A life that can't move forward and you who can't grow up

Major 2022-10-15 04:35:22

An ordinary family: family life with three meals and four seasons, the relationship between old and new, far and near, such as a boat on the water, slowly drifting, but the bottom of the boat is surging, hiding everyone's obscurity and difficulties, and everyone is holding back and not. Let the boat capsize underwater and support the reluctance to live.

Time is the most tense existence. If you look closely, every day is so similar. However, as long as you gently zoom in and get out of the familiar daily life, and temporarily become an outsider, we are always amazed that our life has changed. The original setting strayed too far, time was running, and you and your life were overwhelmed.

1. Opening: The gloom and unease of the storm

A lot of people who look at him are an old man who spends his time in a hurry. He thinks very highly of himself and doesn't want to write brainless comics to make money, but he goes home like a mouse to steal valuables left by his late father. He complained that his mother only brought out shabby handmade ice cream, but he tricked the clerk into discounting his son's favorite sneakers. The whole narrative about life in the first half is depressing, with a lot of depravity, numbness, and no change after repeated teachings, very much like the kind of life I fear most in my own subconscious mind. When I was young, I always thought that my future was shining, so people miss childhood and youth, even if those years were not beautiful, but because everything has not happened yet, that piece of blank space that can be imagined gives hope...

2. Climax: Typhoon Entry Hundred Ghosts Night Walk

Trapped in my mother's house, with the thunder and lightning outside the window, in the room is the warm and awkward dinner time of three generations: my mother's matchmaking, a lot of restlessness, and my wife's awkwardness. Many are naive. He doesn't seem to understand why his wife is so determined, trying to save what he doesn't want to let go in a childlike manner. Unfortunately, life won't let him go because of this attitude, after all. You teach yourself how life treats you. It is even conceivable that the ex-wife must have argued with him too many times and finally realized that the theory is completely unreasonable, just like someone who can't wake up and pretend to be asleep, so she basically avoids a lot of questions and emotions. Said, has been emphasizing only money. Many are the fathers of her sons and her former family members, but for her, they are already a person who lives in the past through and through.

3. Ending: The typhoon passes through the rain and the sky clears

It seems that it is worthwhile to have such a warm and lovely night in our life, but the reality happens all the time, every difficult moment is always endless, this meager and ethereal light is not enough to illuminate life at all . But no matter what, we still have to live for those blips, or live with the expectation of those blips, even if you have never loved anyone deeper than the sea.
