Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
this is truth and its our society´s day a day, its all about the money, more material things that are really senseless in our human quest ,we have a life to live not to work, not to get more money, not to be good with our bosses not to stick with this system and this corrupted capitalism that only blocks our heads.. we need to find our happiness, a happy life its what we are all looking for
are you really happy? if not..why you don´t change it? because of your job?
I wonder why hk government doesn't give support to the poor with low salary. I don't we have to set law like minimium wage, but subsidy provision is needed. I don't know why the citizens who do not work and search job receive transfer payment from govnment and enjoy tea time every day. it is shamful. Lazy people do not work, becoming the most fortunate. Hail hk government.
In Hong Kong, many poor people need to work hard to survive. They earn tiny wages. Their costs of living are expensive too, which they dont have enough money to spend other things, even take 2 jobs a day.
Hong Kong has a right wing politic, so many poor HongKongese don't get the chance to have normal life.
i think this animation is really good. It perfectly describes how pointless our lives really are, full of meaningless tasks... and just when you think youre about done more crops up... even when you are falling off the building you will get ordered back to stuff. Its true that we make our lives as hard as they are by ourselves but there are many outside modifiers.
But, If I was her, instead of killing myself, I'll push that ruthless boss first, heh...she/he is not even worth of alive by making her do too much (I guess she even not paid well by that terrible boss, she's working like slave to that boss)
I just thinking that it is better for her to open her own business rather than work to that ruthless boss. (But I know it's easier to said than done, in the world in this video or in real life )

I can't bring myself to consider a slue of lazy tweens and poorly rendered, vaguely representative shapes "stunning animation". The voice-acting was terrible, and the theme wasn't at all conveyed to be clever or evocative.
The only visual and thematic merit this piece holds is around 3:55. It's simple composure portrays a dream-like atmosphere and actually evokes some manner of thematic relevance.
Well, I mean the video was made five freaking years ago. The debate on whether it's good or not died down a long time ago.
It portrays a cultural issue in China, and is somewhat educational as well as a creative means of artistic expression. Going out of your way to post an overanalytical youtube comment, which will only be read by no more than 20 member in its existence, just seems like a way to inflate your own ego to the point that you convince yourself that your opinion really matters here.

