Nothing in this world is unworthy.

For the sake of our parents, children and house, we fight tooth and nail and dare not fall down because there is no one behind us.

You have to hold on to have a chance to catch a glimpse of the future.

But for some people, even if they try their best to live, it is difficult to see the future.

Their lives are not perfect, but their humanity and beliefs shine through.

The documentary "Long Live Life" records the ordinary lives of 40 ordinary people, who have different professions and different beliefs.

Their stories are inconspicuous in life, with no reversal or counterattack.

However, after reading it, many people burst into tears: It’s too real, isn’t this life?

Ordinary, but bone-chillingly real.

The more real it is, the easier it is to tear apart the disguise of adults.

"After paying off the debt, I will go to Chairman Mao Memorial Hall"

Shanghai, summer, high temperature of 42 degrees.

The 82-year-old grandmother guarded the frying pan and shouted: "Five pieces for stinky tofu, five pieces for two Youdunzi (Shanghai snacks)."

In order to pay off the debt for her children, the grandmother We sell snacks from a cart, rain or shine.

The three children, who were raised in a mess, clamored to start a business and forced their parents to sell the house they had lived in for half their lives.

After losing all his life savings, his parents disappeared, leaving a lot of debt for them to repay.

"I can't help it. I have to repay their debts. Who calls me a mother."

After living for most of my life, I suddenly went bankrupt and owed a huge debt. Who should I let go? They were all bolts from the blue.

But when the old lady talked about it, it was as normal as saying, "The groceries are 2 yuan more expensive."

/p>

The old lady said: "I want to see the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall."

After saying that, the old lady smiled very heartily, as if she could go to the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall tomorrow.

"Let's rent a better house. We are living in the 19th century." Grandpa looked at the dilapidated ceiling.

"If I changed to a bigger house, I would still sleep on this bed." Compared to the big house, grandma still wanted to visit Chairman Mao.

If the sky is falling, then carry it. You have never seen such strong winds and waves. After carrying it, go and see Chairman Mao.

"There is no ultimate success, and there is no fatal failure. The most valuable thing is the courage to keep moving forward."

We pretend that we are not afraid of failure, but we cannot learn from grandma to face it head-on. The common sense of failure.

"I didn't steal or rob, so why are you laughing at my job?"

At 12 o'clock in the morning, Brother Ming rode his bike to the food stall. It's time to go to work.

For more than 20 years, he has been selling snails, drinking and singing here almost every night.

Regular customers like to drink, smoke, chat and complain with him.

After enjoying the drinks with the guests, he started singing Xu Xiaofeng’s songs.

Especially the song "Flow Against the Flow" must be sung every night.

This song taught him how to be a human being and helped him get through the most painful times.

He divorced his wife in his early years, and he raised his daughter by drinking and singing.

After sending his daughter to college, her classmates laughed at his work.

His daughter complained about him and wanted him to change his job.

Brother Ming asked his daughter: Have you ever laughed at your classmates’ parents who sweep the streets and pick up trash?

The daughter said, no.

"Then why do they laugh at my work?"

Brother Ming did not steal or rob, he raised his daughter with his own efforts, and he felt no regrets.

Just like the song goes: "I don't believe that I can have it without making sacrifices. I only believe that I can find what I want with my hands."

The last table of guests paid their bills and left. He can get off work.

He pushed the cart, swaying, and when he was tired, he rested against the railing on the street.

He endured all the hardships silently, and never let go no matter how hard it was.

No matter how hard it is, I will have no regrets and be aboveboard.

We pretend to be decent, but we cannot learn from Ming Ge’s uprightness when he was miserable.

"I am not a money man, I still have a conscience"

The 66-year-old man rode a tricycle in Lhasa to carry passengers for 20 years. for many years.

After having a bowl of noodles at home in the morning, he spent the whole day outside soliciting and carrying customers, and did not return home until late at night.

The guest saw that he was out of breath from pedaling and asked him, why didn't he go home at such an old age?

He said that there is more money to be made here.

