Sending letters a thousand miles away, the courtesy is light and affectionate

The poor female writer in the film can only afford old books, and lives alone in a small but warm old apartment, where she communicates with Frank, the owner of the British bookstore. American female writers love English literature, but American English literature books are in antique stores, and it is difficult to buy a favorite and cheap English literature book. I accidentally saw an advertisement of a British used bookstore in the newspaper, and wrote a letter with the mentality of giving it a try. I accidentally received the old edition or even the first edition of the book I wanted to buy, and I couldn’t help but regard it as a treasure. These old books sent from the United Kingdom are not only in good condition, but also beautifully bound. They feel quite good in the hand. The paper and cover are impeccable. This is the indescribable mood of people who buy old books. Although new books are fragrant, old books exude an unparalleled special and charming smell. Perhaps the book can only be more charming after being flipped through.
Thus began a 20-year correspondence between the woman writer and the used bookstore owner. The female writer has the boldness and directness of an American, and the bookstore owner has the prudence and silence of an Englishman. The enthusiasm of the female writer infected every employee in the bookstore, and everyone was full of beautiful fantasies and love for her. The female writer also often delivered meat and eggs to the material-strapped Britain at that time. She got along well with every employee in the store, It's just that we don't have the chance to see each other, and correspondence is enough. The sincere and warm letters convey the simplest care and trust between people. Even if the bookstore owner dies in the end, female writers can visit bookstores that are different from others. Although they are few, they are full of hearts. memories and warm memory cues. As expected of tenderness, as long as there is a letter, the warmth of feelings can also be delivered. A thousand words in silence. In the end, when the female writer faced the empty storeroom of the vacated bookstore, that long-lasting smile will always be fixed at the end of the film and will never be forgotten.
