Delayed figurative thoughts
Barton 2022-04-20 09:02:34
Wong Kar-wai is good at magnifying, exaggerating and figuring out the subtle but unignorable emotions that have been fluctuating people's hearts and even constitute the tone of life. These cicada-shaped small thoughts are the nutrients that stay in our hearts, and they are also the last fortress that prevents us from being washed away by reality. He spread it out, performed it at a slow pace, and slowly, the fireworks of the world rose in the psychedelic, let us be patient and calm, and at the moment we were about to escape, we were hooked back by the misty music. Thoughtless, light yet full of presence. He constructs a realistic utopia in our fast-paced way of life with a gentle gesture, supplemented by brilliance, and whispers softly in your ear: the more depraved, the happier, everyone is crazy.

He Zhiwu: I was very talkative when I was small. But at age five, I ate a can of pineapple that had expired, and I stopped talking. For that reason, I have very few friends.
He Zhiwu: I found it very hard to find work too. I finally decided to be my own boss. Having no capital, the only thing I can do is sneak into other people's shops after hours and run my own business. I'm not a freeloader. I just think it makes sense, since the rent's already been paid, to run the business around the clock.
He Zhiwu: Who says nobody buys pork at 3:00 a.m.? I came yesterday to buy some, didn't I? If you want to do business, you have to take each customer's needs into account.
He Zhiwu: Buddha said, "If I don't descend into hell, who will?" When you're the boss, you have to be kind, caring and tolerant. You can't just look to your own gain. I know very well there's no such thing as a free lunch, so I always work very hard until the wee hours.
He Zhiwu: I don't make a lot of money, but I'm happy.

He Zhiwu: I love ice cream. When I was little, an ice cream truck would stop by my house every day. I was always happy to see it. Once I asked my dad why he didn't drive an ice cream truck. He didn't answer. I later found out my mother had been run over by an ice cream truck.
