I have no time
to learn what I want to learn, I have no time to read the books I have at hand, I have no time to meet friends in the same city, I have no time to visit the scenic spots within an hour's drive... Cooking, wife, children, parents, stocks, life is so busy every day. Are you really that busy?

Husband and wife, brother, sister, father and daughter, mother and son, these are the closest words in terms of emotion and blood. You always watch them go to get off work, get out of school, and go to school every day, watch them cheer or complain, watch them come and go back and forth, you think there is nothing you don’t understand and need to communicate. Naturally someone will take the initiative to say it. Everyone is like this and everyone is fine.

NJ broke up because he didn't want to force himself to go along with his lover, but after many years, he found himself doing what his lover hoped. In this case, why did he break up in the first place? "When you weren't around, I had a chance to spend a period of time when I was young. I thought that if I lived again, maybe it would be different. The result... It's still the same, nothing different. It's just that I suddenly feel that I will live again. If it happens once, it seems... there is really no need for that, there is really no need for that."
Birth, old age, sickness, death, separation of love, reunion of hatred and resentment, not being able to seek, and the five yin flourishing, are the eight major sufferings in life that Buddhists say. In the whirling world, everything is suffering. The film begins with a wedding and ends with a funeral. A freshman has not yet experienced all the flavors of the world, and an old age with perfect merit and tranquility.
After going around in circles, Jane's wife said, "I think it's really not that complicated. How can it be that complicated?

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

  • Ota: Why are we afraid of the first time? Every day in life is a first time. Every morning is new. We never live the same day twice. We're never afraid of getting up every morning. Why?

  • 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.
