Chapter 905: The old man is homeless and enjoying his old age
Tear-Jerking Director Chapter 905: The old man is homeless and enjoys his old age
The screening of "Sister Tao" is over.
As Li Yi expected, the response of domestic audiences to this movie may not be as good as that of "Thieves of Time", but the response of foreign audiences is much higher than that of "Thieves of Time".
Don’t think that Western audiences are rough people with strong family sentiments, especially in Italy where a son always talks about his mother’s noodles, and his grandfather often becomes the godfather of the kids next door. Even an old Sicilian film projectionist can miss the delicate art very much.
Country. Mutual help and love in life, and the greetings between relatives may actually be part of daily life, but they are temporarily ignored in the busyness. But when all these are surging on the screen, no heart can remain indifferent.
No pair of eyes can help the body evaporate water.
In fact, movies like "Thieves of Time" would have had a good response here, but because the unique culture of Hong Kong Island in "Thieves of Time" was too rich, many elements in it made some people a little
It was cloudy and foggy, so the reaction was relatively ordinary.
But "Sister Tao" is different. Although it also tells the story of Hong Kong Island, it focuses more on the elderly and servants.
For many foreigners, their aging problem is actually more serious than that of Hong Kong Island and that of China.
Therefore, on the contrary, we can have a deeper resonance.
After the screening of "Sister Peach" started, almost every venue was full.
Even foreign reporters burst into tears on the spot!
Because the topic of elderly care is universal across the world, it can even be said that the situation is more prominent in foreign countries.
Perhaps economically, the elderly in foreign countries are better off than those on Hong Kong Island, but emotionally they are lacking too much.

Therefore, it is a matter of course that "Sister Tao"'s program score is much higher than that of "Thieves of Time".
Of course, "Sister Peach" is set in Hong Kong Island, and it is more recent than "The Thief of Time," so many Hong Kong film critics and media people have deeper feelings about this movie.
After all, "The Thief of Time" tells a relatively general concept, lamenting the years and recalling the past.
Just like old photos, it makes people sigh, but "Sister Tao" is closer to reality and closer to the present.
If we talk about the love in "Thieves of Time" and the experiences of the Luo family in it, some people who have had similar experiences may be deeply moved and have great emotional resonance.
But the same "Thieves of Time" is actually, to a certain extent, a past event unique to Hong Kong Island.
But "Sister Tao" is different. Although the protagonist is the servant Sister Tao, in fact, what is extended is the topic of "No Country for Old Men".
And everyone will grow old, and everyone will have that kind of day, so naturally they will have more feelings about this movie.
The editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly", Zhou Qingquan, immediately wrote an emotional review and sent it back to China.
""Sister Tao" - an old man without a home and enjoying his old age!"
“Every elderly person wants to be able to enjoy his old age and spend the last days of his life happily.
With the general trend of aging becoming more and more serious, the topic of elderly care has gradually become a topic of great concern to people.
Because each of us will grow old one day, "Sister Tao" is not so much about a servant's old age as it is about a story about old age.
For aging people, it is enviable to have their children by their side in their later years. However, many elderly people cannot enjoy this kind of treatment due to various reasons and can only go to nursing homes.
In "Sister Tao", the director of the nursing home said that nursing homes are now open all over Hong Kong Island, with as many convenience stores as there are.
This has to be said to be a huge tragedy for society.
We all understand that for the elderly, no one is willing to leave their children and live in a nursing home unless there is no other way. It is so cruel to watch elderly people leaving one after another every day, as if they are counting down their lives.
things.
I think the reason why the movie "Sister Tao" seems to have a very dull plot, without deliberately fanning people, without deliberately creating a tear-jerking atmosphere, but still makes the moviegoers shed tears, is because this movie makes people feel
The flow of love also makes people see the loneliness and desolation of the elderly in the nursing home.
There is no love without reason in the world. Sister Tao is a domestic servant and has worked in the Liang family for 60 years. She has always regarded the old and young of the Liang family as her own relatives and takes care of them with all her heart.
It can be said that Sister Tao devoted her whole life to the Liang family. She was not married and had no children. She worked as a servant in the Liang family from the age of thirteen until she was sixty years old.
Taking over the servant's job!
She has actually become a part of the Liang family for a long time. From top to bottom, the Liang family is so kind to Sister Tao. As each of them grows up, they all leave Sister Tao's mark.
But because Sister Tao is unmarried and has no children, she can only live in a nursing home in her old age.
Simply put, her later life, at least with Roger's care, was as warm as the sun appearing in winter.
She and Roger had a master-servant relationship, but their relationship was that of mother and son. Although there didn't seem to be much communication between them when Sister Tao was good, over the years, the two had become accustomed to each other.
Maybe it's not because they don't want to communicate more, but because they have a tacit understanding that goes beyond the relationship between mother and child. Sister Tao can understand Roger's words, expressions and movements.
Before Sister Tao got sick, Roger lived the life of a young master. He could not even use a simple washing machine.
After Sister Tao fell ill, Roger's life suddenly became a mess. This made him suddenly pay more attention to the old man who had watched him grow up, who had accompanied him in his childhood, his youth, and his youth. It turned out that he had been with him for a long time.
