I came across this film by chance, and was warmed by the smile of Timothy Angel in the film.
Timothy was born with the best expectations of his parents, he never asks, he only gives. In his short existence, he gave all the good things to others, including his aunt, his parents, his grandpa, the football coach and his she.
Everyone who came into contact with him seemed to be branded, and the memory of him allowed people to live better.
Memorials in European and American cultures and Asian cultures are different.
European and American cultures put more emphasis on the vitality of commemoration, and they will name their children with particularly memorable people and events. They will not forget the people and events of the past, but they pay more attention to the forward development of life, that is, the inheritance of this commemoration.
The Asian culture regards "not forgetting" as a criterion for measuring whether a person is noble in character and whether the feelings between people are valuable.
Just like we would feel that a person who has not been able to get out of the shadow of a broken love for many years is very devoted. If we see the news that one of the two golden-wed old people has taken the lead and the other is too sad and will die soon, it will be even more bitter. Tears, I am deeply moved by the times when the world is declining and people are not ancient.
In Asian cultures, it seems that such behavior is highly commendable. But does this form of commemoration really make people feel happy?
Obviously not. The world we live in is very broad, and the meaning of life is much richer than we imagined. It is not just commemorating this matter.
Life is a one-way journey, and happiness can only be achieved by moving forward.