Presure to the body and to the soul is sometimes huge !
As those ballons , flower , bird ... those were the ways she liked and that kept her sane ... now the flower is ded , bird in a cage , ballon falling down ....
People would do anything to give them selfs just a second of a peace , quiet , even if that means to do something extreme ( killing yourself is just one option , but theres always something worse than hurting yourself ...).
"My world may not be real , but it's better than yours!"
Amazing... the melancholy, the soundtrack, the animation, the way the voices were portrayed, the story... the sadness, the feeling of being lost in a endless road with no way out. 5 Stars and favourited. An authentic goosebump maker. Also, it somehow reminded me of Robot Carnival O.o
Also somehow reminded me of a game, with the missions or quests. Anyway, excelent!!
I live in HK, it's very sad to see that the city finally becomes such a sad place for its citizen. Only the privileged class are allowed to vote for their ideal leader as well as 50% of the seat in HK's parliament. The working hour becomes longer and longer. The wage is lower than the 1997 level yet the privileged class can enjoy all the GDP growth.
the beautiful piano music and the general melancholy of this film strongly reminds me of the "Cloud" segment of Robot Carnival. check it out if you havent... its a bit old, and in an unfamiliar anthology format, but Robot Carnival is damn good anime.
PS: if chinese language anime is always this good, consider me converted!! :)
schmidtwangtainan-----> my chinese are not that good...but r usaying something bout the milk??? your no. 2 saying that Allah aberdeen something something farm and another something???? wut the f-word wrong with u mate???
well guys sorry to say but that's life...but i dont think life is that sad...maybe i'm saying like this bcos i didn't experienced it...well maybe but you can say something like that...well i also believe that sometime media
exagerrate things a little from the truth.....c'mon mate life not always that bad....it's just my opinion dont take it seriously..anyway it's a nice story tho
It isn't that much of an exaggeration. My Chinese partner's father had three jobs simultaniously, and still had to steal to afford to pay the bills. Her Mother only had time to get 4 hours of sleep for six years solid. Everyday. Some people just seem to work themselves to death.
this is very evoking and holds deep meaning. its sad how even as civilization has progressed, the human will hasn't. i feel sorry for her since she hardly has choice, she's not even allowed to commit suicide... and shes forced to work continuously :( dont get me wrong though, you shouldnt commit suicide :P
living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I can relate all to well to this video The hectic pace of our daily lives leaves a lot of good undiscovered Thank you!
it Hong kong,it's crowded over there it's kinda similar to japan.but japan has it's quiet places.I don't think Hong Kong has any i think it's just a city.
sorrys! i thought it was like a island city i've only been to the airport in HK, the plane always stop there before going to china. it's a busy and small place so didn't know sorrys.
The style of the animation is interesting, but I don't like the story, Especially while the main character jump off the building. The POV of this is too self-orientated, very typical HK people's thought. The animation is just too far exaggerated to the reality and HK is not what you think.
Sad, sad commentary on modern life. As the economy continues its downward spiral, many people in the US will have to get used to this same kind of life, or end up homeless and hungry. So many lay offs mean that those who are 'lucky' enough NOT to be laid off will be doing not only their work, but also of a dozen or more who WERE laid off. Probably at reduced wages as well. It is getting VERY scary here, always waiting for the 'other shoe to drop'. And, it will get LOTS worse before (IF) better.
This shows the tireless effort of a normal day in the HK working class life. I reflects on how we should actually spend the day instead of being so exhausted and busy all day. However, parts of this is still here in HK. The people work too long and get tired.
Too much is going on in HK, we should slow dow our paces and relax once in a while.
Great Animation, purely made by creative & logical reflection on HK. Motivated me and inspired me to express my views on those issues. Thx so much for making this video. I hope it gets a great place in the Youtube film screening competition.
Beautiful film, thanks a lot, to share this, Is the reality now in the cities. the only thing that remains is just to think if we really want to continue like this...
Work Is not Your living - it's ur earning to live.
It's Not everything in life
We shouldn't depend everything on just work or one person.
Cities are usually extreme bcuz in HK, many parents and people have to work long periods. There are still many families which earn very little & need lots of help bcuz they can't help themselves.
Families should be together more often than work, therefore the city environment would bring more Joy to HK.
The Work in This animation shows no hope in life :(
There are almost no more 9 to 5 in Hong Kong now. The working hours are very long. It's no good for the health of the staffs & the harmony of their families. & children has no adults to take care of. They only depands on the domestic helpers or grandparents. Some young people just fooling around outside with friends. It will become a burden to the society. Our Government should do something for it.
Great comment, it really reflects the burden of the city which has been ruled by greed. Its not too late but we realli should persuade good reasons to stop these issues.
ACT NOW. don't procrastinate pls. hehe ^^
Moving On, I want to express what i think about the climate in HK. REALLI HOT & BAD, still Winter & ITS HOT.
DO WE NEED SO MANY LIGHTS IN THE MORNING OR AT NIGHT????!
I agree with what you said & had discussed with our noble councilors. But I found it's no use. They only spend their time on some things they think it's worthwhile.
That's why so many moms quit their jobs to look after their children. It's a loss to our society.
About the lights, I think you will agree with me that some places (e.g. Causeway Bay) are brighter than the daytime even all shops are closed after midnight. :(
pretty painful to watch

香港已經比地內地or其他落後地區好, 佢地就算每日辛勞做十幾廿個鐘, 都仍要過捱餓的生活。
響香港, 如果純粹為三餐為過活, 我唔相信要做到片中咁誇張, 但我一再強調, 講故唔好駁故, 只不過咁誇張的"比喻"手法, 反而令我投入唔到o者, 個人感想。

@zandztone 轉工？有好多人連工都搵唔到，而好多工作如果要離職都要1~3個月前通知，當然，如果搵到一份可以等你1~3個月既好工，無人唔會轉。但事實會唔會咁易？又如果用呢3個月黎搵工，萬一搵唔到，就會變待業，再搵唔到就會變失業。我相信一定搵到好工既人應該唔多，永遠都好彩既人更加係少之又少。
最後，我相信無一個故仔係完美既，世界上有好多唔同既人，亦有好多唔同既命運，有邊個故仔係可以反映到所有人既情況或者心情？
你完全無故事中既問題，理解唔到既話，咪純粹當係個動畫咁睇囉。你話佢誇張，但你又知唔知誇張都係一種表達方法？明眼人一睇就知現實無可能會同動畫裡面一樣，但如果動畫真係完全唔誇張，同現實一模一樣既話，果d叫做記錄片，而且同外國果d什麼野生記錄片唔同，因為發生既地點就係香港，一個大家住緊既地方，既然係現實度都可以睇到，仲有咩可看性？

大家又可唔可以反過來諗下, 每個人都不斷出賣時間、精神、健康，去追求供車供樓食好著好生活好，到頭來反而係捱壞左自己﹖
上面條片, 大多數人都著眼於個老闆點刻薄，其實可唔可以換個角度去諗下故事既意義 可能都想提醒大家唔好被工作攪到太大壓力，要識得放鬆下。
zandztone 1 year ago
@zandztone
閣下對創作的框框限得太刻薄太死了
誇張是一種表達手法,有點sense的人都明白故事內容不合乎現實甚至有部分畫面不合邏輯
但過程與欣賞是藝術裡十分重要的元素
如太執著於理性分析,表達就會流於表面,重形而忽視神
而現在這大製作的小動畫引起了絕大多數人的共鳴,這是有目共睹的
你最後提出故事引申的意義其實值得探討與反思,但這好像不是前者"反過來諗下"的東西(?)

