and yellow give people a strong impact and also highlight the realism theme of the film. The dense numbers correspond to the current algorithmic era filled with data, located in the center The blood-stained broken helmet directly brings out the core of the story - a deliveryman who was trapped in the algorithm and was seriously injured in an accident. Who should bear the responsibility? "The algorithm is retrograde, who will pay" on the poster is also a reminder to everyone. A person "Don't go retrograde, safety first."
In addition, the film also released the "Human Version" trailer today, which begins with the deliveryman's entanglement in the car accident being revealed. Among them, Wei Li and Shen Junyi, who are helpless about the responsibility for the accident, and Xu Xiaoxia, who is worried about her husband's current situation, Lawyer Feng Yuan, who was struggling to choose between law and love, was "trapped" one after another. The sentence "good age" at the end adds to the suspense value of this realism-themed story, making people more concerned about the fate of the protagonist.
