No matter what background, people should always fight for themselves.

A few days ago, their learning state entered a bottleneck, and they couldn't get into anything. Obviously, the final exam of professional courses will be held next week, and I still feel sleepy when I read a book. When I was so angry that I had to hit my head on the table, my roommate Xiao A recommended me an English movie called "Wind and Rain Harvard Road", which didn't last for more than an hour.

Liz, the heroine, has lived in a slum family since she was a child. My father doesn't have a regular job. Every day, he likes to sit on the sofa and watch the quiz videos that he has watched countless times (which is also very wonderful). My mother is a drug addict, and even takes the money saved by her two daughters to buy bread to "buy goods". When she is lying on the sofa, her two daughters can only drink water and eat moldy things. Fortunately, an old scavenger next door likes Liz, who has been smart and studious since childhood, and often brings her food and herself.

Because Liz can't afford to pay the water bill, she can only take a bath once a long time. The stench of her whole body and fleas jumping out of her hair from time to time make her classmates laugh at her constantly, which deepens the inferiority complex of Liz, who is still young. She often skips classes from school and stays at home, but the state of her parents at home also makes her feel powerless. It was not until the landlord reported her mother taking drugs and the police took her mother to the compulsory drug rehabilitation center that she felt like she had lost everything. She was forced to drop out of school and was sent to the welfare center to be insulted by other bad girls with similar family conditions. A person's living environment will indeed have a great impact on a person; Like Liz, those girls came from the slums. Some of them were taken away by the police because they were too young. They were full of words starting with F and B, and they had no sympathy. They took pleasure in bullying girls who were weaker than themselves. Liz learned the first lesson in her life here, and she also learned to fight back against her bullies with swearing and violence, and then escaped from that hellhole with a girl. Then the bad news waiting for her was that her mother died, her father was nowhere to be found, and her sister moved to live with her grandfather. Liz also learned that her grandfather had sexually assaulted her own sister after a casual visit to her sister, and her sister had to choose not to speak because she was dependent on others. Liz learned the second lesson after all this happened. Maybe she thought about suicide before her mother died, and she was very envious when she saw a happy family passing by her more than once, and she also resented countless times why she was the only one who was miserable and had such a bad day. But all these thoughts vanished when she saw her mother's coffin being put into a shallow pit less than one square meter; She understands that everyone is an independent individual, and only when people live for themselves can they really live.

She suddenly understood everything. She realized that only by making up her mind to change her destiny can she really get out of the present quagmire, and the best way to achieve all this is reading. So she went to a high school alone to talk with the principal and won the opportunity to study. She started to catch up non-stop and tried her best to finish the four-year high school course in two years. In order to apply for a scholarship from the new york Times, she went to the scene to give a speech, told the story that happened to her in front of journalists with senior experience, and finally won the scholarship and got the admission notice from Harvard University. All these things that seemed impossible to the outside world came true for her one by one. This time, in front of those audiences, she didn't feel ashamed because of her family factors. She didn't fight for every opportunity for herself by telling her painful past. She used her diligence and hard work, and her desperate attitude to achieve her goal was really appreciated.

I couldn't help crying when I saw this place. On the one hand, I shed tears for Liz's hard work and sincerity, for her tragic past, and on the other hand, I shed tears for my present situation. Although I am already a college student, how do I spend my daily life? Even though I'm not as decadent as some people, I make a living by playing games and asking my classmates to sign me in every day, some ideas and plans I thought about before I entered the school were forgotten after I entered the school. Before the college entrance examination, our head teacher always said, "Students, work harder, and it will be easy for you to go to college." But is this really the case? When I was in college, I didn't see many people fooling around. Most people with their dreams went to the library from dawn to dusk. They often began to learn by heart in the study room of the library before 6: 11 in the morning, and didn't hurry out until the library closed at 11: 31 in the evening. My roommate Xiao A is such a person. I once asked her if she was so tired, but she replied, "No, because people are great because of their dreams." Her day is like a spinning top, but I can feel her happiness, because she lives a full day, and just like what she said, as long as people struggle because of their dreams, they will naturally feel happy instead of tired.

In the past two years, many people hate to see chicken soup, and think that what they say is just empty talk to comfort people, which has no real effect. Some students around me have a very relaxed and aimless life every day after going to college. They usually invite roommates to eat and drink, skip classes, and have coffee in the all-night study room before each final exam. The result can of course be imagined. Failing three or four courses, making-up exams cost a lot of money. Over time, instead, they fall into self-doubt, thinking that they are not competent enough, or that the teacher deliberately has a hard time with themselves, and simply take the make-up exams instead of reviewing them in anger, falling into a vicious circle. Once you see that others have made some achievements, you can say that their family background is very good, how can their parents be so capable, and their family background is generally incomparable. But I think in the final analysis, the problem is still on myself, because no one can support a group of mud that does not make progress. I think it is precisely because of the sharp contrast between what is reflected in this film and some phenomena in real life that I feel so deeply.

After watching this film, I suddenly calmed down a lot, and my heart was no longer impetuous. Because I understand two things through the actions of Liz, the hostess. The first is that people's inner desire for urgent success cannot be stopped by any obstacles. If it will be stopped, it can only be said that the dream is not big enough, and that what they think is not what they really want. The second, of course, is that no matter where you are or what your situation is, you must fight for yourself, find what you really need and work hard for it, and don't blame the environment, regardless of rumors. As Xiao A said, people are great because of their dreams. Then occasionally being given some "chicken soup" to nourish the soul will make us more motivated to move on.
