Why the world is different from what we think

After watching "Yiyi" again and listening to the piano music at the end of the film, I felt that my whole life was over with these few hours. Yangyang in childhood, Tingting in youth, NJ in middle age, NJ's wife, first love girlfriend, younger brother, Yunyun, Xiaoyan, and finally became old mother-in-law, that's all.

After the mother-in-law was in a coma, NJ's wife was trying to wake up the old man by talking to her mother every day, and suddenly found that she was talking to her mother exactly the same every day. What to do in the morning, what to do in the afternoon, and what to do in the evening, all in a few minutes. Suddenly the whole person collapsed, "How come there are only so few. I feel like I'm working in vain. I'm like a fool every day, what am I doing every day?" As for me, what am I doing every day, ask yourself, what am I doing? Less can be said. Like a machine, it was implanted with some kind of password, and it went on and on again and again, no matter how tired I was, or how many times I crashed a day, these things didn't change at all, and the day went on like this. I think as a human being, the happiest way to leave is to leave in your sleep, to fall asleep, and never to wake up again.

It's like what NJ's company colleagues said, "Look at these years, I've worked so hard, I've worked so hard, I'm busy every day from morning to night, you know, I'm not happy at all." Not happy at all, not at all hapiness. "How can you be happy if you don't do what you like to do?"

Tingting asked her mother-in-law why the world was different from what we thought. It will never be possible to explain why the world is not what we think it is. When I heard NJ say to his first love girlfriend 30 years later, in fact, I never loved another person, I thought, 30 years, all the grievances, love, hate, all because of this sentence, are no longer important. I think all the women in the world are willing to come to this world just for this sentence. There is a man who has loved you so sincerely and regarded you as a treasure. I think, there is no regret.

From my youth to now, I think I have come to accept the fact that we are all ordinary people and nothing is perfect. What I once believed in can collapse in an instant, and people who once worshiped all came down from the altar. It turns out that there is no god in this world, they are all ordinary people, and everyone has shortcomings, but they can't see it, just like everyone. I can't see the back of my head, so everyone has been thinking about others and seeing things with their own thoughts, but it's only half of it. Nothing is perfect, and no one can satisfy everyone, including me, I am not an exception, there is no exception in this world. At first, I always thought I could be different from others. Really, I used to have such hypocritical thoughts. Now it seems wrong. I am no different. Now, though, it doesn't matter if it's the same or different, it's all the same.

That's it. NJ said to her wife, "I had a chance to be there while you were away, a time when I was young. I thought maybe if I lived again, maybe it would be different. It turned out...the same, no difference. I just suddenly felt that if I had to live again, it would seem like... there is really no need for that, there is really no need for that."

In fact, the final result of everyone is the same, they will become mother-in-law, no matter how gorgeous or bleak the process is. , In fact, everyone's ending is the same, playing various roles and rushing through these decades. I used to wonder why so many people lived so magnificently and magnificently when they were young or in their prime, but they all returned to their simplicity in their later years. There are not so many desires, and I no longer need those things that life does not bring and death does not bring, only a bed and a few mouthfuls of food are needed.

The process is actually the same. There is no difference between here and there. It doesn’t really make any difference who is with you. What you gain and what you lose will actually be returned in the end. If you can’t keep anything, everything will melt. For dust and smoke, the wind blows and disperses, and in the end they all return to nothingness. In the past, when I thought about nothingness, I was very frightened and always struggled. It was like sometimes I thought of two young classmates and colleagues who had left in the past two years. Just now, I thought of my classmates. It took a long time to delete his QQ number, but just now, I suddenly thought that his avatar will always be gray, and the number I deleted will never be added again.

When you think about it like this, you will inevitably fall into despair. Or I can look at it from a different angle. The things that I have been entangled and unwilling to put down in recent years have not changed in the slightest because of my entanglement. Some things have to go through. Whether you like it or not, the bloody plot will be staged at any time, not on TV. right on you. In fact, how you struggle, what you do, these are of little use. Although they may have very important symbolic meanings to you, even if you cry in shock, everything will become a thing of the past. People who have loved deeply, unforgettable friendship, things that can’t be picked up and put down will eventually pass. All we can do is to accept, accept love, accept hate, accept warmth, accept hurt, accept acceptable, and Accept what is unacceptable. As long as I have a clear conscience, I will work hard for what I want to do and I will not regret it, and the outcome is not something I can decide by myself. As long as I have experienced it, I will not wait until I have gray hair to feel that I have not experienced anything or done in my life, and that is enough, life is actually like this.

I really like the passage that Yangyang read to his mother-in-law at the end.

"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't like talking to you. It's just that I think I can tell you, you must have known it long ago, or you wouldn't call me "obedient" every time. Like they say You left, and you didn't tell me where you went. So I think, that must be a place we all know. Mother-in-law, there are too many things I don't know. So, do you know what I want to do in the future? I'm going to tell people things they don't know, and show them things they can't see. I think this must be fun every day. Maybe one day, I will find out where you have been. At that time, I will Can I tell everyone and ask everyone to come and see you together?"
"Mother-in-law, I miss you so much. Especially when I see that little cousin who doesn't have a name yet, I will think of you often telling me that you are old. I really want to tell him, I think, I'm getting old too."

Yi Yi: A One and a Two... quotes

  • Yang-Yang: I'm sorry, Grandma. It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to you. I think all the stuff I could tell you... You must already know. Otherwise, you wouldn't always tell me to 'Listen!' They all say you've gone away. But you didn't tell me where you went. I guess it's someplace you think I should know. But, Grandma, I know so little. Do you know what I want to do when I grow up? I want to tell people things they don't know. Show them stuff they haven't seen. It'll be so much fun. Perhaps one day... I'll find out where you've gone. If I do, can I tell everyone, and bring them to visit you? Grandma, I miss you. Especially when I see my newborn cousin who still doesn't have a name. He reminds me that you always said you felt old. I want to tell him that I feel I am old, too.

  • Yang-Yang: Daddy, you can't see what I see and I can't see what you see. So how can I know what you see?

    N.J.: Good question. I never thought of that. That's why we need a camera. Do you want one to play with?

    Yang-Yang: Daddy, can we only know half of the truth?

    N.J.: What? I don't get it

    Yang-Yang: I can only see what's in front, not what's behind. So I can only know half of the truth, right?
