Are you happy?

Erya recommended watching this movie, she said she cried, and to be honest, I cried too after watching it. The family relationship seems to be a dead end for people floating outside. Unclear meaning.
I don't know where my next stop will be, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen, or some unnamed place, but there is no hometown on the roadmap, only the time when it is scheduled for the end of the year. The old man in the movie is an ordinary person full of simple emotions, just like our relatives, full of all kinds of problems, the older they get, the more and more they can't stand their words and deeds, and they are more and more lame Thoughts and thoughts, I always feel that the distance is getting farther and farther, and the communication is getting less and less. When I am silent most of the time, I am more and more accustomed to not expressing it, as if I am used to not being understood. Although there are more and more means of communication, mobile phones The more frequent the change, the more developed the network, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the elevator, every corner is spared, and there are more and more speechless times.
We are always entangled in countless trivial matters, we can't find our own scenery in this city where we live every day, and we always have to stubbornly believe that we must keep going step by step, and don't know if it's like deceiving ourselves Repeating a proposition "live elsewhere", many of us seem to have talked about it, and it seems that we don't need much sense of belonging, because the uncertainty of life may be infatuation, we are confident in our ability to live independently, we are used to eating Street stalls, like noisy parties, we are not afraid of buses that can crowd people, have enough patience to deal with congested roads, occasionally miss the sparse bus lines in our hometown, lazy conductors, and unhurried speed of getting on and off, But we all left from that small train station, without looking around or looking at ourselves, we came to a place where we have no relatives, and where we got to know our friends little by little. It is to please yourself while avoiding the important, so there is nothing wrong. When the reality cannot be changed, you can only be kind to yourself.
When the trembling old father traveled across the United States to see his children, he was full of enthusiasm, when the children were used to not being disturbed, especially this very important family member, who was also in daily life The family member who is about to disappear, because he is not in the same city, because he does not take care of your food and daily life, because he does not know your daily affairs, because you think he does not need to know, so if he asks, it will be so superfluous, He knows what else to do. When his family is wordy, he always asks the past like this, but he forgets that it is only out of concern, just out of the simplest and clearest concern. This comment is enough. This kind of love is We forgot.
We will still live tenaciously in a place that is not our hometown. We will always mention words like loneliness, but we will still believe that there is always a word called dream. I ask Erya, do you think you are happy now? In the movie The old man asked each of his children, "Are you happy", I also asked myself, I think it's okay, it's pretty good, I think I should be very happy to get such an answer, it turns out that we have always loved each other In the current life, although most of the time I don’t know it, I still have deep but never expressed feelings for my hometown and my family in my heart. I am still searching for my own value non-stop, looking for those who I don’t know how to express in my heart. Things, grow up a little bit in the process of crawling and rolling.
Still on the phone of my family, I am inexplicably tired of those nagging, still feel that they are unfounded, still careful to avoid those big or small imperfections that exist rigidly in life, still persisting silently, everything It is quietly changing, but it seems that nothing has changed. No matter how many places you have traveled, what kind of environment you have changed, people like it or not, they are still doing their own thing, and they are still trying to maintain the fearless courage that I don’t know where they came from. Facing all adversity and adversity with joy.
Maybe your family doesn't care what you have become, and will only ask "Are you happy". If you tell him "sure", he will smile happily. As long as you are happy, your family will still be very happy whether you are around or not. Thankfully, maybe when we answered this question, we didn’t know how to put the feelings in our hearts, but we still firmly believed that the current life was the right choice for us, and we continued to go through trials and tribulations persistently.
