"Reverse Life" scored 6.9 on Douban, and the real-time box office on the third night of its official release barely exceeded 200 million, being suppressed by the animated film "White Snake: Floating Life" released at the same time.

Many people have resisted the film since the trailer and poster were released. Many people initially thought that this film was just another "Dying to Survive" and that Xu Zheng had created it to attract attention. In fact, after watching the film, many people felt that it was definitely a film with a score of 7 or even 7.5. Xu Zheng's control over the entire film process was textbook-level, and it was a very smooth and neat commercial film.

As for the part that everyone hated and complained about in the beginning, it was that the film used the delivery guys at the bottom of society to sell suffering, glorify suffering, and praise suffering, but in fact, the movie is not about the suffering of the delivery guys at all. The actual focus is on the midlife crisis and the fragility of the middle class. There are still many thought-provoking contents in it, which may be really heavy for everyone now, but when we look back at it ten years later, maybe this is a treasure that we have lost.
