The movie ends with a sigh. Reminds me of a true story that happened around me.
When I came home from vacation a year ago, my father said, "Your old uncle Yue's stupid uncle has been found. This time he really looks like an old man."
The story begins in 2018. Uncle Yue is in his fifties. His uncle is the youngest child of his grandmother, not much older than Lao Yue. He was born with intellectual problems. Grandma had been loving and caring during her lifetime. After her death, the five siblings took turns to take care of her. She was white and plump, with round eyes and no wrinkles. When I was a child, my father went to play mahjong, and our children often played with this stupid uncle. They were like the same age, and they were not even as smart as us. That's when we thought Uncle Silly would always be like this, words like responsibility, hope, and love would never grow old.
Until he was almost sixty years old, some brothers and sisters went to their children's cities to retire, and some had passed away, and the burden of taking care of him fell on the elder sister's son, the old Uncle Yue. One night, Dad suddenly received a call to go out and said, "Your stupid uncle is gone. You went out in the morning and haven't come back yet..."
I thought it was because I was playing late outside and I had to go home to sleep, but I didn't expect this to be lost for two years.
I asked Dad, "How did you find it?"
It turned out that Uncle Silly went to watch the train in the wheat field, followed the train far away, and went down to the village to drink water, but he did not expect to encounter the busy farming season of wheat harvesting. Seeing that he was stupid, but his body was strong, the villagers left him to do farm work. I eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns every day, work in the sun for a day, and no one will wait to shave my beard. Dad and his party took the photo and went to the surrounding villages to ask. The villagers just didn't let go, saying that they had never seen it or that they did not recognize it. Seeing that the clues have been broken, I can only pretend that the person is gone, and I can't let go.
After more than a year, a friend of Lao Yue suddenly caught a glimpse of Uncle Silly's face on a local TV show. The reporter was reporting in front of him. Uncle Silly picked up junk from the edge of the camera. Still familiar. I quickly contacted the TV station and took a van to the provincial capital market 70 kilometers away to find people.
How can the stupid uncle run so far? It turned out that after the end of the farming season, the young people in the village went to the provincial capital to find work, run a taxi or go to the construction site. It was not an option to support this old man, so he dragged him all the way to the city and drove him out of the car, leaving him to fend for himself. Silly uncle survived day by day by picking up scraps and begging for food, and appeared in the background frame of the reporter by such a coincidence.
After the silly uncle came home, he was wrinkled all over, and his dark face was full of ravines, and he had already become the image in the oil painting "Father". At this time, his eyes were still dull, and his expression was often frozen, but he no longer looked like a child with intellectual disabilities, but more like a numb old man who had suffered countless hardships but could not speak.
Who stole the silly uncle? We don't know yet.
I only know that Uncle Yue visited many temples and burned many incense sticks in the past two years. If Tathagata Buddha really threw a sign for him, would it have written on it—— "This morning, or never. "?
