It had been twelve years. At that time, it was the summer vacation between the second and third grades of junior high school. I was at the peak of my carefree life and full of expectations for the future. Moreover, there are also cousins who accompany each other day and night, talking about everything. I'm obsessed with Clark's ability to be strong beneath her gentle and honest exterior, and I'm obsessed with Louise's cleverness and never-give-up, and of course, the twists and turns of the story. That summer, the whole country was flooded, but I was enjoying the bright sunshine of worry-free youth in a small town.
Then, twelve years passed, and I started a carefree life in another city. And between two o'clock, I used to be complacent, cynical, and heartbroken, but finally I bid farewell to the dream of traveling far away, and took root in the south far away from home. I have a home that truly belongs to me, with bamboos in front of the house, green trees behind the house, and mottled moss on the road in front of the house, a vague dream scene. There are also people waiting for me at home, reading, watching movies, and talking. Except for that, all my expectations seemed to come true, and I knew that I was always in a bad mood, but I was even more afraid of losing everything I had.
Perhaps I was lucky that Superman was so clear-cut that the values of Lois and Clark became principles I hadn't even been aware of. Hidden under the suit and glasses of the ordinary reporter Clark is the superhuman power, but also his strong and peaceful heart. Gentle and honest, modest and humorous, and condescending to others, the more advantaged you are, the lower your posture. Maybe I used to be frivolous, but I have always been fascinated by this kind of gentleman's demeanor. So, I met my brother. There are more influences that I only realized today, such as always insisting that wearing glasses will look better, envying a thin and steep figure, insisting that girls must be better than boys. Like them, I have always been yearning for the unknown world.
Twelve years later, I saw the last two seasons that I didn't see back then, and Louise and Clark finally got together and started an ordinary life. For this, Clark has to give up his throne on his home planet, give up his long life, and become an ordinary middle-class American. Buy a house, pay off a loan, decorate yourself, deal with a family crisis, and raise a child. Life is more difficult than all dangers. This is an eternal folklore motif, a myth that popular culture never tires of telling. And now, I'm starting this life too.
If I was a sophomore in high school, I might not have loved the second two seasons, but today, I take comfort from them.
