About values, one day I answered this question. You said, do you have values? I said, I don't, I don't care about democracy, freedom, and lively news. Later I think, what are the values?
Believe in love, the eternal pursuit of love, persistence in life, and even life, until one day, life will cover you, like a white cloth covering the stool you are familiar with.
When a drama ends , I am not in a hurry to express an opinion, not even to say a word; I do not condemn its flaws; when my children seem to live
humbly, and even die with me, I remain silent, not to collapse in an instant, to despair.
Silence. When relatives leave..."
"I made up my mind that when you come back, we will go on a trip this Spring Festival. Because we have never traveled before, but that's not the reason.
Go where you want to go. We don't argue. ;We reduce our quarrels--from the first three days, we can once a week.
I don't compliment another woman on the trip, and I don't peek at their faces, although they are younger than us, and they are beautiful and attractive; although you The corners of their eyes may not be as lustrous as theirs, and they have proud breasts—
but they are just someone else, someone else’s daughter, someone else’s lover, someone else’s wife, even someone else’s lover; and we are lifelong companions.
—I know very well . All this will also be told to our children and to our father, our mother."
"Dear Nikolai, I don't really want to write this letter to you. Your mother is dead, she died in a dream. "
Dear wife, I want you -- and our children, even our fathers, our mothers, our younger brothers and their lovers and their children, to come and see this movie and what's in it. LIFE - BRILLIANT LIFE."
It's not literary, it's better than any of the best movies I've ever mentioned before. It is not art, it is not for the withdrawn; it is not jerky, it is not out of reach.
But it's not just a movie, it's a long and complete life.
Although it talks about ideals and studies, talks about progress;
talks about love, talks about travel, talks about politics, talks about rebellion, talks about separation;
talks about sickness, talks about terror, talks about death;
talks about marriage, talks about Giving birth, talking about father and mother passing away one after another, talking about children growing up, falling in love, getting married;
talking about living brothers getting old one by one, talking about time passing by, people approaching the end of life day by day;
Speaking of impulse, speaking of anger, speaking of resistance, speaking of repentance, speaking of keeping secrets, speaking of reunion...
But these are not all, but they are all indispensable.
This is a person's life, regardless of joys or sorrows, it can be called "splendid life".
Kind and righteous people, I have a final question for you:
Years later, when his brother and his wife are gone, he and his brother's lover become lovers and will spend the rest of their lives together - what do you think of them? unethical? despicable? perfidious?
