simple happiness

The first time I knew about Tuscany was because of an article by Chen Danyan, "I would like to be a tree in Tuscany in the next life". So just like when I fell in love with Vienna because of Feng Jicai's "Vienna Emotions", Tuscany also deeply attracted me. Is this the power of words? But no amount of moving words can describe my mixed feelings when I see the breathless beauty of Tuscany and feel its irresistible charm.
I really can't write it. Just because it's so beautiful.

Such beauty is desirable, and I say it because Tuscany is romantically real, not the insecure emptiness of Provence. I can really feel the rows of sunflowers and petaled red roses under my feet as if the old house was right next to my house. I love the feeling of happiness within reach. Although Tuscany is far from me geographically.

The film also tells people not to be afraid of getting hurt. But people who have been injured are always more realistic than before.
For example, the heroine Frances has been in pain for a long time after being dumped by her husband and finally recovered. Seeing the relationship between a Polish boy and an Italian girl, she is always opposed and dissatisfied like a traditional parent. The boy said, I would die without her. Frances spit out these words calmly. You will not die. There was no light in her eyes, as if she was putting reality in front of the two young people, but they wouldn't understand. Frances was injured, and she didn't understand it before, but she still understands it now.
Yes, "I'll die without her", we all know that the vast majority of people don't actually do that. But I still believe that this kind of love exists. Others seem a little too romantic or too naive, but I believe there is.

"We don't have to live in pain all the time, leave the pain to the past, and there will be tomorrow's sunshine." Happiness is really very simple and specific, we just don't ask too much, brick by brick, carved iron The bed, the portrait on the railing, the freshly ripe olives, the astringent grapes, the fresh wildflowers under the courtyard wall... Whoever said this is not happiness, this is the happiness I want.

After a long time, I realized that what I yearn for is not only a fulfilling and busy work, but also a quiet and leisurely life. That kind of slow rhythm, Tuscany has it, Vienna has it, it's leisurely and tranquil, beautiful and comfortable, it needs to be accompanied by true love, don't think about all kinds of troubles, but can walk and see, talk and laugh, like that Beauty can only be experienced by oneself.
