If I die please plant a dorayaki tree for me

Two minutes before writing this film review (for the time being), I saw Xu Wei on the webpage "Life is More Than Just Before My Eyes". I only heard the roommates let it go for a few days, and I was impressed by a few words: "Life is more than just before my eyes, but also Poems and distant fields. You came into the world with bare hands, desperate to find the sea." I came into the world with bare hands, perhaps just to eat this dorayaki.
At the beginning of the film, a man with disheveled hair dragged his body to the dorayaki shop and started the day mechanically. That way, a man trapped in the shackles of survival was living with his mouth shut. The middle school girl with her head down asked her to go to high school and was rejected by her mother. Unlike other female middle school students, she was cautious, quiet and careful. The grandmother who enjoys the sun and the cherry blossoms appears like a miracle. They met because of Dorayaki and merged into each other's lives.
From childhood to most people have been indoctrinated "to be a useful person when you grow up", and subconsciously always believe that a useful person must be a successful person. And the more you grow up, the more you find that the definition of success is so narrow. The success standard that most people think is achieved by a small number of people in this world, just like a little on the tip of a big smoothie. Of peanuts. As long as you do what you are doing well and do what you care about, you can be considered as fulfilled. The hardest and easiest thing is to be yourself. I watched "Roatan Island Love" a few days ago and I liked the sentence "You are stronger than you think, but you must want to be stronger.", and be yourself better than us. It's easier to imagine, but we must want to be ourselves.
The last three people trapped in different cages in the film, with different attitudes, were finally released and returned to themselves, just like the canary. Grandma Dejiang was floating in the world, becoming a part of the air and dust, and feeling the world more freely. Wakana went to high school as she wished. The shop manager finally made his own dorayaki, and used the utensils left by Grandma De Jiang to build up the courage to set up a small stall to sell it. In fact, Grandma Dejiang is the red bean paste named Hope. As she said at the end, "We were born to see and listen to the world with our own eyes. So, even if we haven’t become anything, we still have to live." It’s meaningless.” It’s time to fall into desperation when you’re depressed, just eat a bite of red bean paste for other people or for survival.
May we all do what we want to do and become the people we want to be.

Japan's sincerity in cooking and food has always been part of my favorite. From the early "Cooking Fairy" to the recent "Little Forest", the food is full of respect, infused with the emotion of the cook, and the whispering of the food, so focused and serious is very cute.
