DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS

This film is based on real-life events. I take the film as a mirror to truthfully reflect the place where I live and the world that I cognise, as well as all the things I have heard and seen. My film is not aimed at moving people to tears or being a shot in the arm. Instead, it tries to describe objectively the true meaning of life, without appealing to the senses. This is also my original intention of making this film. Some scenes in the film would be sad but not that tearful, while they may leave the audience a heavy heart; some scenes would be hopeful but not that comfortable, while they could still warm the cockles of their heart.

导演阐述

这是一部根据真实事件改编的电影，我把这部电影当成镜子，把我生活的地方，我所认知的世界，我所看到的听到的经历的一切，如实表达出来。我的这部影片不是催泪弹，也不是兴奋剂，是脱离了感官刺激后冷静的描述生活中的真谛，这也是我制作这部电影的初衷。电影中有些悲伤，不一定让人落泪，但那种沉重会直戳心灵；电影中也有些希望，不一定让人释怀，但总会有一丝温暖落在心底。
