What a familiar melody, lingering in my childhood ears, I never need to think about it, and I will never forget it.

Some melodies do not need the embellishment of lyrics. They are soft and poignant, calm and melodious, as if pulling back to childhood. Whenever I recall this melody, it seems that I can't remember the bits and pieces at that time, and when this melody sounded, I found out, oh! It has never been forgotten.

I remember watching "City in the Sky" when I was very young, and I have almost forgotten the storyline, but I still have some memories of its soundtrack. For many years after that, this melody sounded in my ears from time to time. Until the beginning of the year, Zhang Xinzhe sang it in Chinese with lyrics, and suddenly realized that this is the melody that has been lingering in my ears for many years. Last weekend, a concert made this familiar melody sound again, and the feeling of the scene was even more intriguing. Close your eyes and listen, intoxicated in this pure music without lyrics, and the Laputa in the childhood sky is slowing down with the music. Slowly drifting...

This is a Japanese animated film from the 1980s. After many years, I can still watch it again. It can still bring moving. There are always encounters in Hayao Miyazaki's films, fairytale encounters, two pure hearts intertwined, they take risks together, face each other, and they find a common goal, Laputa. And Laputa is like a holy place that can never be reached. Such a holy place contains huge wealth and advanced technology. At the end of the film, in order to prevent the bad guys from possessing this crystallization of wisdom and technology, the two interlaced their fingers and resolutely said the curse of destruction. This huge flying island began to collapse in an instant, like an ancient civilization that has not yet been discovered. has become a legend. And the only remaining huge ancient tree on the island, with a little bit of land remaining, slowly rises to the top of the clouds and wind, maybe the ancient tree and the remaining land are like the last piece of pure land in this world, no one Bear the heart to destroy, and it also symbolizes the friendship between Balu and Shida, which is always sincere and pure. At this time, the familiar music sounded, and I suddenly realized that a good soundtrack is like the finishing touch of a movie, and Hisaishi and Miyazaki perfectly explained this point.

When I look at the sky
, how many dreams are in the distance
, every cloud is so serene
with peace and sadness
I love looking at the sky and thinking
where is the road ahead,
against the cold wind, against the light
Going to the future and hoping that
everyone has a city in the sky
where there is all freedom, all peace, all beauty
