It’s been a long time since I’ve watched a movie. Maybe it was a decade ago. So far I can remember the movie’s name: Mermaid, and the director is a famous comedy director called Zhou Xingchi from Hong Kong. The most impressive thing about watching movies was in my childhood. At that time, there was no cultural entertainment life in the countryside. As far as I can remember, the only thing that can make us excited is watching movies. When night comes, we bored fellow kids have nothing to do but look for somewhere to play movies. For doing this, we just depend on hearing the sound of the generator because as long as some villages play movies, they must use generators. Why? because back then, the countryside didn’t have electricity. Besides, playing movies was all outside in the fields. When we found some village was playing movies, we fellow children would walk for several kilometers to go there and when we were back, it was almost midnight. Although we felt tired, we were very happy.
