"A Day in the Life"
is a documentary about ordinary people recording their real ordinary life, but it kept touching my tears.
July 24, 2010. On such an ordinary day, there are the most common things for mortals to get up, get dressed, eat, walk, talk and laugh, as well as the unavoidable joy of life and the sorrow of death. There are wars, there are dreams, there is attachment to family, there is anticipation and throbbing of love, some people travel around the world, some people are in bed, some people drive a Lamborghini, some people have no money, some people regard telephone headsets as a waste of time in the world A great way for someone to see communication tools as their soul sustenance.
People film themselves to show the world their day. Many of these stories touched me a lot.
A North Korean who traveled around the world on a bicycle for nine years and thirty-six days, visited 190 countries, was hit by cars six times, underwent five operations, and saw flies of different sizes. His greatest wish is The reunification of North and South Korea;
in the early morning in Japan, a father woke his son, dressed him and washed him, took him to incense his deceased mother, the child said good morning to his mother, and then helped his father to ring the bell and put out the candles;
a A scrawny patient with a British accent, lying on the hospital bed, said with a smile, "This is my first bowel movement recently." Soon, he said, he would recover and he would do crazy things and enjoy life;
a sick mother had to discuss her impending hospitalization with her young son, who could not help crying , he was afraid to see his mother sick. She asked her husband, what are you most afraid of? The husband said, "Now I am not afraid. I used to be afraid that you would get cancer, and you had it. I was afraid that you would relapse, and then you would relapse, but it was all over, so I am not afraid of anything." Tears loomed;
a father with fourteen children living in a shabby, narrow square, his wife died, he had to give up his job to care for his children, and a twenty-year-old insane "burden" son. But he said, we are still alive, God created us, and will not abandon his people.
What made me suddenly pursed my lips and couldn't help crying was the moment when I saw my father, who was holding a video camera in the delivery room to record the birth of the child, finally collapsed to the ground. And seeing the nurse hand over the baby in the swaddle tied with a bow to the father (this is really the best gift), and the father presents a bouquet of flowers to the wife, the family of three looks sweet and happy.
Another couple went on a date. The man pretended to have itchy legs and knelt down on one knee, while his girlfriend was distracted by the videotaped friend. When he turned around again, he saw a proposal ring, and he couldn't help screaming in surprise.
An old couple who have been married for 50 years held a wedding again. The old couple wrote vows for each other, which were warm and special. The last "Yes, we do." was tacit understanding and love.
What do
you have?
What do you love?
What do you fear?
Three questions have different answers, especially the last one: Some people are afraid of cats, afraid of dogs, afraid of monsters and ghosts, afraid of loneliness, afraid of losing loved ones, afraid of war, afraid of life being too short, afraid of this ordinary day Nothing extraordinary happened... But I know, and they also know that even if they are afraid, they still have to work hard to live every day in the future, because this is life.


"I want to drink the clearest water
I want to taste the best food
I know I'm just a man
but know I'm strong
I'm going to cross the most majestic mountains I'm
free to
go I know I'm just a man
but I'm strong"
