In fact, I am very afraid of facing aging and death, and I always feel that I am not old enough to discuss such things. But in recent years, this kind of thing has suddenly come close to me.
After returning home from graduation, I went to my grandparents' house every week. They would cook and eat together with my mother. Occasionally, they could not tell which granddaughter I was. My grandmother had something in her head but couldn't perform surgery. She also had Alzheimer's disease. Once she fell ill and walked all the way from Dawan Mountain. When she regained consciousness, she had already reached Yuelou'ao. Zhang Kejing's grandmother got lost and wanted to mobilize everyone to send a tracing notice. Our older generations have reached the age where they need to worry about their health and life day and night, and what we need to face is no longer as simple as school learning.
I didn't know what Alzheimer's symptoms actually are until the narrative of this movie made me understand that this life is like a horror movie.
As I watched it, I was thinking, what will my parents be like when they are old, I can't imagine our future life. Mom always hopes that I can afford to buy a house and live with me, but when will I have the financial strength to take her by my side? Can I really take care of her? After a long time, can I really be nice to her all the time? My lack of confidence in myself made me anxious about the future.
I also watched "When Breath Becomes Air" recently, which gave me a deeper understanding of death. On the one hand, I want to do anything that can improve myself, feel that I can live well, pursue a promising life, study hard, work hard in the future, earn money, and be a good lawyer, but Paul suddenly made me think, these Is it really that important? What is the meaning of life? What am I doing now, what can I get in the future? If I lose my life unexpectedly soon, what will I be left with, and will what I do now make sense? It's really hard to get into.
At the end of the movie, when an old man with gray hair cried and said that I wanted my mother, the tears could not stop flowing down. I feel as if I'm losing all my leaves. When my own life has lost all the leaves, I hope I still have warm memories to pick up and miss my mother.
