Violet lost both arms and the most important person in his life when he was about to usher in the dawn of peace after the cruelty of years of war.
"You have to live, live freely - I really, love you..."
——Major Gilbert left his last words and disappeared in the explosion.
She wanted to know why the person who adopted her, taught her, and regarded her as his own, would say such things to her.
Or, on the sidelines, we will feel incredible - love, just love, what can't be understood.
However, Violet, who was raised as a tool, lacks the emotional mechanism of a normal person, and lives like an emotionless war machine. The so-called "love" is something she cannot understand.
It's just that when she heard this sentence, what was the complicated feeling in her chest that made her unable to let go for a long time.
So, she embarked on a journey to find the answer.
In that time and space, the war caused many people to be separated from their relatives and friends, and they urgently needed a way to help them contact those they cared about. Therefore, in that era before the popularization of radio waves, letters became the most common among people. communication tools.
There are not many people who can read, and the "automatic handwriting puppet" came into being - in the post office, to help those who need ghostwriting, write the text they want to write.
The so-called ghostwriting is not just a guest statement or puppet record, but requires puppets to understand the guests, read the real emotions in their words, polish such emotions, and finally record them in words.
Listening and empathy - this is definitely not the right job for Violet, who lives like a robot.
But she became interested in the job after overhearing a letter about "love" from a client by chance.
Perhaps becoming a doll would make her understand the "love" of the major.
As a result, Violet became an "automatic memoir doll".
The story unfolds against this background. From her perspective, she tells us several stories about family, friendship and love.
Similar to "Letter Bee", "Violet's Evergarden" also uses "letter" as a carrier to tell people's simple and touching stories.
"Faith" is something full of emotion.
Embracing the thoughts or expectations of someone, choosing words and sentences, arranging rhetoric, and finally writing down, emotional essays flow naturally, trickling into the distance.
In the letters, those who do not have the prudence that can be spoken face to face easily break through the barrier of the mind and easily expose their hearts.
Word by word, bit by bit.
That thin paper carries so deep.
When I was in middle and high school, it was popular to make pen pals.
Through the radio, I met a few pen pals, and through letters, I slowly established contacts.
In the face of people you have never met, it seems that you can pour out all your thoughts.
At that sensitive age, he was full of compassion and despair for the world around him.
About friends, about family, about the world, about the future, we exchange all the secrets.
In the past, cars, horses, and mail were slow.
This back and forth often takes ten days and a half months.
long wait.
However, every time I turned to a letter with my name on it at the mail collection point at the school gate, it was always like receiving a gift, full of surprises.
That's true, the expectation of an emotional return.
When he was young, he had a deep estrangement with his father and had a strong hatred for him.
I used to write one after another of my dissatisfaction and complaints against my father one night after another because of my parents' quarrel.
At that age, I had the deepest incomprehension of adults.
However, those letters were never sent.
One by one, write and tear, tear and write.
So my father and I did not reconcile in the end.
Looking back now, if I could have put those letters in his hands, would everything have been different.
However I have no way of knowing.
We still live like the most familiar strangers in the world.
Now, apart from cards, I haven't written anything about specific objects for a long, long time.
In today's increasingly convenient instant communication, correspondence has become a literary and quaint behavior.
How long has it been since you wrote a letter by hand?
How much pristine innocence have we lost?
Despite the end of the story, we still don't know if the Major is still alive.
However, that is no longer important. Violet finally found the meaning of his life between losing and gaining.
In a story, in a letter.
Gradually understand the feelings of human beings, and quietly convey "love".