He has driven countless people to the Potala Palace, but he has never been there himself.

The tickets were too expensive and he couldn't bear to part with them.

He has lived in Lhasa for more than 20 years, but everything in this city has little to do with him.

He is already very strenuous just busy making a living.

Even if it takes a lot of effort, he is very cheerful and energetic towards every guest.

"Are you going? Are you leaving?" he shouted.

Some guests ignore it, and some say: It’s too far, you can’t go.

At this time, grandpa will say, then I will find the nearest one.

When taking people to the hospital, he would always ask, "Do you want help?"

The night before he retired and returned to his hometown, fellow cyclists gave his grandfather a farewell. Everyone talked about their beliefs while drinking. Some said "all appearances are false" and some said they were "money cults".

Grandpa lifted up his clothes, pointed to his heart and said, "I am not a 'money religion', I still have a conscience in my heart."

External life is destiny, inner belief It's the light.

"If you feel that it is worthwhile to remain human, even if it does not lead to any results, you have defeated them."

In life, we pretend to not believe in fate, But unknowingly, I lost my conscience and belief.

"We are lucky to be in this world, just to enjoy happiness"

A blind couple sells songs on the street, and their favorite song is Teresa Teng's Song.

After closing the stall, the two pushed the trolley home.

Grandpa was exploring the road ahead with a cane, and grandma was following him behind.

When walking to the side of the road, grandpa will remind grandma to pay attention to vehicles.

When it rains, he will take out the umbrella from the car and hold it for his grandma.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, they specially bought beer and meat to celebrate the festival.

Before eating meat, grandpa suggested clinking glasses. Grandma happily agreed, but failed several times before they met.

Grandma ate meat and acted coquettishly with Grandpa: Touch my face, do you think I am a beautiful girl?

They have been together for more than 20 years and have never seen what the other person looks like.

Even if their appearance cannot be seen in the eyes, it is enough that they can see each other in their hearts.

In the eyes of grandpa, grandma is just like a child. She can be happy for several days even if she earns a brand new 5 yuan card.

In grandma’s heart, grandpa is like a warrior who can solve everything for her.

Even if the outside light does not enter their world, they are each other's light source, just like Grandpa said:

"I have made a lot of money by living to this age, and I don't have much time left. . I try my best to take care of you. As long as I'm here, I can't let you touch it everywhere."

It's very painful to be invisible. Life is even harder when neither of them can see each other.

However, in Grandpa’s view, in this world, there are cows and horses, but life is the most noble. We are lucky enough to be in this world just to enjoy happiness.

Taking pleasure in suffering is also a kind of happiness.

The body is not good, but the soul cherishes each other, and it is even more joyful to travel to the end of the world with a sword.

Finally, they finally saved enough money and bought an electronic keyboard, and they were even happier singing on the street.

In the face of pain and injustice, they are grateful that they have the ability to enjoy hardship.

Under the pressure of life, we pretend to be happy, but forget that we can truly have fun in the midst of suffering.

"I don't know how many tomorrows there are"

In the ward, a doctor dressed up as a clown to make the sick children happy. The child who was receiving intravenous fluids and wearing an oxygen machine showed a long-lost smile.

But the children didn’t know that the doctor in front of them also had cancer.

Making others laugh will make him happier, even though he doesn’t know how many tomorrows he has left.

He makes people happy during the day, but at night he will think pessimistically: I have never done anything wrong in my life, and my fate is quite unfair.

He wanted to make movies, studied hard, and passed the college entrance examination to major in directing.

But life always seems to play tricks on those who have dreams. On the day I was admitted to be a director, my mother fell ill with cancer.

He gave up his dream and took the nursing major.

When he learned how to take care of his sick mother, her mother died.

When he had just recovered from the death of his mother and wanted to save lives, he himself fell ill with cancer.

Destiny always seems to make things difficult for good-hearted people.

Sometimes he wonders if he did something wrong to have two cancer patients in his family.

Life is really contradictory for him. He can choose to fall, and he will die anyway.

