Neglected victim

He is a stutterer, followed by a king.
I don't understand the difficulty of the king, but I know the pain of a stuttering because my father is a stuttering sufferer.
Stuttering patients should be the most neglected group of victims. More than half of the stuttering is caused by imitation, so it seems that this is a terrible disease. As the king said, this is the curse of the witch.
Father usually doesn't talk much. In my memory, his stuttering was not as serious as he said, reaching the point of lifelong regret. Later, I heard from my mother that my father before marriage hardly spoke very much, and occasionally said a few simple sentences. If he was emotional, his blushing face would be speechless. When they were in love, they met on the road. The father never talked to the mother, he just walked by with his head down. Others persuaded mother not to be nice with father, but mother just laughed. Because she knew that after passing by, her father was so excited that she couldn't speak.

Once he drank too much and said, "You are not stuttering, but my greatest relief."

The father does not have the responsibility of the king, so he has more reasons to choose to escape and give up.
He keeps saying that he is a rough person. Like the king in the movie, foul language is easier for him to express. But he writes well. He said that when he was in school, he didn't learn well, and he didn't know how to talk to others, so he wrote by himself all day long, and finally got a printed blackboard writing.
I know that this is the way father wins the respect of others.
He always taught me that compared with eloquence, words are a face.

Perhaps it is the same cause of stuttering, the king and his father are so similar. On the surface they are all weak and reticent, but they all have a strong sense of responsibility in their hearts. They strive to be respected in their own way, but because of the relationship between the king, he can only make himself a fluent speaker in front of others.

During the movie watching, all I saw was the shadow of my father, the hesitation of choosing not to speak words, the entanglement of frowning to make a sound, the same hesitation and the same forced silence.
The king eventually became the eulogized figure in the history books. Father also got all the happiness of a mortal. They are fortunate enough to meet people who are willing to communicate with themselves.

I don't know if my father has made the same efforts as the king. I don't know if he ever cried secretly when he was a child. But I know that over the past 50 years, half of what my father said was to his mother.