It has been engraved in all his memories.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He began to clumsily learn to take care of Sister Tao, making soup for her, although it was not that delicious, taking her to watch movie premieres, and putting fish and meat in a bowl for her.
Whenever he had time, he would visit Sister Tao and chat with her. Sister Tao was seriously ill and she was sitting in a wheelchair. He pushed her to bask in the sun.
Sister Tao had no children in her life, and Roger chose to use this method to make up for this shortcoming in her later years, because Sister Tao gave all her love to the Liang family.
So in the end, he gave Sister Tao a pension and died, and Roger's sister volunteered to pay for Sister Tao's expenses after a hundred years.
Sister Tao once took care of Roger's grandmother, Roger's mother, who suffered a stroke, and took care of four generations.
Sister Tao gave her selfless love to the Liang family, and gave her back a lot of love.
When Roger's mother was hospitalized, Sister Tao took great care of her. She wished she could move the kitchen at home to the hospital.
Sister Tao lived in a nursing home. Roger's mother visited Sister Tao and cooked bird's nests for her, even though Sister Tao criticized her for not cooking well.
She knew that Sister Tao gave her socks when her feet were cold in winter and gave her her scarf.
She freed up a house in her family for Sister Tao to live in for her retirement.
Sister Tao was very kind to every member of Roger's family, and the family members gave back to Sister Tao their gratitude and respect.
On the first anniversary of the birth of the fifth-generation child of the Liang family, they invited Sister Tao to participate. When taking a group photo, they asked Sister Tao to sit in the middle.
Everyone is very close to Sister Tao, because Sister Tao regards them as her own family and does her best to take good care of them. In fact, Sister Tao is still willing to continue if she can, but unfortunately, she can't do it anymore.
The people in nursing homes are a microcosm of the entire society.
Aunt Jin was the first friend that Sister Tao met in the nursing home. Like many traditional mothers with old-fashioned ideas, she stubbornly favored sons over daughters and transferred the house to her son prematurely. Her children sent her to the nursing home and promised to make good arrangements with their children.
Share the pension, but my son’s share has not yet been paid.
Every time Aunt Jin calls her son, she always leaves a message, but no one is there.
My daughter has always loved Aunt Jin, even though she has always complained that she favors her son, and accuses her mother of treating her like grass and treating her son like a treasure.
During the Chinese New Year, Aunt Jin kept waiting for her son to pick her up for the Chinese New Year, but she never did.
Her daughter came to invite her to spend the New Year with her, but she refused to go. She always wanted to go to her son.
She only agreed to go to her daughter's house to celebrate the New Year after Sister Tao's persuasion. Aunt Jin accidentally fell down while going to the toilet and was taken to the hospital and never woke up.
My daughter packed up Aunt Jin's belongings and carefully held the pillow she used when she was alive. Thinking of Aunt Jin, tears fell down her cheeks.
When she signed and left the nursing home, she couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly in front of everyone.
She will never complain about her mother favoring her son again, because she will never see her mother again, and all her feelings for her mother will turn into endless longing.
In the face of life and death, she chose to forgive her mother's favoritism. Sadly, the precious son that Aunt Jin had always been thinking about was not seen from the time she appeared until her death. Instead, her daughter often came to see her and see her off on her last journey.
Aunt Jin's tragedy largely stems from her education methods and old-fashioned ideas. She over-indulged her son and did not pay enough attention to her daughter.
However, this situation is not uncommon in today's society.
In fact, Aunt Jin does not ask for much, or in other words, every elderly person does not ask for much. What the elderly need is not even meticulous company at all times, but even a little care.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and a group of people, under the guise of showing condolences to the nursing home, are actually doing a superficial job.
The female singer sang to the old man and faced the old man with a smile on her face. When the singing was over, she stood beside him with an angry and reluctant look on her face.
They distributed mooncakes to the elderly and took the mooncakes back after taking pictures.
The old man sat on the bench, and waves of people came to visit them in name, but in fact they were just using the guise to achieve their business purposes.
The old man was tired and wanted to go back to rest. The director of the nursing home asked them to be patient a little longer.
The old people are not enjoying themselves, they are clearly suffering.
But should these people ask themselves, if one day you grow old, will you be like them?
The elderly do not need expensive gifts. What they need is someone who can chat with them and truly care about them. They have come to the last period of their lives and they just long for a little comfort when they are lonely. But Even so, you still can't get what you ask for.
After watching the movie "Sister Tao", I was not only moved by the love between Roger and Sister Tao that was better than mother and son, but also had a deep fear of nursing homes.
In the nursing home, I saw more of the loneliness and desolation of the elderly.
In nursing homes, for many young people, countless reasons can be given, why they can find many friends there, not be so lonely, have someone to take care of them, etc., etc.
During the New Year, the elderly without the company of their relatives can only spend time alone, as if abandoned by the world.
Aunt Jin fell down while going to the toilet and was taken away by an ambulance. The elderly people in the nursing home stretched their heads and watched all this.
They have become accustomed to parting here. They know that when people get older, they will be taken away by death at any time.
But isn’t this the cruelest thing to the elderly living in nursing homes?
Their helpless and helpless figures make people feel sad to see them. I hope all the elderly can have someone to rely on in their old age.
I hope there will be more caring people who care for the elderly and bring happiness to them in their later years."
