Worthy of being a national treasure-level actress, Xilin Shu is what he does, and there is no trace of "acting" at all.

"The Taste of Clear Sand" is worth watching again and again, especially when you are a little disappointed or lost in life, a little dazed or overwhelmed, you must watch it.

Dejiang, played by Shu Xilin, looked up at the cherry blossoms and the moon's face, which was so beautiful and holy! Her heartfelt love for the beautiful nature, her attention and patience to beans, her insight into food and human relationships, and her desire to be accepted and integrated into society are all moving.

The style of director Naomi Kawase reminds me of Nagasaki Shunichi's "Forget Me Not" (also translated as the Western Witch has gone), and it reminds me of the documentary "The Fruit of Life" by Tsudan Shuichi and his wife, and also reminds me of Okita "Where there is Kumagaya Moriichi" by Xiu Yipai.

The plots of these films are very simple, there are not many characters, and the stories do not have too many ups and downs. The male and female protagonists are average in appearance and the rhythm is very slow, but there are many of the simplest philosophies hidden in life. And the flow and changes of nature, which are easy to be overlooked, the whole film is like a small stream that you will walk through every day. It flows the most touching life nutrients, and every little wave is a slight emotional variation and Emotional symphony!
