Tremaine 2022-04-22 07:01:32



Kanji Watanabe, chief of the Citizens Section of the city government, is busy every day, but he is too busy. He does not know the meaning of his busyness. When a group of women united to the city government to apply for filling a stinky pool near the community and building a small park on top of it, the city government's procrastination and prevarication began to take off.
Watanabe suffers from stomach cancer and is helpless. His wife passed away early, and he pinned all his energy on his son, but the son only thought about the old man's pension and savings, and set up a small family. The indifference of morality and humanity pushed Watanabe to the edge of the cliff. He could only use alcohol to relieve his sorrows. Under the promotion of others, he realized that "the greed to enjoy life is a virtue." Investigate a kind of extremity - the open stretch of the way of life.
The earth was originally a shabby house, but in the thriving dance floor, Watanabe found his inner voice, and the ghost who originally stored the inner sorrow and mute quietly left, and while killing time with the resigned staff member Oda, Find your own value and meaning.
Oda's joke, nicknamed "The Mummy" for Watanabe, shows a kind of confused style or state in the past. The singer-like soul on the road has infected Watanabe, and when he is happy, he also delays as a confidant in the spiritual realm. The existence of an open and peaceful place that was originally a paradise should not be constricted between narrow bottlenecks, and the nickname of "Mummy" profoundly shows that the past cannot be traced.
Mayor Watanabe travels to the world after a five-month battle with the disease. In front of his coffin, everyone also played various roles, obliterating Watanabe's achievements in building a small park, and seeking the repeated results of the private ownership of Mount Fuji. Don't you see Watanabe begging for the loss of his heart and soul, don't you see Watanabe's self-torture who doesn't seek to become a king and hegemony but works hard for the people, and don't you see Watanabe's low-pitchedness, regardless of resentment and delay, seeking perfection?
The meaning of Watanabe's life is superimposed in a time of exhaustion. His existence is an anomaly and a vision in the floating life of duckweed. Even if life is full of thorns and is full of essential disharmony and strangeness, it is necessary to compose the heart song of moral idealism and carry out the energy of the beginning of life.
In the city government, which is sitting on the mountain, what exists is only social values ​​- the obliqueness and gathering of the prevarication style. As a lonely and wasted Leng Yu Jade, how should you keep the peace and honesty in your heart? The landscape is vertical and horizontal, satirizing that Dosi is the outer skin of Akira Kurosawa's films, but it can't contain Minghui, who is more steadfast, more tolerant and compassionate. Standing on the wall, treating others kindly, without hatred and anger can be said to be a solid fortress of the desire to live.
It is not his fault that he left the buddhas of the past, and the cold eyes he encountered while cultivating his mood in the establishment of the park was not his fault. All he hoped for was to rock on the swing frame and sing his favorite songs when the depression and snow came. . Life has been cramped, pushing him into a dead end, but hope and possession will never leave him.
Chen and Chen Xiangyin, desires have an end, but people's pursuits, people's good deeds, temptations, and other similarities are endless, buried by life's killing and slaughter, it is better than a pure land to cover up romance, even if the eyes are still stained with a bit of cowardice and kindness. haggard.
