Midsummer now

The sky in Nanjing has reached 38 degrees, and if you walk outside, you will be melted in minutes. Because it was hard to resist the pressure and boredom of reality, I prepared a trip that I could just leave, and went to Jeju Island to play for a few weeks.

However, the summer journey is boring. The weather is very hot, and the travel process cannot be enjoyed because of the unfamiliarity and work anxiety. If you can get rid of that anxiety and stress well, then it will be like traveling at home, walking with this anxiety, no matter how far you go, you don’t seem to have taken half a step.

If the meaning of travel is not achieved, it is a failure.

Back to Nanjing in the heat of the heat, and then take a car to the old house with grandparents. In the afternoon when I just got home, the air conditioner is broken, the network is broken, sweating profusely, buying a cooling fan, repairing the network, and then going to the tax hall to pay the house deed tax, etc. I ran through a series of processes, and I hated these summer days even more. .

In the end, the air conditioner was not repaired. If you buy a new one, it will be installed within 3 days. I simply packed up the bedding and laid it on the floor in my grandparents' room.

When I was a child, there was no air conditioner in the room. Many difficult summers were made by laying the floor in the grandparents' room and everyone blowing the air conditioner together.

Drink some milk tea in the afternoon, open the movie, grandpa closed his eyes and turned on the TV, grandma packed up and went out to play cards. In a trance, I felt that it was like going back to elementary school and junior high school. Those summers were like this.

The beginning of the movie made it hard for me to watch it. I was used to satiating my appetite and attracting attention. I was not in the mood to do any work at the moment, so I just watched it slowly.

The black and fat little boy is always sullen and lives with his grandmother. Without a father, I always want to go out and find my mother in another city.

The kind-hearted neighbor aunt entrusted this arduous task to her husband, Takeshi Kitano. The uncle took the boy out with him. After spending all the money on the road, the two of them made trouble and went to the city.

It was only after seeing his mother that he found out that it had already had a new family. The beautiful mother in the photo is actually not because of work that she won't come to see him, but because she won't come to see him anymore.

The little boy cried, and the uncle comforted him. I grabbed the pendant and said it was an angel, and brought in a few strange uncles to perform together, in order to make the little boy happy.

Some grotesque, some parody, Japanese comedy style. But, it's really cute and simple.

I didn't know until the end, I always thought Kikujiro was a little boy, but I didn't expect this person to be an uncle.

A weird big kid, a boring little kid. After reading it, I was moved by pure feelings, and of course, this great sense of loneliness.

Summer is always a bit lonely, because it is stuffy and hot, there is nothing to do, and the head always likes to think.

This summer is my 24th summer. I still hold unrealistic fantasies. I feel the change in my original intention. I still want to pursue something, and I start to feel powerless to face reality.
