In his new work "Ancient Furnace", Jia Pingwa used the four seasons as the title of six chapters, starting with the "Winter" section and ending with the "Spring" section after a year of reincarnation. With every touch of his pen, he recorded the dusty memories that remained in his mind, wiped away the dusty time, and then saw the light again.

It takes courage to read this book at such a time. Spring is easy to be restless, and if you can't calm down, you will live up to every square word in this vast sea. The rain of spring has come, and this time it is not the appearance of Vientiane renewal, but the taste of old-fashioned autumn. I know it's the mood. Looking at the only flower blooming on the peach tree at the moment, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, a little funny - that peach blossom buddy is too impatient. So I told myself that it was time to settle down. There will be no more free time.

between reading. Saw "Our Lives" yesterday, and tonight is "Another Year" by Mike Lee. It also takes courage to watch such films, to accept their indifference and dullness, and to breathe their pain and sorrow. But I know that after such a journey, I will gain three cups and two cups of insight. As if the old man's call, the spring breeze is blowing, in one sentence. About time, about life, that's how it is. You don't have to panic.

In "Another Year", Mike Lee also tells his time story in four subsections, spring, summer, autumn and winter. At some moments, seeing in the light and shadow, the old man washed by time, the woman deceived by life, will feel that the director is too indifferent, inevitably cruel. But in the end, I can still feel the deep feelings of the director in the meantime. Such a bland and cruel expression is his insight into time and life, and the sophistication that flows out. Life is not to reward or punish the common people with great joy and great sorrow. He uses a little bit of running water and a gust of wind and sand to corrode the skin and bones, giving birth to old age, sickness and death, and then the spring, summer, autumn and winter pass, and another spring.

Pingwa and Mike Li are all from the perspective of their own age to express their inner dust. world. Or, to find a reason to accept it calmly for your upcoming destination. For this reason, their bravery will be admired, and they will be envied. Because not everyone has enough courage and reason to accept the death that has come to you. Dust to dust, dust to dust, young people will also come to this time of their old age. Their once was our present, and our future is their now. Although the method is different, the essence is the same. After all, there is no escape.

So, all you have to do is embrace the rest of your time, no matter how much or how little. You have to know how time has passed through your skin. Just like the old couple in the movie, sitting snuggly in the carport of the vegetable garden, watching the heavy rain pouring down outside, they were still drinking tea slowly.
