Our world will no longer be the world we came from.
Maybe I have no way to let myself leave the big city of Beijing. From work to love, there are several relationships that are most closely connected to me in this world. Leaving Beijing and choosing to be reborn are the same thing.
I am the kind of person who lives on the tail of the trend of the times, has not been submerged by the sea, and sees the direction of the trend, but can't catch up no matter what. Seeing that things around me are changing with each passing day, and I haven't grown up yet, it is difficult to break through the jacket that binds me outside.
"Honeyland" depicts people who are forgotten by the tide, sometimes they are a group of people, here, she is alone. In the cliffs and the cracks in the walls, she and her bees live like wild animals. The world is ever-changing, but even a trace of neon has nothing to do with her. On a cold winter night, candlelight illuminated her and her mother's faces. Organic and natural honey was a gift from God, and bananas that didn't need to be bitten were the delicacy she could bring back to her mother from town. Before I saw her story, the word lingding was just a self-sigh in the verse. Now I know that some people live like this.
The appearance of the neighbors turned the documentary into a feature film, and the storytelling developed. This is a dialogue between tradition and modernity, choosing to respect nature or think that human beings are supreme. In the face of interests, what choices will we make?
The answer is obvious, we choose to live better. We choose richer material, more extreme intelligence, and a larger family... It is based on this choice that we think that we are the masters of this world and can transform this world, no matter how this behavior will affect other species. It doesn't matter what kind of catastrophe comes. We are parasitic beasts, relying on the earth to die together.
Everyone probably has such a moment in their hearts, imagining a life like the heroine, living in a secluded world, close to nature. However, no one wants to die alone, and neither does the heroine. She regarded the neighbor's child who had followed the experience of "take half, keep half" as her own child, thinking about it, the feeling of vitality brought by the child is like those mountains and trees, like the buzzing of bees, in the desolate desert. European villages are loud and warm.
