Before his father's death, he mentioned cherry blossoms. He said that he could still feel the beauty of things and felt very happy. He had a good life.
--Excerpted from the movie "Haijie Diary"
The story begins at the funeral, the funeral of the father. In the early years, his father abandoned his wife and children, and ran away with his lover (Asano Suzu's biological mother). After the death of the grandmother, the eldest sister, Kada Yukio, inherited the big house from her grandmother, and took care of the younger sisters Kano and Chika to grow up. When the three sisters attend their father's funeral in the Yamagata area together, they meet their half-sister Suzu Asano, whom they have never met. Maybe it's the closeness of blood, or maybe it's the good fortune to see Ling's unhappy life. After the funeral, Yu invited Suzu to live with him in Kamakura. Kamakura, the ancient capital, a small coastal town, a big house with a long history, a plum tree, the four seasons flow, the story of the four sisters of the Katian family unfolds slowly.

15-year-old bicycle and cherry blossoms
After arriving in Kamakura, Suzu quickly joined the football team and met the boy Futa. One day, Bell was at the seaside and found a lot of cherry blossom petals on the shore. I couldn't help but think of the Yamagata area, and the cherry blossoms may still be blooming. Feng Tai smiled slightly and rode a bicycle with Bell to the Cherry Blossom Tunnel. The bell in the movie is really beautiful, with a healthy, youthful, and pure face, the breeze blows, and a cherry blossom just falls on Ling's hair... The fifteen-year-old bicycle and Kamakura, where the cherry blossoms are like snow, the scenery is outrageous . I believe that the young people will have fond memories in their hearts forever.
When we were young, we all had a good perception of good things. The newly blooming trees on the roadside, the sunset on the way from school, a cloud on a sunny day, the fragrance of flowers in the wind, the fresh green grass after the rain... can all wake up our hearts with throbbing and joy.

Sisters' Midsummer Fireworks and Yukata
(Off topic, some people say that summer in Kamakura is all about fireworks, yukatas and Masami Nagasawa:) I also recently got Masami Nagasawa's face...)
When the eldest sister, Kada Yukio, knew about the fireworks show, she took out the yukata that she wore when she was a child for Suzu to wear. When looking for clothes, they found the yukata worn by grandma. The second and third sisters hugged grandma's yukata and said that it smelled like grandma. The four sisters giggled together. In the end, the eldest sister put on her grandmother's yukata, and the four sisters lit fireworks together in the courtyard, completing a "fireworks display" in the courtyard.
The greatest charm of Japanese movies lies in the oriental emotional aesthetics: everything is light, everyone has a light smile on their faces, walks lightly in the courtyard to set off fireworks, and there are no lines. After watching this clip, I can't tell why. The three sisters' misses to their grandmother and the eldest sister's dedication to taking on the role of grandma's caregiver are all displayed in my mind, and I can't help feeling the beauty and harmony of the family members. warmth. Some relatives have passed away, but they will always be remembered by their relatives, whether it is through the clothes they wore during their lifetime, the house they lived in together, or the beautiful scenery they witnessed together.
Perhaps by always maintaining the ability to perceive beautiful feelings and scenery, you can inherit the ability to love from your loved ones. People who love don't have a bad life.

Grandma's Garden and Plum Wine
One day, when Xing returned home, he found that Bell was drunk after drinking his own plum wine. The three sisters looked around the drunk sister for a long time, and found a mole on her neck and ears like her sister (aunt laughs)... After sobering up, the sisters took the bell to look at the plum tree in the courtyard, and told a lot of grandma's stories Old things about courtyards and plum wine.
Fortunately, the courtyard, plum tree and old house left by my grandmother have deep feelings and obsession with maintenance. Fortunately, she squinted to learn from her grandmother's tone, "(Plum tree) needs to be dewormed and disinfected, and living things are very laborious." However, she is still willing to spend this effort, and maintain it every year, full of expectations and love. , to see plum blossoms, pick plums, and make plum wine. In addition to the plum trees, the garden is also taken care of, and the flowers and plants are watered. In winter, there are yellow daffodils, aniseed golden plates or Nantian bamboo under the dry plum trees. When it rains, you can hear the sound of dripping rain, and the Japanese-style wooden old house exudes a sense of tranquility.
The plum tree in the courtyard was planted by my grandfather in the year my mother was born. It has passed fifty-five years and witnessed the growth of two generations. The old house records the warm care of my grandmother and the memories of the three sisters growing up. With the changing seasons in the courtyard year after year, the children grew up one by one under the care of their grandmother, like the trees, flowers and plants in the courtyard.

good life and reconciliation
This is a story of "abandoned children", and the three sisters have more or less the growth scars that their parents lacked. The eldest sister was hurt the most, and she went round and round to find a paediatrician with a married man. She was too old and not handsome. In the end, the doctor left her to go to the United States; Unreliable people are attracted; the third sister is even more bizarre in choosing a mate, and likes to lose six toes, the expedition head shop manager.
However, the women in the film have shown excellent vitality and healing power. The eldest sister is gentle and delicate, taking care of the younger sisters is full of motherhood and responsibility, and finally decisively got out of the incestuous relationship with the pediatrician; I arrived at the kind and responsible head of the bank; the third sister is quirky and quirky, making the curry rice that my grandmother often cooks for my sister, and taking the manager to fish for "air fish"; my sister is gentle and lovely, and has lived with her father for fifteen years. The little boy Feng Tai who pays attention to and waits for him...
So the arrival of the younger sister made the father who was "gentle and cowardly" and "always deceived by women" gradually become concrete. As they lived harmoniously and warmly together, their father, who had been absent for more than ten years, was forgiven for the first time - "Although my father is unreliable, he should be a very gentle person, so he left us such a good one. sister." Gradually, the elder sister Xing, who was abandoned as a child, no longer struggled, and decided to use her grandmother's last remaining plum wine to reach a reconciliation with her mother.
My grandmother used her love to make the children without their parents grow up very well. I can't help but sigh. When you grow up, you must live warmly and kindly, just like the plum trees, daffodils and hydrangeas in the courtyard, the seasons change and the life goes on and on...
The phenology is in order, please keep a good heart~ Because life will always bloom as promised...
