I almost knew nothing going into this movie. Didn't even watch the trailer just read a little about the synopsis and damn was I surprised. This movie was a helluva roller coaster of emotions!

This movie is mostly set in 2013 and tells the harrowing story of an orphaned older brother and sister trying to find their way and survive in the bustling cut throat concrete jungle of Shenzhen... One of China's busiest cities.

Not going to lie was not expecting the emotional punch or journey this movie took me thru. I actually cried a couple times and the less I say about that the better. One thing I WILL say tho is this movie had a TON of heart.

The love btwn the characters absolutely shines thru. Some of the situations may seem hard to believe but I've been to China multiple times and know they are ALL very plausible. Def an under appreciated gem and I hope it gets more buzz at is a movie worth watching 🙏

Yeah this movie has it all. If you just want a movie to get you to laugh and cry, feel inspired and feel helpless, then this is for you

Great acting, visuals were decent, overall just a good movie.

This is a feel-good escape film to lift your spirits if you're feeling down. It can make you laugh and smile, regardless of your everyday concerns. That is precisely what I need right now. A simple yet beautiful film that inspires us to be optimistic about the opportunities life has to offer. It tells the story of a poor orphan, a self-taught repairman who, after the death of his mother, bears responsibility for his sick younger sister. His only objective was to save enough money for his sister's surgery. The film teaches its audience the value of persistence, camaraderie, and continuous effort. It focuses on the struggle, culture, and the challenges society faces.

This kind of movie is like listening to a successful speech. When you listen to it, the blood is boiling, but after listening to it, it is too smooth to think about it. The protagonist met so many employees who worked wholeheartedly for him, and in the end, everyone succeeded. It was really a miracle like the title of the film. Douban can't open up the discussion and reduce it by another star.

It's no surprised that this Chinese theme film is nonrealistic. And it's hard to let audiences believe what cured the little sister's illness, especially there is no scene filming about the relationships between the doctor and the patient's family people. It is absolutly lack the real life experience.

But the beauty of the buildings and the hard work of the cleaners formed a very strong contrast. In the film language that could not be clearly stated, the director gave us a real China image.
