The movie is the third installment of Li Yang’s “Blind” series, which tells the story of a singer who pretends to be blind and a beggar girl who is really blind, who live together in the darkness, reflecting the plight and suffering of street beggar children at the bottom of society.
This movie is Li Yang’s new work after ten years, and it is also the only one of his “Blind” series to be released in mainland China.
Compared with the previous two films “Blind Well” and “Blind Mountain”, this film does not have the sharpness to face the ugliness of human nature and the darkness of the society, and does not overly exaggerate or embellish the characters and plots, but tries to keep it as real and simple as possible.
As a result, the movie’s reputation is also the worst of the three.
