The origin of the film was Shu Xilin, the film's Mrs. Dejiang. I like her philosophical existence. I think I like this kind of movie, it is warm and healing, it is suitable for my working state surrounded by trivial things every day.

The picture of the film is particularly beautiful, telling the warm and sad story of Mrs. Dejiang and Dorayaki shop manager Chitaro. When the cherry blossoms fell, she waved her arms like a child and said goodbye to the leaves swaying in the wind. Bathed warmly in the sun shining between the petals.

She listened to the story of Douzi's travels, and she said, to treat the beans well, because they came all the way from the field. The beans are slowly and gently fermented in the pot after layers of processes, and the expected soul bean filling that is perfect for dorayaki is baked.

These deep feelings for every plant, tree and object, all kinds of pity and care, are Dejiang's grief. I like the warm pictures and the extremely poetic expression in the film. After watching the film, I was immersed in it for a long time. With the hurried pace of life, collecting these subtle poetic beauties will make us grow stronger.

Inadvertently, my memory was pulled back to growing peanuts in my grandmother's field when I was a child, and my grandmother digged a row of pits while loosening the soil. Let me scatter the peanuts in the basket one by one, then cover the soil for fertilization, water carefully, and take care of each peanut seedling.

We also always love to eat sweet potatoes, peanuts and bananas grown by my grandmother. Although they are small, they are very sweet. I still miss the simple and natural taste.

Haizi, who loves life, said that from tomorrow, he will be concerned about food and vegetables. I think my grandmother also loves life and loves this land. Sow seeds full of affection, and fruit full of love grows.

Reverence for the land, sincere gratitude to nature and grief for thousands of lives are our original aspirations to do things to the extreme.
