Brooklyn and was struck by this line.
The same girl was born in a small town. She graduated from a third-rate university that year, and once considered going back to the small town to become a middle school teacher. After that, she worked hard in the so-called big city for many years. When she was exhausted and hesitant when she encountered a work bottleneck in the previous two years, she once again moved. The idea of going back to the town, thinking that there is a mother there, a stable job, and maybe a decent man.
However, it's all just speculation. To this day, he still lives in a camp in the huge city. Sometimes happy, sometimes
sad ; sometimes firm, sometimes hesitant. Occasionally I think of the town where I grew up, although all the warmth and beauty flash back in my mind, I can't go back in the end.
Why is this happening? It seems that I never went to the bottom of the reason, but when I accidentally chatted with my younger brother born in the 90s who chose to take root in a small town, I quoted the idol Chen Wenqian's phrase "I am afraid of a small pattern in life".
When I saw Alice saying "I'd forgotten what the town is like" to the representative of the town's three aunts and six grandmothers in "Brooklyn", I suddenly understood. Isn't this the root cause of my disgust and disgust? ?
The town is too small, and you can greet acquaintances on the street from Dongguan all the way to Ximen. Some people claim to have watched me grow up, some people say to me, who is in my early 30s, "Yeah, I've grown so tall", and some people call me by my name for 30 years, but they haven't called me right once. And the question most people have to ask is, are you married? At this time, I usually think of Tao Jingying's description, and then secretly roll my eyes and snicker: Most of the three aunts and six grandmothers, who I may not even be able to name, are after the fake announcement. Are you married, why are you not married, you should get married? After you asked not to be too high, etc., etc., after some inexplicable suggestions, turned around and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Maybe, I met other acquaintances in the vegetable market, just after I wentssip and gossip about what I just met, and then hurried home to cook. Every time I see the old people around me living their whole lives in such an atmosphere, trying their best for the glory of others, I tell myself: stay away from this small town.
The town is beautiful and has a leisurely life. The poker game in the teahouse street by Binhe Road is in full swing day and night, the wedding party, the 100-day banquet, the housewarming and the birthday party, and all kinds of parties invited in various names, all of which end up playing poker as a boring ending to the unity of ten thousand books. I remember when I was just graduating from college and I was keen on class reunions. At a high school class reunion, a male classmate who graduated from college and returned to the town to get married and have children said loudly: This is how I will be in my life, and all my hopes are pinned on my son. . These scenes and words are still fresh in my memory. Every time I meet or think about it, I warn myself: stay away from this town.
In "Brooklyn", Alice experienced the baptism of a big city and returned to a small town in Ireland. When she lived the life she longed for as a child, she was infatuated for a time, until she met the mean proprietress of the shop who worked in the shop when she was young, and she suddenly realized , quickly bought a ticket back to the United States. For Alice, Brooklyn has become a hometown.
For me, the only difference from the movie is that it is not so much about not going back that it is about not going back. Because, the look of this small town, I have never forgotten.
