A Touching Movie.

The most impressive movie that I have watched last year is Aftershock that directed by a famous China director, Feng Xiao Gang. The movie is about the Tang Shan earthquake that happened on 28th July 1976. That is a 7.8 rank earthquake. The earthquake causes death of about 240k people.  Besides that, the important point in the movie is about a family that separated by the earthquake. This is a touching movie.

             The story is about a family in Tang Shan. A truck driver, his wife and their twins daughter and son. Their daughter felt that they more love the son since young. Everything that left one they will give to their son first. However, they are still a warm and happy family.
One night, the truck driver went out with her wife. Their daughter and son slept at home. Suddenly they felt something weird. The earthquake started. The truck driver tried his best to run back to save their daughter and son out. But he failed and he was died in the in incident.Tang Shan has been destroyed. After the earthquake, the truck driver’s wife tried to find their daughter and son. Finally she found them. But they trapped under a big concrete block. The rescue team is trying to save them out. But they told her that she have to choose one only. Another one has to be sacrifice. Because of the position of the concrete block, if save anyone, the other side of the concrete block will collapse and the other one will die. Finally she chose to sacrifice her daughter. Her daughter heard that her mother chose to sacrifice her. She felt sad and hurt. She can’t image that her mother will said that.

                  Finally the son has been rescued. But in the end, her daughter survived. She rescued by a soldier. Few days later, a couple of army adopted her. And she changed her surname too. The army couple treated her in a very good way. Everything is well prepared for her. And she finally has her own room. Besides that, they also send her to continue her study at university. However, she still can’t forget the heart pain that her own mother chose to save out her brother. She couple with her classmate in her university. But her boyfriend leaved her when he knew that she pregnant. Her new mother died in the same time. She felt shame to face her new father so she leaved the city. She took care of her daughter alone. A few years later, she married with a Canadian. He is a lawyer. He doesn’t mind that she has a daughter. He treated her very good and treated her daughter as his own daughter. She decided to move to Canada with her husband. Before she leaved China, she went back to her house to inform her new father.


  
            She lived happily with her husband and daughter at Canada. Thirty two years later, she went back to China to join the rescue team for the 2008 Si Chuan earthquake. When she reached the disaster place, she put all her anger down. She finally understand that why her mother did so. She saw a mother trying to save her daughter out by cut her daughter’s both leg out. She felt how pain was the mother’s heart is. When she sat down and rest. She accidently heard a man that telling a story about how he go trough the 1976 Tang Shan earthquake. He lost his one side leg when he rescued by the rescue team. Besides that, he most guilty is he lost his twins sister to survived. She found that he is her twin brother. She followed her brother went back to meet her mother. She felt nervous. When she met her mother, both of them cried. She found that since they lost her, anything her mother bought for her brother, her mother also bought one for her and kept in a big box. They felt sorry to each other. Finally they get back together and she finally can forgive her mother after thirty two years. They all cried together. The ending was so touched.
