"What worries the elderly the most?"
"Reminiscences of his youth."
The young man asked this question when Street was camping with the youth of the cycling race. It can be said that everyone is afraid of aging, the decline of bodily functions, the aging of various organs, the plague of various chronic diseases, and can no longer do many things that should be done. Moreover, we have to face spiritual loneliness and spiritual torture...
Last year, I read Rachel Joy's best-selling novel, "A Pilgrimage Alone," about Harold's long journey: One morning, at the age of sixty-five, he received a letter from a twenty-year-old Meet my old friend Queenie. She had cancer and wrote goodbye. On the way Harold was sending a letter, he thought of his life from Queenie, passed one postbox after another, and went farther and farther. In the end, he went all the way from the far southwest of the UK to the far northeast. He spent 87 days and 627 miles across the whole of England. With only one belief: as long as he goes, the old friend will live! During this journey, Harold met many people and found himself.
Streeter in The Story of Mr. Streeter, like Harold in A Pilgrimage by One, is looking for himself.
As the saying goes: When people are old, they can't be calm, and they can't stop worrying about everything. They don't know when to wait, and they don't worry about everything. The elderly should also be positive and optimistic. In fact, it was this spirit that Street and Harold were looking for.
Just hitting the road is enough. Street was cared and cared for by many passers-by. When I finally got to my brother's house, "You drove this thing all the way to see me?"
"Yes."
——The camera is zoomed out, and the melodious music brings the brothers back to the time when they looked at the stars when they were children.
