Ladybug and sincerity

Under the Tuscan Sun is one of my favorite books. I bought the old edition in 2010, but I was looking for it for a long time but found it in Tianyi Bookstore by accident. The book buying process has an added surprise.
In the book, the American female writer Francis bought a 300-year-old house in a distant Europe, built a fence, renovated the old house, tasted delicious food, and made good friends. She recorded every bit of life in her blue notebook, and finally organized and published it, which became a bestseller.
The movie of the same name, I have seen it twice, and today is the third time. Although the adaptation is large, the theme is clear.
In the movie, Francis is a poor woman who was abandoned by her husband and lost her home. Get an air ticket from a friend to travel to Tuscany, buy an old local house and start a new life.

The actress's acting skills are excellent. I saw what it means to live in sadness, and what it means to be like stagnant water. It's like everyone who has lost love, and it's like seeing who they used to be.
Abandoned by love, helpless.
Indeed, there will also be a few good men in life, which will rekindle hope in her life. But this faint ray of hope is always fleeting. Soon, I was overwhelmed by loneliness and sadness again.

In the movie, Francis has an Italian friend who likes hats. The lady in the hat told her that when she was a little girl, she once searched for ladybugs in the garden, but failed all morning. Climb on yourself.
Looking for new love, she is tired. At the end of the film, Francis is taking a nap in his garden, but when a loved one passes by, he helps her catch the ladybug on her arm.
Sometimes, what you've been looking for just falls from the sky inadvertently.

The painful regeneration process is also difficult to think about at the moment, but fortunately, as the lawyer in the title said, one day you will be happy again.
On the road, there is always pain, but time is always the best and most faithful partner.
One day, no matter how sad people will be, they will be happy again. There is always such a person who will walk into your life inadvertently, and will never leave.


I think of the couple I met today, the wife in her early thirties complaining about life and her husband all the way. In the end, the husband could only helplessly respond: Stop talking.
It's hard to imagine myself ten years from now, but I don't want to be so engulfed by life.
I wish love lasts forever and friendship lasts forever. I hope to always work with enthusiasm and anticipation, and to be full and happy every day.
Even as time goes by, there is always an original sincerity.

As Ms. Hat said, life will experience many accidents and human feelings, and life will be meaningful if you keep your pure yearning.
There are too many hardships on the road of life, and a childlike innocence is our most precious, the most beautiful, and our last hope.
I hope to see it ten years later, I can still have the mood I wrote at this time. When I look back, I am still my original self.
Full of hope and full of love.
