I repeat...what should we do now? (S01E01)
---------------------------- Regarding the French drama "Soul Return to Hometown",

your relatives and friends who you thought had already died, one day Came back safe and sound... what should you do?

Although such dramatic stories have been staged in real life or in literary and artistic film and television works from time to time, we also know that such plots are generally based on "the person has not really died". For example, a husband who went out to seek life has disappeared for many years. People who knew him thought he was dead, so his wife remarried and had a new family, new children and new life. However, one day, he returned. Such a situation may make the parties feel embarrassed or even difficult to make a decision, but it may not be unacceptable.

But if the deceased relative or friend is dead in the true sense (that is, the body has died), and when he comes back, he (or she) is still alive at that point in time in the past (still at the age when he died) , And other people alive have reached this point in time...At that time, can you still face it calmly?

The French drama "Soul Return to Hometown" tells such a story. Many years later, the survivors of the car accident set up a mutual aid group to meet regularly and talk, in order to remove the pain of losing their loved ones and encourage each other to continue their lives. However, one night, the relatives lost by some of them came back quietly: one of the twins returned as a little girl, but her younger sister had grown into a big girl; a young and handsome young man Looking for his lover everywhere, but the lover is already married and has a daughter; when the teacher came back, her old husband, who had experienced vicissitudes of life, knew this was obviously not normal, so he tied his wife in the room and set it on fire. I jumped into the bottomless dam...

Regardless of the various possible serious crises brought about by this abnormal resurrection in the play, regarding death and loss, whether in real life or in literary, film and television works, people always have many things like "I really hope he is still alive." ", "It would be nice if she hadn’t died" and so on, but there is a less warm but universal fact: in the course of time, those who thought it was so important that they couldn’t be lost In fact, it can be lost...It seems cruel and cold-blooded to say so, but I have to admit that human beings are so adaptable.

Life is so fragile, but at the same time, being alive is the only truth...Sometimes, human beings are so contradictory, so strong, and so simple.
