In the opening chapter, the male protagonist smokes, goes downstairs, and starts a day's business. Although the cherry blossoms on the street are so beautiful, the old man Dejiang appears next, and she happily enjoys the surrounding scenery, trams, overpasses, happiness The family and the cherry blossoms swaying in the wind, all these things are very ordinary in the eyes of others, but they make her feel very happy.
This is a story that revolves around dorayaki. Although the male protagonist who is the manager does not like sweets, he makes dorayaki. Gradually changing the manager's life.
All of this was silently resisted by customers because of Dejiang's past and history of leprosy, and even the owner directly asked the store manager to drive Dejiang away. Under the pressure, the store manager finally said to Dejiang "it's here", and Dejiang felt this sensitively for a long time, and has not helped in the store since then. The manager and Wakana later went to see Dejiang, and at the same time they saw the same leper as Dejiang. In fact, from various details, it can be seen that this meeting was the last they saw.
Sure enough, when they watched Dejiang again, Dejiang had already passed away, and Dejiang left a recording. After listening to Dejiang's recording, the store manager began to walk out of his cage to accept the good life again.
Many Japanese movies are like this. The sound and picture are quiet and slow, the plot is flat and full of life, and all emotions are restrained and quiet. The manager went to see Dejiang for the first time and heard her say, "I'm going to be fine" bowed his head and choked up, and when Dejiang died, he shed silent tears after hearing the recording.
Our life is exactly like this. There are not so many ups and downs, and there are not so many emotions. Most of the time, it is just restraint and forbearance, and most of the pain is peacefully passed.
What the store manager said to Wakana was that he did not protect Dejiang himself. I never understood it until he saw the monologue after his first visit to Dejiang and the recording of Dejiang. The store manager had also experienced that kind of bondage. He lived a free life and was even bound by himself later. He had a personal experience of what happened to Dejiang, and Dejiang decided to go to the store manager's store, perhaps because he saw what he used to be in the store manager.
Dejiang was imprisoned by that ignorant era, and Wakana was bound by the surrounding environment. The one who imprisoned the store manager used to be the prison, but in the end it was himself. As Dejiang said at the end, each of us is born, sees, listens, and has our own meaning of existence. We should try to break free from our own cage, learn to let go, and truly feel the beauty of life. .
Everyone, smile when you eat something delicious!
