Every lonely person longs to be needed.

If you've ever been lonely, you know how good it feels to be needed.

I have always believed that people's desire to survive in extreme circumstances often comes not from "I haven't lived enough", but from "there are people waiting for me to take care of".

After watching "Antarctic Love", I believe this truth even more.

How could a stupid rich man with no experience of outdoor survival survive all the hardships in Antarctica?

Just because he's liked, just because he's wanted.

You may think this is a joke, then be a joke, anyway, fate has played a lot of jokes with us.

If you've ever been lonely, you know how good it feels to be needed.

In countless late nights, you have picked up the phone, want to find the person you like to talk to, but you take and put, write and delete, send and withdraw, because you are afraid.

You're afraid of wishful thinking.

You're afraid you need them, but they don't need you.

You are so afraid of disturbing, that even if you send a "disturb", also feel that this sentence itself is also a kind of interruption.

You are a candle, willing to use life to burn for her.

It sounds beautiful.

But unfortunately, her life is lit up, and she doesn't need your faint candlelight.

Lonely, is no place to put candlelight; Love, is each other burning light.

Every lonely person longs to be needed.

In "No Questions", Huang Xiaoming holds a disfigured Zhang Ziyi and says a long love speech. Many people are moved by that speech.

But what impressed me more was another line from Huang Xiaoming: "I have people who need to be taken care of."

You can tell someone you love them in thousands of words, but "I have someone I need to take care of" is enough.

"Antarctic Love" also has many poignant lines, these lines also explain what it means to be needed.

For example, the male master Fuchun said to the female master Ruyi: "Ruyi, I came back".

This sentence is so plain, plain as Chibi Maruko-chan's "I'm back."

But it is this saying that gives people a feeling of coming home, home is a very warm place, and in the Antarctic, it happens to need this warm.

Every day he went out looking for hope, only to find that it was her inside the house that was the hope.

The so-called care for each other, is nothing more than outside he wants to go home, the people inside are waiting for him.

Another example is "I am afraid of the wind stopping, because the wind stops, there will be no sound; but I am afraid of the wind, the wind together, behind the footprints will be gone".

This line interprets loneliness and helplessness incisively and vividly.

In the uninhabited South Pole, the wind is almost all you can hear, and you want wind to keep you company.

But with the wind, you are afraid of footprints disappear and can not find the way back.

This is a contradiction.

All lonely patients have this paradox, their mental world is as barren and cold as the Antarctic.

You are eager to find a person to solve the loneliness, but you are afraid to find the wrong person, but will be more lonely.

The hero and heroine are in such a lonely environment to warm each other, they come together because of survival, and because they come together and determined to survive.

This film is very warm, because the interpretation of each other.

This film is very cold, because the people of each other will eventually face a choice: do you want to forget in the river's lake?

The most cruel thing in the world is not to let you down, but to give you hope first.

Go see this movie. If you're happy now, you'll appreciate it even more after. If you are lonely at the moment, you will yearn for happiness after watching.

May you find someone to take care of as soon as possible, may you be taken care of as soon as possible, and may you never be disappointed again.
