Watch this years ago in the school as part of class if I'm not mistaken. But this movie imprint in my mind so strong, that's why I still remember until now.

The natural disaster is really scary for who experienced it first hand. And this movie can quite capture it. There're 2-3 things that really imprint in my mind about this movie.

1. How in chinese culture, son, always be priorities. Like in the summary already stated, the mother prefer to save her son over her daughter. But even before that, we can see in the movie how their mother prefer son over daughter.
2. The word comes from the son, Fang Da, years later when there's another earthquake. More and less... You can't outrun disaster (earthquake), the small one not gonna effect you & the big one even you want to ovoid sometimes it's nust avoidable.
3. The meeting between Fang Deng and her mom & how the forgiveness work is just imprint deep into the heart....

Overall this is a really good movies. Just prepare ur heart to watch this...
