Time is hard to steal
23 February 2021 | by liangzihanSee all my reviews

In Chinese word "Shoes are half hard, and half are good. You have to believe in it." Life is better when there are difficulties, and believe it or not, what you believe in is an intriguing topic through the ages. The film "Echoes of the Rainbow" is already a very old Hong Kong film in my impression, and the scattered ones can always leave memories of this film on the movie channel. This is already a childhood memory. When I grew up, I watched movies in china and abroad, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, but I forgot this masterpiece. Today I regain my childhood memories and read it all over again. There are many things that are worth learning and contemplating. Mrs. Luo said that "people must believe". After watching the movie, I have been thinking about what people want to believe, whether to believe in God or believe in fate. If you believe in God, will you really have no worries about food and clothing, and will not disturb you? If you believe in fate, will life really go on in the footsteps arranged by fate? What do people believe all their lives? The Mr. Luo's family is a positive image that cannot be beaten. Even after experiencing all kinds of hardships in life, they still don't give up doing their best to support this family. When the typhoon came, Lao Luo tried his best to protect the house. He kept chanting "keep the roof, keep the roof", and Brother took care of his little brother everywhere, and Mrs. Tai was also thinking about his two sons everywhere. Although a serious illness took Jin yi young life, Mr. Luo also gone a few years later. Originally a happy and happy home for four people, in the end only two people were left to stick to the roof. Perhaps Mrs. Tai believes in the arrangement of fate, and this "arrangement of fate" in her heart is that the elder son's illness will finally get better, and the family life will get better and better... The truth is cruel, and the elder's illness has not been cured. And she did not grow old with my husband. The result seemed very unsatisfactory, as if to say "this is a tragic story." But interested audiences will understand the role of "little brother" here. At the end of the story, Mrs. Luo and the younger brother saw the two rainbows what Jinyi said, and the mother took her son's hand towards the end of the story. In my opinion, this is not a tragedy. Mrs. Luo always believed that she did not believe it wrong, but the ending used another way to prove that she was right. Although she has lost her eldest son and husband, she still has a little son to accompany her. Both the little son and the eldest are played by Li Zhiyan, which also represents some spiritual sustenance. In fact, the family is still together, and it seems that they have never been separated. This is not just a family story, the family relationship is also mixed with the beauty of love. From the love between Jin Yi and Fang Fei in a young age, and the love between Lao Luo and his wife to the middle-aged, the beauty of the world is everywhere. In fact, life is not that difficult, "one step is difficult, one step is good, one step is good, one step is difficult." In times of difficulty, there will always be family members and lovers to bear with you, and in times of good, there will always be people who share the joy of happiness with you. This is life. No one can really distinguish whether life is difficult or good. The life both on it. When suffering is exhausted, it will come willingly, and when willingly comes, you must be prepared for suffering. People must believe and have faith in their hearts, and life will treat themselves kindly.
