NJ came to Japan, and his first love girlfriend who had been away for 20 years gave him a warm hug. In the next week, time seemed to go back in an instant. The two seemed to return to the days of their first love 20 years ago, holding hands and walking around the park and eating at the beach restaurant. , I remember everything in the past as I walked, there were laughter and tears, every minute and every second spent was filled with a beautiful taste, just like a sweet dream. Until the time passed, they realized that the dream was about to wake up. On the last night, they still slept in separate rooms. The fragility of the female instinct made the first love unable to accept the fact that everything would return to the status quo, and the emotions collapsed in vain. NJ holding her, give comfort, to leave her room last minute, NJ suddenly said to her:. "Arie, my life never loved another man"

NJ over middle age, the daughter of a country on a The son of elementary school, a wife who gave birth to him a daughter and a son, but on this evening, he said to a woman who had not seen each other in 20 years: "I have never loved another person in my life." This is A clichéd sentence, I believe that if I read Qiong Yao’s novels, the frequency of this sentence may not be low, but in Yang Dechang’s mouth, this sentence actually turned into a black hole, which instantly swallowed all the past time and these times. All of the flashy and pompous.

We should have thought about fairness. To the woman who gave birth to him two children and spent most of her life with him, she had never been loved by this man; we should also be sighing for the one who got his life. A woman who loves, such a woman can't enjoy the nourishment given by love; in the end we should have thought of disgust. Such a man should be a complete liar, deceiving two people who love him, and also deceived himself. How disgusting.

But no, what I felt at that moment was an unprovoked desolation spreading from the bottom of my heart. For wrong, right and wrong, there are all clouds at this moment. You will feel that life, life, people, these messy things, sometimes just like this, so complicated and so simple, so cruel and so simple. Some things are used for deep burial. Some words are used to say to a person, if the opportunity is missed, they can only be taken into the grave.

In the movie, first love sits alone at the window and shed tears all night, and leaves quietly the next morning. I believe it is what you and I expected, but NJ still knocks on her door in the morning. He obviously didn't realize his own. What did this sentence bring to a woman who loved him. It may be a wonderful feeling between endless loss and satisfaction, and in the face of reality and time, all this has turned into complete despair.

Many Taiwanese filmmakers who have worked with Yang Dechang call Yang Dechang a "prophet". I don't know if this is a respectful name for Mr. Yang after his death, but as you get older, look at Yang Dechang again, and you will find this person. He really has an almost magical insight into the living and psychological states of modern urban people. You and I can understand what he sees. It seems to understand at a glance, but he leaves a lot of profound blanks. Let future generations comprehend and search over and over again as they grow up. Especially the last "One One", like a huge CPU processor, every picture, every character, even every sound (the music, and deliberately crossing the two cities, the dialogue between father and daughter ), they all convey Mr. Yang's wise and compassionate feelings.

The prophet is desperate, but he really loves the world. We can all see it. Such a person will not die. His life is continued every time we watch his movie.

    Rewatch. Like a muffled blow, many skills are dissolved in Yang Dechang's wisdom. Everyone has to face their own problems alone, and the family is like a microcosm that allows the audience to feel childhood, youth, middle age and old age flowing through them at the same time. ——He actually accomplished this almost impossible idea. I think, there is no other journey in life that can make me walk so tired and so calm. Years later, the film review that left the deepest impression on me still came from Jia Zhangke. He said: "This masterpiece flatly wrote about the pressure of life, and even made me feel exhausted." "In the slow and painful In the peeling, the true feelings of the fifty-year-old are exposed."
