The sound of the tide

"Hearing the Waves" is produced by the well-known Studio Ghibli, and tells the innocent feelings of children in middle school in a way of recollection. This TV animation has nothing to do with Hayao Miyazaki. It gets rid of the climax of the adventure style in Hayao Miyazaki's movies, and uses a faint tone to delicately portray the feelings of the early students.

After watching this animation, what came to my mind was the campus and playground of my middle school age, and countless sleepy summer afternoons. The light blue curtains, the rotating ceiling fan, the faint outlines of the girls' underwear, I seem to be staring at the passing time, but I can't keep them. Looking back, I feel that I have missed a lot. I am immersed in books, I have never traveled before, and I have no guts to do anything out of the ordinary. The word rebellion came too late for me. I think Du Qi in the movie will remember ten or twenty years later, in the sophomore year of high school, the fine shadows of trees on the streets of Tokyo, the dazzling sunlight, and the anxious girl around him. He didn't hesitate to accompany Muto to fly to Tokyo. I think this is probably love. Everyone has been humbled for someone, and fell into the dust.

Back then, there was no internet and mobile phones. After going to university, Du Qi lost contact with Muto. Therefore, their meeting on the platform is more like a fairy tale. In the huge city of Tokyo, two people who miss each other can also meet face to face.

I often think, what is a truly full youth like? No one can give an answer. Regrettably, now I can only helplessly listen to the sound of the tide of youth drifting away, and I can't do it again.
