Time doesn't stop for anyone

The picture of this film is pure, but always depressing. Just like the simple inner world of the protagonist, rich but unknown. He kept all the beautiful photos of the deceased in his life. Under the dim light at night, he opened the thick photo albums and flipped through them one by one, as if he had participated in their previous lives and lived together. You must stubbornly choose a more expensive burial than cremation for them, just because you want to respect their religious beliefs, even if this person has no contact with any relatives, and no relatives or friends are willing to attend his funeral. Such a job that may be avoided by others, for him, it is faith and persistence, and it is just a job that must be done well. The last relative, the daughter, disliked the father and hated him. But for many years he has treasured photos of him when he was young. When I learned of his death, I couldn't believe it. It was too sudden. In my memory, the strong father who was always angry, when he was old, the old man would never come back. However, it was John who visited various places to find his lover, relatives, and friends for this old father. He ran over and over, only obsessively finding relatives and friends for the last person who died in his work. He finally found family for the last man. His work has come to an end. He packed all his personal belongings, and he still said nothing. The background music at this time is so sad. But the daughter seemed to be moved by him, and they had a wonderful date to meet next time. He bought a pair of mugs with dog faces on them. In the whole film until now, he only smiled, and it was because of something similar to love. He smiled and life could start again. A car came, and he didn't even have time to think, goodbye. He has been busy with other people's funerals all his life, and if he can't find relatives or friends, he will be there. At his funeral, it was only himself and the priest. On the same day, at the funeral of the last deceased, all the people present were found by him. On the other side, there was no one at his funeral. The daughter felt strange and took a few glances. Still he is alone. It's okay, it's okay, finally, those who have died have come. They came to his funeral. They came to see him and said thank you. Is life complete? John, May. 44 years old all the year round. His life was great and ordinary.
