A few days ago, I watched Eternal and One Day with Shen Shen, who was five years younger than me.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist stands at the window and plays a tune, and the window covering the curtains on the opposite side will respond with the same tune.
After reading it, Shen Shen said that he especially wanted to know who the person behind the curtain was and why he didn't explain it. At the time, I was very puzzled by Shenshen's thoughts, and only later did I realize the age gap between us. When we were young, we were eager to find someone who could resonate with us, and we were eager to have a story with them. As you get older, you realize that it is difficult to find A person who fits perfectly with himself. Those searches were in vain. What's more, the male protagonist has reached his twilight years, and he can understand this better. Even if they are all listening to the same tune.
What he often does is put a piece of music next to the window and the other side, just taking this short time as a kind of fun. Indulge in the pleasures of this brief moment of solitude.
Just like in childhood, children always show off their toys, in fact, to get other people's attention. If they both like the toy, have fun together and share the joy.
But as we age, we all split into unrepeatable individuals. Unique, or it can be said to be different and incomplete, we suffer different traumas in different places and different times, and we also experience different happiness in different places and different times.
Happiness and sadness are hidden. The unwillingness to share with others is incomprehensible to others. Those actions of sharing are like Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the mountain in vain. Therefore, we are more willing to immerse ourselves in loneliness, maintain a superficial perfunctory with others, or isolate ourselves from the world.
