The plain and subtle happiness in "Lunch Box"

It is raining in Guangzhou today. In the wet rainy day, I took out clean and reassuring tableware from the disinfection cabinet. The wet weather is annoying, and the wooden chopsticks that are dry and still have residual heat are faintly hidden in the palm of my hand. There is a reassuring sense of happiness, simple and plain. The lonely accountant Fernanda in the movie, the lunch box made with heart is undoubtedly like the dry wooden chopsticks in the rainy day to me, it brings people a subtle and plain happiness, and gradually lights up other corners of life. The same lunch box, for Fernanda, is a happiness that gradually lights up life, but it is nothing to Ira's husband. Those who are always surrounded by happiness cannot experience such happiness. The joy that Ira brought to Fernanda was contagious to me little by little by the director's delicate shots. There were no gorgeous scenes and exaggerated descriptions. The messy and trivial things in life tortured people's nerves, and the hero and heroine interacted with each other. The warmth of the river flows slowly and unhurriedly in the heart with the trivial details in life, soothing the nervous nerves...

When I finished thinking about this text, I looked up and saw my mother was happily talking to her beloved orchid, hoping that her orchid would grow well... There are flowers on the clean dining table, my favorite oil paintings on the side, and the coffee table is exquisite The tea utensils, these are my favorite things, my mother arranged them carefully... Ordinary life has become vivid because of my mother, these beautiful things are shining like starlight in the long river of my life, like sparks frying in the stove The firewood keeps me warm...
