Preface: Music is sensibility expressed by reason. ─Lin Zhixuan

I don’t think that music must express sadness and tears, nor do I think that music is only for communicating with dead souls; but I appreciate the life attitude expressed in music in this movie, and the persistence of sticking to this attitude without regrets .

The teacher's love for music is exquisite and paranoid. The teacher is harsh and heavy for his pursuit. The scene of each practice must be in harmony with the artistic conception of playing music: a hut in the woods, a glass of strong wine, a "tribute" for the listener, a mood of falling into love. "Because I feel the infinite love, so I blame myself more." He clearly blamed himself, but still didn't want to escape the heartbreaking pain, the tears that flowed were just hanging on his cheeks quietly under the suppression of reason. Practice in music, comfort your loved ones in practice, and stick to your beliefs and pursuits in the companionship of your loved ones. In the six months since his eldest daughter passed away, he has not touched music, but when he is tenacious enough to face the facts, he still has to use rational pursuit to find the best destination for this emotional sadness.

Music is the expression, pursuit is the phase, and phase is born from the heart. With different moods, music in the same scene will only be in harmony with each other. Marais then recommended himself. Although he is skilled in the body and recommended by famous artists, the reason he said to study the violin as a teacher is indeed the most disapproved by the teacher: "I am about to grow a beard, and my voice has changed... I can't enter the singing class, so I want to learn the violin. …", the teacher sneered after hearing this. Marais showed off how successful and admired his performance in the palace was, and ignored the teacher's words, only making the teacher angry to throw his piano off, but it was his vanity that could not be broken. The teacher's heart was cared for in the tranquility of love. After the loss of a loved one, it continued to settle and became deep. Only when the eldest daughter's life was overwhelming, Marais approached this solemn thinking. In the middle of the night, after twenty-three days of waiting, he put aside his vanity, and outside the door was a "music pursuer".

Fortunately, the teacher waited for the heir before he passed away. This inheritance is far from the depth that Marais can reach when he teaches his orchestra. It is not the difference in the abilities of the teachers, but the listeners are not carefully selected, and the depth of this feeling cannot be sustained without experience and thinking. This also verified the teacher's exquisite pursuit of music.

The teacher's persistence in life also infects the eldest daughter. This girl can only think so simply, persistently in love. Even if there is no birth of a little creature, even if it is tortured by longing to describe it withered, still maintain this inner fantasy. But when she finally disillusioned, she restrained her love and buried it along with her figure. It's just a sentence "Why (the thoughts brought) the pain sounds like a lie", it's infinitely desolate. Perhaps because of seeing her sister’s emotional experience, the youngest daughter took a different path, married someone and gave birth to five babies. Without this attachment, it is not a bad thing.

"Every morning in the world", I like the translation of this name the most; not because I understand French, but because I feel that it can best express the meaning of the movie. In the world, cherish every day in the world. Every morning is the beginning of inner pursuit, so when you leave the world, it can be turned into the morning breeze, accompanied by this land that was once attached to and loved.
