Light a firework in the dark night.

There are often two shots of fireworks, one is dazzling and the other is dark and gray.

Jackie is a cello genius. She shines brightly and attracts the attention of the world, just because she can make her fingertips dance on the gorgeous cello. She has parents who love her and a sister who is selfless enough to give up her husband. She is not alone, but she is lonely and lonely.

As children, the sisters were covered in art germs, liked trophies, and liked to be photographed. When they grow up, the hand of fate divides the two people who share the same heart into two completely different tracks. It was on a rainy day, and when he met that cute man like a child, he would suddenly lift Hilary high, carry her through those bright puddles, and the young Hilary would be so frightened that his heart pounded. Straight jumping... She has met her own god. Slowly, Hilary got farther and farther away from music. She finally gave up her flute and decided to spend her life in the countryside with her loved one, living a peaceful and happy life.

And Jackie thought he had also met her god, the piano prince Daniel who could live with her in music. But one day, Jackie asked him seriously: "If one day I can't play the cello, will you still love me?" Daniel also answered her seriously: "If you can't play, it's not you. "The answer is heart-wrenching. Jackie then understood that he did not love Jackie, but cellist Jackie. The two are different after all.

Sister Hilary once told Jackie: "You can't do anything except play the cello, just as I can only play the flute. We have no ability to survive. We are all children." The cello's Jackie was so naked, worried about being stabbed, lonely and helpless. From the beginning to the end of the film, Jackie is always just a vulnerable and wayward child, she wants to prove that someone loves her. So she offered to share everything about her with her sister, and even wanted to share the man who only belonged to her sister. She asked for everything in the most primitive childish way, but inadvertently hurt the people around her, and even hurt herself.


Extraordinary people have a harder time surviving than ordinary people, maybe so. Without the ability to play, she is nothing. When she got into a wheelchair, when she carefully dialed the old-fashioned telephone and knew she was going crazy, when she was lying on the white sheet and twitched, in the huge house, she had nothing.

Don't worry, everything will pass. She held her in her arms, she lowered her head and said quietly, she raised her head and listened quietly, "Around the age of thirteen, I went to an El Dorado, Qinbo Naosuo Mountain, Cotopaxi Mountain... Hold my hand and cross the The Orinoco River, across the fiery Kalahari desert, across the savannahs of South Africa, across the wilderness, back home."


She flew so high that she didn't need anyone to look up to see how high she was flying, but It is necessary to have someone who cares about whether she is tired from flying. Jackie with fiery eyes and blond hair, a woman who is full of yearning for life, should not have been given such a beautiful curse by God to create such a cruel tragedy.

Every gorgeous firework hopes that after it blooms, someone will cry for her ashes.
