At the beginning of the movie, Dejiang is walking in the sun, watching the full bloom of the cherry blossoms with a smile, I thought this must be an old woman with a lifetime of happy memories in her heart. However, with the development of the plot, the old man's unfortunate life gradually became clear. Ms. Dejiang suffered from leprosy when she was a teenager and was abandoned by her relatives in a nursing home. She had had children, but failed to get permission for this beloved little life to be born. People's fear of leprosy deprived her of the opportunity to enter this society. At the end of the year, her lover also left before her, and she had to live alone in this world for more than ten years. What kind of force is supporting her and treating the world so tenderly?
"We want to stay away from right and wrong and live our own lives, but sometimes we are hurt by the ignorance of this society, and sometimes we have to use our own wisdom." Gentle people are not necessarily wise, but wise people must be gentle of. From Dejiang's making red bean paste and the letter she wrote to the store manager, it is not difficult to see that she is an "animist" who believes in animism. "When I make red bean stuffing, I always listen to the stories the beans tell, imagine the sunny and rainy days the beans have seen, and the breeze blows the content of the beans' conversation... I think everything in this world, There is a story to tell.” Before Tokugawa’s arrival, the red bean fillings used in the Dorayaki shop were all delivered in batches from the factory, which is fast and convenient, and there is no need to get up before dawn to prepare, and there is no need to guard Staying on the side of the pot for hours just to get the right red bean paste. But such dorayaki has no soul. The various additives and excessive grinding used to improve efficiency in the mechanized production process have long since changed the appearance of red beans. As a result of all shops using mass-produced red bean paste, a rough, artificial taste gradually monopolizes people's taste buds, and people lose their ability to feel the original taste of the ingredients - they mistakenly think that the taste of cyclamate is The sweetness of red beans. So, when the hand-made red bean filling melts on the tip of the diners' tongues, they will be amazed and say: "This red bean filling has a firmer bite, so you can feel like you are eating beans."
There are no beans in the red bean filling, no blueberries in the blueberry jam, and no orange juice from oranges. These have long been the tacit facts of modern people. The technology mastered by human beings has been so developed that many things in nature can be imitated artificially, but no matter how fake it is, it is not real after all. Even this artificial abuse makes mankind confident that the so-called nature is nothing more than this. So people disdain to listen to the voice of nature, do not care about sunlight, breeze, flowers, eat refined food, farther and farther away from nature. When the process of ingredients from the land to the table is simplified, and it is no longer necessary to spend a lot of time and energy on obtaining ingredients and cooking, it also loses the cherishing of food and the awe of life. Throwing away the leftover meals, pursuing spicy, stimulating or overly sweet taste, different ingredients are adjusted into the same posture by seasonings, and the original taste of the food gradually disappears in people's memory. How can people who don't care about food treat the world tenderly?
All beings, as small as a red bean, have their own stories, which are worth listening to. It is a story, whether it is an unfortunate encounter or a warm encounter, why bother? So even if life is cruel, don't be irritable, just smile when you eat something delicious.