The girl is speaking Cantonese, language found in Hong Kong.
A very sad story, but good story, good music, good voice. Hope the boss here can think more...
Many lower class in Hong Kong are living poorly.

Amazing... the melancholy, the soundtrack, the animation, the way the voices were portrayed, the story... the sadness, the feeling of being lost in a endless road with no way out. 5 Stars and favourited. An authentic goosebump maker. Also, it somehow reminded me of Robot Carnival O.o
Also somehow reminded me of a game, with the missions or quests. Anyway, excelent!!

I live in HK, it's very sad to see that the city finally becomes such a sad place for its citizen. Only the privileged class are allowed to vote for their ideal leader as well as 50% of the seat in HK's parliament. The working hour becomes longer and longer. The wage is lower than the 1997 level yet the privileged class can enjoy all the GDP growth.

the beautiful piano music and the general melancholy of this film strongly reminds me of the "Cloud" segment of Robot Carnival. check it out if you havent... its a bit old, and in an unfamiliar anthology format, but Robot Carnival is damn good anime.
PS: if chinese language anime is always this good, consider me converted!! :)

exagerrate things a little from the truth.....c'mon mate life not always that bad....it's just my opinion dont take it seriously..anyway it's a nice story tho

It isn't that much of an exaggeration. My Chinese partner's father had three jobs simultaniously, and still had to steal to afford to pay the bills. Her Mother only had time to get 4 hours of sleep for six years solid. Everyday. Some people just seem to work themselves to death.

The style of the animation is interesting, but I don't like the story, Especially while the main character jump off the building. The POV of this is too self-orientated, very typical HK people's thought. The animation is just too far exaggerated to the reality and HK is not what you think.

so sad yet true how we lose things we like for things we have to do, realizing their importance only after they are gone...
other jumping from the building is like HR health policy: they want to see you alive because they want to see you work :)

Sad, sad commentary on modern life. As the economy continues its downward spiral, many people in the US will have to get used to this same kind of life, or end up homeless and hungry. So many lay offs mean that those who are 'lucky' enough NOT to be laid off will be doing not only their work, but also of a dozen or more who WERE laid off. Probably at reduced wages as well. It is getting VERY scary here, always waiting for the 'other shoe to drop'. And, it will get LOTS worse before (IF) better.

This shows the tireless effort of a normal day in the HK working class life. I reflects on how we should actually spend the day instead of being so exhausted and busy all day. However, parts of this is still here in HK. The people work too long and get tired.
Too much is going on in HK, we should slow dow our paces and relax once in a while.

Great Animation, purely made by creative & logical reflection on HK. Motivated me and inspired me to express my views on those issues. Thx so much for making this video. I hope it gets a great place in the Youtube film screening competition.

Work Is not Your living - it's ur earning to live.
It's Not everything in life
We shouldn't depend everything on just work or one person.
Cities are usually extreme bcuz in HK, many parents and people have to work long periods. There are still many families which earn very little & need lots of help bcuz they can't help themselves.
Families should be together more often than work, therefore the city environment would bring more Joy to HK.
The Work in This animation shows no hope in life :(

There are almost no more 9 to 5 in Hong Kong now. The working hours are very long. It's no good for the health of the staffs & the harmony of their families. & children has no adults to take care of. They only depands on the domestic helpers or grandparents. Some young people just fooling around outside with friends. It will become a burden to the society. Our Government should do something for it.
3muimui 3 years ago 11
Great comment, it really reflects the burden of the city which has been ruled by greed. Its not too late but we realli should persuade good reasons to stop these issues.
ACT NOW. don't procrastinate pls. hehe ^^
Moving On, I want to express what i think about the climate in HK. REALLI HOT & BAD, still Winter & ITS HOT.
DO WE NEED SO MANY LIGHTS IN THE MORNING OR AT NIGHT????!
DO WE NEED SO MANY AIRCONS WHEN WE HAVE WINDOWS?
DO WE NEED SO MANY CARS WHEN WE HAVE BUSSES??
O thx for concerns

Hi Jonathan,
Thank you!
I agree with what you said & had discussed with our noble councilors. But I found it's no use. They only spend their time on some things they think it's worthwhile.
That's why so many moms quit their jobs to look after their children. It's a loss to our society.
About the lights, I think you will agree with me that some places (e.g. Causeway Bay) are brighter than the daytime even all shops are closed after midnight. :(
