Living in a puzzle to become a puzzle

Today I skipped an entire day of classes (one 90-minute machine learning class and two recitations) just to watch this movie thoroughly. As an 18-year-old who grew up in Beijing, China, and now attends college in the U. S. studying technology, I felt deeply connected to the discussion about rural science. I remember, when I was little, I used to go to an art studio deep in the hutongs of Houhai. I'd spend an entire afternoon completing a painting. We probably experimented with many different mediums, but I only remember using acrylics because all my attention was focused on how to sneak in time to watch Charlie IX on my iPad during bathroom breaks. There was also a kebab shop we always passed by on our way.There's a saying that scientists shouldn't be religious-that they should be agnostic since no religion has been definitively proven true or false. But whether scientific or not, beliefs are what support people. The answer to the universe is ourselves, and just as DNA forms genes, we form the answer. While chasing the infinite answer, if you turn around, "you'll see the afterglow of the universe".

A interesting find!

A well made heartwarming film, interspersed with a whimsical undertone and aptly curated scores. I am searching for similar pieces but at the moment would kind of place it like a feel-good outdoorsy The Office in a different cultural setting. I thought the english translation of the title could be renamed a little better as its namesake is a popular Chinese novel; despite the characters making appearance in the film and the train journey west from beijing to chengdu. Glad to see that it has won several awards and accolades. The director of photography a did a good job in capturing south-western china.
