say goodbye to the past

Today I agreed to go to Harbour City with my friends to change a pair of jeans, and accompany her to the stadium by the way. She is going to watch Eason Chan's concert.

It's raining today and it's a lot colder. I was wearing shorts yesterday and I'm wearing knitted sweaters today. Didn't go to the dean's boring class in the morning, and he called.

After eating Maocai, I saw this movie on Weibo, so I clicked it to watch it, and a bland fantasy journey unfolded in front of me.

In fact, when I first watched it, I felt that the picture was very dull and the style of painting was a little immature. It was a bit irrelevant to the gimmick of Hayao Miyazaki, the producer who tempted me to watch this movie at the beginning, because compared with his exquisite style of painting, this movie was a little different. It was really mundane at first. The heroine is a very ordinary urban woman, just like the old leftover girl who is stationed in a big city today and doesn't like it very much, it doesn't seem to be attractive. However, when the story turned, she chose a ten-day vacation to go back to the countryside for a vacation, instead of going to other scenic spots like many people did. This may be the reason why the heroine can become the heroine of this story.

When I went to Fenghuang to play in April, tired and disappointed, I met a local elder sister in Fenghuang on the bus from Jishou to Fenghuang. Because she was nearly thirty, she was still alone as a aunt. Her parents called her from Beijing, where she had been staying for nine years. Back, continuous blind date. We chatted happily all the way, she suddenly asked me, why did you come to Phoenix? I was stunned for a moment, and then said, of course, to visit Shen Congwen's tomb. She said something that made me ponder. After I came back, I often sat in the store and looked at all kinds of tourists on the street, and watched their confused eyes wandering the streets. In fact, it was very strange what they came for. , what are you looking for here?

The answer varies from person to person. However, the memory of the movie unfolds from this. It turns out that the heroine is particularly longing for the countryside because she grew up in Tokyo, and the story may gradually spread out because of this.

The picture in the memory is of ink style. To be honest, I don't think the story is very interesting at the beginning. However, when it comes to this sentence, in the 41st year of the Showa era, the sisters each had their idols. I feel a little sad in my heart, maybe because of the memory of the past history, maybe it is a kind of admiration for Prince Zhaoming, maybe it is because the past has passed away, and we no longer have this kind of age division. I continued to look down.

I remember that year when I arrived in Weinan, a bright hair accessory was popular all over the streets and alleys. Today I think it is really a dead village, but at that time there was only one person with a tie on his head, and I was very envious. At that time, it was still pearly red There is a girl singing all over the streets and alleys of , that year, that year, I have stopped thinking about this for many years.

It's a bit like the little heroine. I suddenly wrote very well after the fifth grade. I still remember the essay I wrote about visiting the Yellow River. There is a sentence that seems to be the same color as the water and the sky. Because of this, I just switched I was immediately envied by many of my classmates because of this, and many naughty boys no longer bully a transfer girl with cynical words.


When the movie arrives when Hirota talks to the heroine, the picture is really beautiful. That pretty little boy, who played baseball very well, with light flaxen hair, stood in the sunset, his silhouette was stretched to a very long time, then he didn't move, just looked at Taeko silently, and finally, he mustered up the courage. Say: You, that, that, like, compare, what kind of weather do you prefer compared to sunny days and cloudy days? The little boy clenched his hands tightly by his side because he was nervous, his face was crimson, but he finally asked the girl he liked what he wanted to ask.

The boy's eyes were focused, and when Taeko said that it was cloudy, he was as excited as a baseball was caught. That kind of love may only be present at that age. Just because I saw the boy I liked wearing a sky blue basketball shirt, I felt that the whole sky turned blue because of this.

I waited for a long time at the entrance of the stairs just to see that the boy I liked was dripping with sweat and could hand him a bottle of mineral water after playing basketball. At that time, it happened to be the fifth grade.

When Taeko asked Minxiong how his math was, the scene was also very familiar. When I was in elementary school, I was not very good at mathematics. My mother was very depressed and muttered, what should I do in the future if I can't learn it so easily? It doesn't look good, what should I do next? Sitting in front of the small desk, I frowned so hard that I felt that life was really boring. In the second grade, the teacher asked me to memorize 26 English letters, but instead of reading the English pronunciation, it was the pinyin sound. One day on the playground, everyone took a piece of chalk and wrote the 26 letters by default. You can't write it in the wrong order. I felt in the playground that my life ended here, never to turn the page again, I'll never have a tomorrow. I don't know how I got home in the end, what happened to those letters. It seems that it is still not finished in the end, but there are only a few of us left. The teacher has no choice but to let us go home and continue to memorize it.

Seeing that the movie was released in 1991, I might have just been able to walk at that time, but Taeko has almost finished walking. I remember reading the reference book of the judicial examination, the author said in the preface that life is the same from generation to generation, and only when you realize the difference can you change it. It is true that no matter how different the way of life is, it is impossible to walk out of the common life trajectory of human beings. Twenty years have passed, and when I look back on it, my life has so much in common with Taeko that I can't help but feel horrified.

At the end of the story, Taeko finally recognized what he wanted, broke through the shackles of his own spirit, and chose the life he wanted, instead of obeying the choices of most people and living in obscurity in Tokyo. This may be to say goodbye to the cowardice of the past, to say goodbye to the self who dare not speak his true thoughts.

Taeko is such a girl. In the eyes of adults, she is very well-behaved. You don't have to worry too much. She can spend the time of growing up quietly and quietly, and she is an ordinary colleague who can be ignored by everyone in society. How many of us are quietly walking our own way of life along this trajectory?

At the end of the story, I saw the little classmates in the pictures surrounded her, and the fifth-grade Taeko watched her walk towards Minxiong silently beside her, and her eyes suddenly became wet. Moved and moved to tears.

I remember reading Yu Qing's novels during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. When we do something, we silently ask ourselves if we really think so in our hearts and really want to do it. Maybe it will be happier then.

There are so many ramblings, and there are still a lot of things I want to write down, but after thinking about it, I might as well keep it in my heart, I will watch this movie again.
