I Recommend a Heartwarming Movie
Meanwhile, "Spring No War" was also officially released in China.
Domestic audiences were completely confused after watching the Cannes awards ceremony.
I have no idea what this movie is about.
After the packed premiere, the audience looked completely bewildered, as if their brains had been whipped around several times.
But soon, that healing and mysterious smile also spread throughout the country.
Jiangcheng.
No. 900, West City North Road, Jiangcheng City Mental Hospital.
Doctor Hao glanced at the cafeteria's layout and nodded in satisfaction.
The cafeteria has been equipped with a huge projection screen, projector, and tables and chairs arranged to resemble a movie theater.
Tonight, a movie will be shown here for the patients in the hospital.
The movie is called "Spring No War".
This is part of a movie-themed charity event specially sponsored by Lu Ban.
Since this film doesn't need to consider box office revenue, Lu Ban's goal is to reach a wider audience and increase its influence.
Schools, mental hospitals, prisons, towns, villages, fields, and among the broadest masses of people.
This time, the film screening was a public service event held at Jiangcheng Mental Hospital.
Doctor Hao himself hadn't seen the movie. He had only heard from others that it could heal people's hearts and that watching it would rekindle their longing and hope for life.
He found it quite impressive; in all his years as a psychologist, he had never encountered a work that could truly change a person's attitude towards life.
If watching movies can make people more positive, then will psychologists be out of a job?
The patients sat separately according to the severity of their symptoms, Doctor Hao immediately spotted the painter named Bi Jia.
He is now a caring older brother figure in the intensive care unit, helping doctors provide psychological counseling to other patients.
However, he always believed that his mental illness was very serious.
Perhaps this is also a kind of illness.
Bi Jia invited the patients in the intensive care unit to sit down, and then came to Doctor Hao.
"Doctor, we're all here, we can begin."
Doctor Hao gestured for him to sit down and then had the projectionist start playing the film.
He sat down next to the projector, took a cup of water infused with goji berries, and blew on it.
The movie begins.
More than a hundred minutes later, the cafeteria of the mental hospital was completely silent.
The patients stared silently at the gradually appearing list of production staff.
Doctor Hao. Hao sat there in a daze. He felt he should think about something, he felt he should do something, but he couldn't move or speak. All that remained in his mind was the last image of Amber.
The goji berry water has gone cold.
Doctor Hao could see Bi Jia slowly standing up, coming to his side, and patting him on the shoulder.
"Just say what you want to say. It will make you feel better."
Bi Jia reassured him.
Doctor Hao's expression finally broke down; tears streamed down his face as he sobbed uncontrollably, collapsing into Bi Jia's arms as if he had completely broken down.
"Why did this happen? Why did this happen? What did she do wrong?!"
The other nurses and doctors, following Doctor Hao's emotional breakdown, also began to break down one after another.
At this moment, the mental patients came one by one to the side of the medical staff, trying their best to comfort them.
The cafeteria was filled with a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Such scenes are happening all over the country.
In the hardened criminal prison, the day after watching "Spring No War," more than 30% of the criminals confessed to other crimes that had not been discovered, and some criminals who had previously refused to plead guilty tearfully signed confessions.
In ordinary prisons, the inmates became much more proactive in their work, with many diligently writing self-criticism reports, learning new knowledge, and striving to reform themselves.
Within three days of the movie's release, the police station received thousands of confessions, with some even revealing that they had stolen spicy snacks from a convenience store near their school when they were in elementary school.
Although it may seem unbelievable, Lu Ban's "Spring No War" has actually helped many people rediscover the meaning of life.
The world in the movies is so tragic, while our world is so beautiful. What reason do we have not to strive for it?
On the street, when you encounter someone with a healing and mysterious smile, there's no doubt that they've just watched "Spring No War".
Police officer He Youwu has been feeling somewhat fatigued lately.
He often works the night shift, so he can't sleep well and is losing hair. Although he is only in his twenties, he looks haggard and old, like someone in their thirties or forties.
In addition, recently, for no apparent reason, many people have come to volunteer, He Youwu quite busy.
That day, he was on duty in the duty room again.
"These are common fatigue symptoms in modern people. Do you often feel sleepy, unable to open your eyes or get up in the morning, tired at work, unable to concentrate, wanting to slack off, and unable to fall asleep at night, only wanting to look at your phone, and before you know it, it's late at night again?"
Colleague Chen Danshen inquired.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
He Youwu nodded hastily.
Is there any way to treat it?
"I recommend you watch a movie. It's very healing. After watching it, your mood should be relieved, and you'll be filled with hope for life again."
Chen Danshen recommended it.
"Really? What movie is it?"
He Youwu asked curiously.
"It's called ' Spring No War,' and it's showing in theaters right now. You can go see it after you finish your shift if you have nothing else to do."
Chen Danshen smiled.
He Youwu felt that the smile was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with it.
Chen Danshen has been my partner for so long, surely she wouldn't betray me?
With this thought in mind, He Youwu went to the movie theater. Only after buying the movie ticket did he realize with a start that this was none other than Lu Ban.
Oh, he is indeed a director; his previous movies were quite good.
He Youwu felt that his memory was also declining.
He sat down and watched the movie begin, unfold, and then see the ending.
After leaving the movie theater, He Youwu did not send a message to Chen Danshen. Instead, he went directly to No. 900, West City North Road.
He felt there might be something wrong with his brain and that he needed to get treatment quickly.
However, upon arriving here, He Youwu felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
The doctors in the corridor were of varying ages, and I didn't see many young nurses.
He Youwu registered and waited in line before arriving at the psychological counseling room.
Hello, how can I help you?
The doctor was quite young and seemed to have the air of an artist.
"It's like this, I just finished watching a movie, and my mind is really messed up right now. I think there might be something wrong with my cognition, and I wanted to ask..."
He Youwu had only spoken halfway when his keen intuition as a policeman made him realize something.
The doctor was wearing hospital slippers, and the pants peeking out from under his white coat were clearly those of a patient's gown.
He's a mental patient!?
He Youwu hurriedly raised his head, only to find that the doctor was giving him a healing and mysterious smile.
Looking at that smile, He Youwu suddenly understood.
He also showed the same smile.
