Almost cried from beginning to end while watching. It has been 10 years since the earthquake. I was still a kid when it happened and all I remember was the casuality number and propoganda on TV about the efforts of the army and government to secure people.
Through this film, I can finally walk a bit closer to the real situation of people there and look into the social problems behind. Grieving, asking for justice, protesting, being hold back. As a Chinese, I am so familiar with this kind of storytelling, because it's happening around all the time (even now in 2022 in Shanghai). But still, even in the end, they still have to trust the government and the party, even if they are having no reponses back at all.
