I don't understand

I fell asleep at work and dreamed. I dreamed a lot of inexplicable things. When I woke up, I suddenly remembered the movie I saw randomly when I was watching TV at home while taking injections and skipping work a few days ago.

The movie is called Liu An Hua Ming. It is about a couple who have been in love with each other for 40 years. Because the wife has Alzheimer's and is going to be sent to a nursing home, the two have to be separated for 30 days, so that the wife can adapt to the life in the nursing home. When he went to see his wife with flowers, he found that his wife had forgotten him and pinned his emotions on another old patient. He went to see her every day and saw that she gradually turned into a strange woman, wearing a sweater that was not hers, combing her hair that was not her style, and loving another person. The husband did everything to no avail, she still couldn't remember him or their "40 years of unbeatable", so he almost gave up on himself, trying to help his wife love another person, and in the process his wife I forgot about that patient again, and I had new feelings for my husband again.

The movie is very dramatic, but after watching it, I suddenly feel that the connection between people is really superficial. People describe their experiences in their memories, and rely on the emotions in their memories to habitually meet and fall in love, but memories can easily become intentional. And inadvertently being lost, how can there be so many obsessions in real life, once you choose to give up, then the past 40 years will all be gone in just one second, and the people who have loved each other for 40 years will change in just one second. as two strangers.
