Turn over the cards of life at the right time

Well, I admit that preconceptions are kind of biased.

When I first met Cai Qin, it was in an entertainment show that I accidentally saw when I was a child. At that time, I was really very young. Think about it, the hosts of the show are Hugua, Yang Fan and Cao Lan, and you know how old it is. Several hosts and several guests are breaking the news about their cheating history when they were studying. Most of them have a very hilarious cheating experience, only Cao Lan and Cai Qin are exceptions. Cao Lan said solemnly that she had never cheated, and Cai Qin was even worse. Cai Qin's maths when she was a child was definitely not so bad. The math teacher really couldn't see it. She was sympathetic to her, and specially arranged her seat in a circle surrounded by a group of top math students during the math test, providing her with various " convenient". However, she still did not dare to lift her head, and drew the portraits of the little rabbit and the math teacher on the back of the paper. Of course, the front of the paper was still a blank paper. A group of cheating masters who were just showing their teeth and claws were completely collapsed when they heard Cai Qin's move. Cai Qin looked embarrassed and defended herself. She was just very scared, so she didn't dare.

For children who are receiving orthodox education, it is certainly very exciting to hear other people's emotional cheating experience. However, what made me feel more lovely was Cai Qin's fearful expression. In fact, I didn't even know she was a singer at the time, but there was a sense of intimacy invisibly. Later, when I grew up, I saw a report about her, talking about her marriage after ten years. Ten years of patience and pain, for a young me, is not a question of acceptance and understanding, but completely unimaginable. It is intriguing that the other person in the disillusioned marriage is vaguely referred to by the author as a well-known director. Now that I think about it, firstly, the atmosphere of gossip at that time was far less arrogant than it is now; secondly, the reason behind the obscurity is that the author has considerable respect and protection for the other party. Therefore, for a long time, I only knew about the past, but never heard of it.

Until one day, the mystery was unintentionally revealed, it turned out to be him... No one can easily judge or comment on other people's lives, but I know that I need to be timely in certain things, certain people, and certain moments. avoid. I have never been in contact with Yang Dechang's films. You can say that this is due to emotion, or it is due to preconceived influence. In such an era, divorce is seen as another beginning of life. No matter what the past is, if you look up and step forward, even if you are reincarnated, it is like a rebirth. However, even if you are born again, you must have a natural birthmark. People do not say anything, but they all know that it is a mark left by the past. Such imprints are not necessarily reserved for a single person. Otherwise, after Yang Dechang's departure, all the media will invariably hang up one thousand omissions. Be sure to write down Cai Qin's words.

When a person reaches a certain age, he will know the weight of the word "releasing". In the blink of an eye, once many things really pass, they stop somewhere, silently. For a period of time, in everything I read with words, there were retrospective reports on Yang Dechang. Then, I watched "One One".

"Yi Yi", Yang Dechang's last complete work, of course I know it, and I've read many people's reviews about it. People love it so much, they dissect everything about it in detail, I admire the care of these people, but I don't like the little fishy smell brought by the sharpness like a scalpel, all the details are stripped away, chapter one Chapter, paragraph by paragraph, second by second. And "Yiyi" itself is not sharp, but sharp. There is a big difference between the two. Sharpness has a thorough destructive power, and sharpness makes you hurt, but you are surprised to find that there is no trace of pain.

The people in "Yiyi" seem to be in the bottleneck of their own lives. Originally, I should have understood the depression of childhood, the hesitation of youth, and the chaos of youth. However, it is the helplessness of middle age. Although I am separated from myself, it makes me feel more understanding. I think, I saw this movie at the right time. If life is a container, who can be conceited that it must be in the shape of a bottle and must have a narrow neck? I think the wonder of life lies in the fact that different lives have different shapes, and they must have many narrowness, twists and turns, entanglement, pain and clarity. When you are in it, you feel that you have reached the end, and maybe it is just another starting point; you feel that if you start over, you will have better results, and maybe everything will return you to the same situation.

NJ and Minmin were honest with each other after the death of their mother-in-law. Their words have been repeated countless times and countless times. Some people say that it is NJ and Minmin's compromise for life. I don't think that was a compromise, but that they opened up the cards in life. Some people think that the trump card of life has the most exciting content, enough for them to be elated and sing loudly; others think that the trump card of life has the heaviest weight, allowing them to easily rely on them and defend against them.

In fact, the trump card of life is only the truth. If you open it too early, you will only be disheartened; if you open it too late, you can only regret it. The reason why I don't admit that NJ and Minmin's emotion is a compromise is because they opened their life cards at the right time and saw the biggest truth.

And the greatness of "Yiyi" is that it is part of the truth of each of us, the trump card of life.

Yi Yi: A One and a Two... quotes

  • Ota: Why are we afraid of the first time? Every day in life is a first time. Every morning is new. We never live the same day twice. We're never afraid of getting up every morning. Why?

  • Yang-Yang: I'm sorry, Grandma. It wasn't that I didn't want to talk to you. I think all the stuff I could tell you... You must already know. Otherwise, you wouldn't always tell me to 'Listen!' They all say you've gone away. But you didn't tell me where you went. I guess it's someplace you think I should know. But, Grandma, I know so little. Do you know what I want to do when I grow up? I want to tell people things they don't know. Show them stuff they haven't seen. It'll be so much fun. Perhaps one day... I'll find out where you've gone. If I do, can I tell everyone, and bring them to visit you? Grandma, I miss you. Especially when I see my newborn cousin who still doesn't have a name. He reminds me that you always said you felt old. I want to tell him that I feel I am old, too.
