That part of the nursing home in the movie made me cry. Every time I went to France over the years, I accompanied my boyfriend to visit his grandparents and grandmother. Every time I see them with a group of old men and women, some of them have Alzheimer's disease, some are in wheelchairs, watching TV in the lobby, it is very sad. I know it's their culture, and at his parents' age there's no way to take care of them full-time. It also makes me understand the feeling of Franck's grandmother in the movie not wanting to leave her garden, not wanting to leave her home.
Some time ago, I have been accompanying French customers to visit Beijing, Dongguan and Hong Kong. Asked if I lived with my parents, I explained it to them. As a traditional Chinese, I live with my parents now and in the future. Because when we were babies, when we were growing up, our parents gave so much. And I don't want to be alone at home or in a nursing home when they get old. I want to take care of them as they took care of me. I don't want to fake someone else's hand, because I know that even if you can afford the money, the most important thing for parents is to see their relatives every day, and someone to talk to them, even if they don't talk, it is extremely satisfying to watch.
My boyfriend's grandfather passed away last year, and we couldn't go back because of the long journey. When we returned to France this year, we heard that my grandmother had suffered a fall. Drive all the way to visit. The doctor said that he would be discharged from the hospital in a week, but he did not expect to receive the news of his death two days later. impermanence of life. I only kissed her on the cheek two days ago. Although she kissed me hard several times at the time, I never thought that she was going to leave us two days later.
Went to Lourdes and got holy water. Because my boyfriend's grandmother is a devout Catholic. While I don't believe holy water really does miracles, I think she'll get better soon after she drinks it, perhaps because of willpower. As a result, the result is still not in time.
Naturally, since the death of her boyfriend's grandfather, her grandmother often mentioned that she hoped God would pick her up. She was too old, but for relatives, she always hoped to see her often. As she wished, she followed her grandfather. This was my first funeral, and my first Catholic funeral. Although I didn't fully understand those ceremonies, and I didn't quite understand the eulogy, I couldn't help crying. I always thought that I could communicate with each other a few days ago, and said that I would be discharged from the hospital in a week, but now I am separated from yin and yang.
My boyfriend's grandparents have a nice house with a not-so-small garden with a huge cherry tree in the middle. And now it's all gone from them. Only those old photos were left, and we sighed while watching.
Franck's grandmother eventually returned to her home, her garden, sleeping in her favorite chair. But how many people are so lucky today?
I told my French clients that all I can do is take care of my parents, and I don't think about or ask for what will happen to my children when I get old. Because our generation is different, although we also want our family to be together, we don’t want to burden our children.
The love between Franck and Camille is like the love between me and my boyfriend. We keep testing, we try, we dare not make promises, we say leave, we say we stay together; we go further, we back down. As Franck said, pourquoi tu dis pas simplement:j'ai pas envie que tu partes?c'est si dur a dire,comme phrase? I remember picking up my luggage and looking for a hotel in an unfamiliar country after a quarrel, thinking of him searching all over the street I, want the happy moments to be together again.
Franck didn't leave in the end. He called Camille, who was still stubborn. When Franck appeared behind her, said menteuse in her ear, watched them hug, watch them kiss, what could be more touching than finding true love? !
