In the film "A Good Year", MAX, a financier living in London, learns one day that he has inherited his uncle's wine estate. However, once again set foot in the Shilok winery, the singing vines, the love encountered on the street, Mrs. DUFLOT's enthusiastic Rumba, and the sound of his uncle hitting the ball from the other side of the corridor... All these aroused his feelings about the dullness. yearning for a romantic life. On the one hand, there are high-rise buildings in the United Kingdom, which are proud of the spring breeze and compete for money and power; Which one is more important? For a while, MAX was unable to balance.
Even if you have never lived in such a land as a child, you who are tired of running in a big city must yearn for an ideal paradise: there is no smell of human flesh and money, no smog, high housing prices and waste oil, no subway. The crowds of Wuyangyang and the bright lights after the night, some are just the ground under the feet, the blue sky above, the cheerful river, the sun scatters mottled marks, and the smell of red wine lingers on the lips and teeth. Of course, there is also an ideal lover who will wake you up every bright morning with his soft whispers.
Use every drop of hard sweat to irrigate sweet fruits; on every starry night, embrace your lover and fall asleep.
From Tao Yuanming's dreamland, to Thoreau's Walden Pond, to Streland abandoning his wife and living in seclusion in sparsely populated Tahiti. In fact, "escape from Beishangguang" is not a word from the beginning of modern times. The ideal peach blossom garden is the desire of people all over the world since ancient times.
In a society with highly developed social media, it is difficult for us to separate from modern civilization. Although I thought about it countless times, I knew that the paradise in my dream would never go back.
MAX gave up the securities business, but his life would not be too bad, because the vineyard left by Uncle HUNRY is a treasure in itself, and the wine it produces is not cheap at all.
There are beautiful lavenders in the manor, and scorpions are rampant; the vines can sing and cut people's hands. If you want to return to a simple life, you must first see the ups and downs of the world with the naked eye. Although the wine is beautiful, the process of making wine, who can appreciate the taste.
In an ideal life, there is a "moon", and of course "sixpence". "I have been ridiculed for singing to the vines all my life. I said that one day the vines will also sing to me." DUFLOT's singing sounded from behind, and what I heard from it was a kind of tragic power .
