1. Because of eldest brother Chunping's special day, a large group of people gathered for two days and one night, eating and walking, trivial but true, ordinary but profound. There are many rebellious people, Qiannami who wants to move home, grandfather who is stubborn and strong, grandma who is virtuous and forbearing, Nobuo, the diligent son-in-law, and Yukari who cares about preparing pajamas. The characters are vivid and delicate; Children play and play, grandma's long-winded exhortations when parting, all kinds of life-like details are full of the whole film, very familiar and friendly, I think of the scene of a big family getting together in Chinese New Year.

2. The reserved room, the well-kept lilac tree; the grandfather often went to the beach alone to ask about his grandson's career ideals, and went to the beach with many and his grandson; the joy of grandma visiting the grave of the eldest son with the company of many, seeing the yellow butterfly out of control ; disgust for Fangxiong, obsession that can't be put down, longing that can't be forgotten

3. The rhythm of the whole film is slow, the plot is simple and plain, but it shows all aspects of life, growth and ideals, family and affection, companionship and care, parting and missing, calm down and taste slowly, evoke the memories in the bottom of my heart, and evoke the touch of a long absence , also decided to make some changes, at least starting with taking time to video chat with parents patiently

4. I keep walking on the road of life, why do I always take a beat? What's more scary is that this slow beat may not have the opportunity to catch up with the rest of the time.
