Lost & Love Must Respect Life

No Discrimination of wealth and poverty, Life, must be respect.

Why the innocent life in all over the world is beneath contempt?

Pope Francis felt the deep throbbing from the displaced girl while he called on Philippine at the beginning of 2015. When the girl asked why the innocent girl has been maltreated, forced prostitution, fed drug? Until then, Pope appealed to the world for the reason of children which is the gift of God, and all of the people don’t extinct the hope of children, and crying for the unfortunate children.

This is the ONLY hope that why Andy Lau will be one of the casts, and he said, as long as one person in the world has watched this film, and retrospect, protect their children, and stop to hurt children that will create the value of this film.

Social Theme Alive

Human traffickers make nearly 30 billion rmb a year. They not only steal kids from strangers, but also whom they are close with. Rumor has it that there were 10 kids went missing in the same neighborhood within a month in Shenzhen. Worse still, kids have also become to tool for coaxing their peers. Usually, kids are sold, while women are either sold or prostituted. Selling a kid or woman can make a profit of 50000 rmb.

There are 1.2 million kids being abducted every year worldwide. Assuming that China takes up 1/4 of the total amount, i.e., 300 thousand, we are looking at a 15 million rmb revenue, which means human traffickers altogether earn 30 billions per year.

The prompt reply from the team of Andy which showing interesting, at the same time, in reading the script.
