Unlike Westerners, New Year is extremely important in Asian countries. It's an opportunity to reunite with family after a while. So many people, whatever they do, will try to make time to go home during this special event. In China, where the population is overwhelming, more than 130 million migrant workers are trying to return to their villages of origin. It is the result of a process of semi-industrialization, where the country is stuck between its rural agricultural past and its rapid economic development. “Last Train Home,” a film directed by Lixin Fan, highlights the difference between rural and urban areas. At the same time, the film secretly makes viewers wonder what they should do if they were in the character's shoes. The first part of this essay will attempt to cover the difference between rural and urban areas, ranging from the physical landscape to lifestyles. Meanwhile, the second half of this essay will express my point of view, what I would do if I were the parents in the film. The film begins with an empty, paved field. However, as the camera pans, a sea of ​​people can be seen behind the barriers. The noises, the number of people struggling to get up make the scenario look like the start of a riot. Yet they are all just trying to get tickets home. Among these migrant workers, there are two characters, a husband and a wife named Zhang Changhua and Chen Suqin respectively. They left their grandchildren in Huilong for grandparents to care for and moved to Guangzhou City. When they left, their eldest daughter was just a child. As the parents later shared with the principal, they had “no choice” but to leave their children. However, the difference between...... middle of paper ...... can't do it. If the wife decides to leave, this decision will make Changhua the sole breadwinner of the family. They are barely able to support the old family. Even if they are rich, babies still cost a reasonable amount of money. For the poor, now, with a new member, it puts more pressure on them. We must therefore put ourselves in the place of others before passing judgment. The film “Last Train Home” doesn’t just depict the differences between rural and urban areas. It also tells of the struggles and choices that poor people have to make at the same time. However, because many different considerations are taken into account, the decision is not always as simple as determining whether it is a good or bad choice. If I am the parents who have to take care of my family, in these circumstances, maybe I would do the same thing too.
