I think about this scene often. It's a bit on the nose, but I think some of it is especially relevant these days (it's from 2017):

"The minute we forget what we went through to get here is the minute it could all be taken away."

Shows how younger people don’t appreciate what older generations fought for.  Most (all?) of my great-grandmothers had bound feet.  Their daughters did not.  Their daughters also were able to choose their husbands.  Most of these great-grandmothers were either illiterate or barely literate.  Their daughters were able to attend school (though my paternal grandmother had her education disrupted due to war.  She was very ashamed of not finishing even elementary school).  My mom and my aunts have at least high school (I think they all have at least undergrad…or community college, anyway).  My female cousins and I all have at least one degree as well.
