Recommendation Challenge feb 2025
Watch this for my recommendation challenge by Crafty. One heart-warming story of a family. Sometimes the most beautiful family is not the one we were born into, but simply the one that we found later on in our life. As usual MDL summary is quite messy. Let me tell u the story from my perspective.
Story about Mo San Mei (SM), who has been lost in the world. SM feels forced to do his family's business for generations; to arrange the funeral for the dead one, they offer their service from doing make up, rearranging the body if the body is crushed by accident, until providing the urn after they're being cremated. One line of work that we often look one eye at because we think it brings bad luck, but also one important job to escort our loved one for their final time…
One day, when SM was preparing the body of an old woman, he got attacked by a child. This child is Wu Xiao Wen (XW), the old lady is XW’s grandma who was dead during her sleep. So, XW’s grandma never said her last goodbye to XW & XW has no one except her grandma, feels SM took her grandma from her. Since no one really cares nor pays attention to her, XW slips to go search for SM's car & begins harassing SM to give her grandma back.
Frustrated yet not knowing what to do with XW, SM only could call XW’s uncle to take XW back. But it turns out XW uncle's household did not allow them to take XW in. The desperate uncle finally turns to SM for help. At first only for a few days, but soon those days turn into permanent.
SM with the help of his friends / employees Yin Bai Xue & Wang Jian Ren, adopt & take care of XW. From XW, SM learns how to take responsibility, how to be a dad & find a new meaning for his life & learn new appreciation for his line of work. And XW herself learns that someone loves & welcome her.
When everything looks beautiful, comes a new problem; XW’s mom returns & asks for XW back. So how in the end SM handle the situation…?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers. From this movie we really can see how selfish adults are, & also how beautiful the child love is. Really one beautiful story to be watched.
