The Last Train Home

The Last Train Home is a Chinese film. About a mom and a dad going home to visit their mother and children for the Chinese New Year. Which is one of the biggest human migrations in the world. The reason they live away from their children is so the kids can go to school and get an education while the parents work full time.

This film follows this lower class family and brings to light the struggles they go through just to see their kids and keep them in school. But the daughter doesn't like that, she doesn't like her parents anymore and goes against their wishes and quits school and gets a job. Everything their parents didn't want, everything they were working for went down the drain. The Daughter becomes shunned by the family.

The working conditions are very poor. And the jobs they had were sewing clothing for Americans, and things of that nature. So they are very different jobs and working conditions then here, in America.

This movie showed how crazy and crowded it gets on Chinese New Year. They parents barely got tickets to go see their children for a few days. They had to wait for days to finally get tickets, and when they got on the train it was overly crowded and they could barely find a place to store their luggage
