    One of my favorite Chinese movies this year.

    "Ye Hai Zi" feels real. It captures that overwhelming sense of helplessness, fear, and despair and projects it onto the big screen. But at the same time, there's a sense of warmth. You're right there with Ma Liang and Xuanxuan as they search for hope and a way forward. The film pulls you into the ups and downs of human nature, and you get a glimpse of life's complexities through the deep, almost familial bonds they share. Some movies reflect the past, others speak to the present, and some are meant for the future. So, where does "Ye Hai Zi" fit in? I'd like to think it's about the past, but with that glaring 388,000 figure in the closing credits, it seems more like a cautionary tale for the future-a restrained, thoughtful wake-up call for us all.

    The film "Wild Children" is a thought-provoking work, which shows the living state and inner world of children on the edge of society through the story of two ill-fated teenagers Ma Liang and Xuan Xuan. Wang Junkai in the film played Ma Liang, is a living in the bottom of the street children, but he used tenacity and love for his brother Xuan Xuan propped up a warm home.

    In the film, Wang's performance is subtle and profound, and the complex emotions of Ma Liang's character are fully conveyed. He is both a social outcast struggling to survive and a brother full of responsibility. Through subtle expressions and actions, Wang Junkai shows Ma Liang's tenacity in the difficult situation and his selfless care for his brother, making people feel the warmth and strength of the character's heart. Guan Zixie is equally excellent as Xuan Xuan, and the sincere relationship between him and his brother adds moving color to the film.
