Heartbroken Whispers and Cruel Straightforwardness

I quite like this way of narration, it's so gorgeous and beautiful, but it's a thorny mockery. No matter how much you love, how much you miss, how you can't leave, you will eventually become unfamiliar and unfamiliar in the endless waiting, in the unreachable distance, in the bitter loneliness. I don't know how to face it. We always expect a platonic relationship, but the hugs and intimacy that can only rely on self-imagination are nothing compared to the physical reach. Passion and attachment will eventually be wiped out by the passage of time. All we have are memories. In fact, this movie is not romantic at all, and the director didn't want to make Xiaoqingxing, it's obviously pathetic.

Jacob: I don't feel like I'm part of your life. I feel like I'm on vacation.

Anna: [on the phone with Jacob] I just have to say one thing and it's really important that you just listen to me. I just... It doesn't feel like this, this thing is gonna go away, it's always there. I can't... I can't get on with my life.
