【Synopsis】
"To Live" tells how people endure immense suffering; it tells of the breadth and richness of tears; it tells of the non-existence of despair; it tells that people live for the sake of living itself, not for anything beyond living.
This is a friendship between a person and his destiny, this is the most touching friendship, because they are grateful to each other, but also hate each other; neither of them can abandon the other, and neither has any reason to complain about the other.
They walk together on dusty roads when alive, and turn into rain and mud together when dead.