But he didn't, he still chose to see the children's smiles and chose hope.

After dawn, he still followed the video to learn more performances and make more sick children happy.

The world kissed him with pain, but he responded with songs.

If everything is easy, what is the choice?

It was precisely because of the difficulty that his choice became a ray of light.

They are not on a spring outing, this is their only way to go to school.

There are thousands of ravines at the foot of the mountain. If you are not careful, you can easily roll down the mountain.

The living conditions in the village are so poor that all the people have left, leaving only a few children.

He became the only teacher in the village.

The teacher’s family of four lives in a dilapidated house, three of them are sick, and his wife is pregnant with their second child.

If you don’t leave the village, it will be difficult for your family members to get timely treatment if they get sick.

However, if we leave, the children will not learn and will not see the future.

"Knowledge is the most precious. Knowledge is more valuable than anything else. With knowledge, you have everything. People without knowledge can be said to have wasted their lives in this world." This is the teacher's life creed.

It’s hard to choose, it’s a dilemma.

Every time his wife asked him to leave the village and find a job that made money, he always said to hold on until he finished this semester.

After waiting year after year, he is still doing this job with no future.

But he saw the child's future.

Many people will not understand his persistence.

However, the world always needs a group of people who sacrifice something and insist on things that others are not willing to do but must do.

And this group of people, "see the abyss in the sky, and are saved from hopelessness."

This is the story of a retired veteran.

Every day, he writes letters to his late wife. The letters begin with "Dear" and they have not changed for more than 20 years.

After writing the letter, he would put on his military uniform and go to visit his wife at the grave.

His wife didn’t like him wearing sleeveless clothes, and he always remembered it.

In front of the grave, he would read the contents of the letter aloud and chat with his wife.

"I miss you very much."

"I dreamed of you last night."

"I think back then, when we fought the Japanese together... ”

My wife, children, and former comrades-in-arms all died one after another.

Usually he can only play with a tank toy by himself, step forward, and then fall asleep while watching TV.

He doesn't feel depressed. Looking through old photos every day, he can relive those beautiful memories.

But in front of the grave, he said to his wife, don't worry, I will find you soon.

You think he is a lonely old man, but he lives towards death, faces death bravely, and lives actively.

You and I are all mortals, born in this world

We yearn for beauty and associate beauty with material things. We often spend all our efforts and pretend to be The way beauty should be.

But this group of people whose lives are not perfect in the eyes of others tells us that even if material is not beautiful, even if life is incomplete, it cannot prevent ordinary people from seeing beauty and radiating beauty.

We always feel that most people who can shout "Long Live Life" love life;

But this group of people still have "Long Live Life" written all over their faces after being battered by life. "People are the ones who love life most thoroughly.

The tenacity and optimism in their bones make them shine.

After reading the story, perhaps, there will always be some people who will criticize them from the perspective of God: There are so many ways, but it is too stupid to choose this one;

There will also be people Sympathize with them from a bird's eye view: how miserable! There are still such miserable people!

In fact, whenever you want to criticize others, remember that not everyone in this world has to choose a way to live;

Whenever you want to sympathize with others When doing this, remember that your spirit and strength may not be as strong as theirs.

In the documentary, the names of this group of people did not deliberately appear in the picture. They are just representatives of ordinary Chinese people. There are too many such people in life.

This group of people is "entering the narrow gate, walking the long way, and seeing the glimmer of light."

Destiny has arranged a narrow door for them, and the threshold for integrating into the world is higher than others. It was dark inside the door, and they walked in the dark on a long road with no future in sight. The longer they walked, the more they turned themselves into sources of light, illuminating themselves and others.

Their lives may not seem perfect, but they add warmth to this cruel world.

Thank you for letting us see the light in life.

Finally, I would like to share with you a sentence from the writer Shi Tiesheng:

Life is such a process, a process of constantly transcending one's own limitations. This is destiny, and it is the same for everyone. .

In this process, we encounter pain, transcend limitations, and experience happiness.
