People with unhappy childhoods may understand this film

I am also a person who grew up under a lot of pressure in childhood. Like the heroine, I have an old-fashioned and unreasonable father, so when I first saw the heroine get slapped by her father, I felt very sad. At that time, I was still in high school and lived under the pressure of my family. When I saw this scene while eating, I suddenly burst into tears, and my parents were very puzzled.
Although there are many unhappy things in childhood, but after all, I came here with my family, and there is still warmth in the bitterness. But now in my life and work, the pain I experienced as a child has become a psychological forbidden zone. When I touch it with external pressure, it will cause me a great reaction. Maybe this is the sadness of those who have been traumatized.
For example, a colleague at work had a tumor and was forced to do heavy work by her colleague. She didn't resist. Although it had nothing to do with my interests, I volunteered to play her role as a protector because my mother was seriously ill when I was a child, but still She retired normally in one year and procrastinated in the workshop, but her colleagues did not believe her and asked her to do heavy work, and said that she looked just like a normal person, did she pretend to be sick, and heard my mother crying in the middle of the night. If I was not a child at that time, but at this age, I would probably have stood up and scolded my mother's colleagues, but now I can only silently help my colleagues, because my mother has died of illness for a long time.
And Taeko is different from me. She regards psychological trauma as the driving force for growth and the courage to live, instead of licking the wound like me, hesitating for fear of being hurt, and looking at everything with a skeptical eye. Maybe someone who was hurt as a child or who saw a parent hurt can understand.
So this film is worth watching again and again. Whenever I lose my confidence in life, or recall the little things that hurt my heart, I think about how Taeko treats the past open-mindedly and turns pain into motivation, and I will have the courage to persevere.
Not everyone can break out of the cocoon, maybe the cocoon is too thick, maybe their own strength is too small, but at least this film opens a window for people with a dark heart like me to hit the only soft part in the center- ——Childhood memories, open a thorny road that can move forward.
