In September, a lingering week of rain passed, and then the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus began to permeate with the still moist air, invading the whole body and mind. The dew is white and the wind is clear, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. It always reminds people of the hometown. This kind of feeling is the same as that of sweet-scented osmanthus. It is hidden in the green leaves, so the finely broken flowers can't be seen clearly, but once it blooms, the fragrance is very present. There are always people who say that after studying in a foreign country, there will be no spring and autumn in the hometown. In fact, in the process of growing up, once we accept the setting, it becomes extremely difficult to go back, and our hometown only becomes meaningful when we are far away from it.
I watched a Spanish movie called "Outstanding Citizen" a few days ago, I thought it was a comedy and wanted to relax, but the dark humor in the film was dull all day, "We don't have anything in common, we just happen to be both. Born here." The hero in the film, the accomplished writer Daniel, suddenly decided to return to his hometown. "My hometown - Salas, the protagonist in my book, they can never leave; and I, can never go back." , in fact, this is exactly the case, from the beginning of the crowd at home to the last almost buried in the hometown, everything is so evil and real.
This reminds me of Yang Zhenning's return to China not long ago. What a great decision, but there were bad comments on Weibo. There are many voices of "money misappropriation" and "retirement". Little did he know that Yang's achievements were enough to make any country support him Open your arms. The people don't care what contribution he has made in scientific research, they only care about his marriage with a fifty-year difference and the gossip and rumors from various hearsays. For Yang Zhenning, the motherland is his hometown, and it may be his Salas - a hometown full of absurd public opinions.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist showed the smile of a successful person after showing reporters his new book about his experience of returning home. Made me wonder what the whole movie was about. Perhaps the best story we can tell after leaving is to come back gently, without waking up to anything.
PS: Time really passes quickly. I read books every day, wake up in the morning and return at night, and the end of the day becomes very casual. I don’t know if it’s because of the season or because of my health. I’ve been feeling a little dull recently. It’s a good thing to have more time alone. I want to make various arrangements more efficiently, but I don’t want to live like a board. The clock is right, I think it may be that I am more greedy. Today Bailu, don't be greedy for cold from today, take good care of your body, and wish everything is well.
