The little boy Robin has come to the age of saying goodbye to his childhood, leaving the important friends who walked side by side during that time, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, and Mother Kangaroo. Robin was sent to a harsh boarding school by his parents, leaving his childhood memories in the old house.
Do we remember the moment when we made the journey from childhood to adulthood?
The adult world is not a good place, and Robin can't find a balance between family and work. Life almost drained him, sacrificing time with his family and starting to miss the childhood of his daughter Madeline.
Robin, who was forced to the crossroads of his life, gradually became estranged from his family. He has not laughed for many years, and his wife and daughter's eyes are full of disappointment.
Every child looks forward to bedside time, Madeline wants to hear the fairy tales of Treasure Island, but Robin reads the history of the Industrial Revolution. He thinks that those fairy tales only depict beautiful fairy tales and are vulnerable in the face of reality, and he forgets how happy the childlike world once made him.
When adult Robin and Pooh meet again, the unexpected huge contradiction is like an ice cube thrown into boiling water, instantly reducing the joy of meeting to freezing point. They are the most familiar strangers, with different eyes on the world. Pooh symbolizes the purity of Robin when he first met the world. Even if the world is completely different, don't forget the original intention.
Robin couldn't understand the simple and happy philosophy that Pooh insisted, the red balloon, sweet honey, the scenery outside the window, these things that made Pooh feel extremely happy are worthless in Robin's eyes.
He was irritable, anxious, impatient, and had long forgotten how to be happy. In his eyes, Pooh is just a bear with a small and clumsy head. It does not understand the operating rules of the real world and is out of tune with the cruel world.
Robin: "You're different, and people don't like different things."
Pooh: "So, shouldn't I be myself?"
When being different becomes a pejorative term and being the same as a winner, what should we do to defend our right to be ourselves?
Before he knew it, Robin became the type of person he hated the most. He doesn't share the values of bossy, aloof, snobbish leadership, but turns around and throws them at his family and friends, as if that's how he can maintain the illusion that life isn't going wrong.
Robin, who was tightly restrained by the pressure of reality, warned Madeline that there is no free lunch in the world, and that all dreams need to pay a price.
The child's clear eyes showed doubts and became dim. In order not to disappoint her father, Madeline tried her best to understand the truth that these two sentences were too heavy for her. If the cruelty of the adult world is prematurely involved in the childhood when it should be free to dream, will the child really be happy?
Pooh: "Can Madeline play with us?"
Robin: "No."
Pooh: "Why? Doesn't she like to play?"
Robin: "No, because she has homework to do."
Since when, liking has not been our original intention to do something, and it is not even qualified to be a reasonable reason.
There are rules of the game in the real world that adults cannot escape, but this does not mean that children need to be deprived of their right to dream. Those unrealistic fairy tales cannot help children win decent jobs, power and money as adults, but they give children priceless pure joy.
How short childhood is, we have become adults who can't do whatever we want. Therefore, I understand the preciousness of the joy of every young life when they start their journey of life. The initial power of life is a weapon that will not be maliciously knocked down after an adult. The boundless fantasy forest should belong to every child.
Useless things are precious. Those things that cannot be converted into worldly interests, such as lazy weekends with family, endless adventure games with friends, bedtime story time for children, they are "useless" in the real world, so they are precious .
Like the little red balloon that Pooh insisted on holding in his hand.
Robin: "You don't need balloons."
Pooh: "But it makes me happy."
Real needs come from within, not what others and the world think you need. If happiness can't be the reason for need, will our world still be warm?
Simple happiness is more needed in a complex world. We think that the ability to be happy has been worn away by life. In fact, it has always been there, and the happiness that is within our reach that has been ignored by us is just waiting for us to pick it up again.
Robin: "I'm lost."
Pooh: "But I found you."
Thank you for your kindness, I forgot about you, but you still treat me like before, helping me regain the energy to resist the malice of the world.
At the end of the story, Robin regained his lost original intention, re-examined the meaning of work and life, reconciled with his family, and watched the world side by side.
"Christopher Robin, what day is it?"
"It's today."
"Oh, my favourite day."
"Mine too, Pooh. mine too."
Enjoy every day, the only one in the world that belongs to you and cannot be repeated.
Don't forget the important things in life, our family, our friends, those who love us, those we love.
