(This was written in about 2006)

There is a bond in this world that needs no explanation, but it is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea. Their lives are closely linked, and the soul of the younger brother is retained by the right arm of the older brother. I still can’t remember how much water, how much carbon and how much ammonia are the main components of the human body, but the flames that soared into the sky on October 3rd burned and lingered in my mind until it formed an indelible mark in the depths of my memory. On that day, the two brothers lost a place to go back. They embarked on a journey. They said they wanted to find the Stone of the Sage. They walked resolutely and resolutely. The elder brother wants to save his brother's body, and the younger brother wants to save his brother's right arm. Needless to say, too many praises and too many expectations. From the very beginning, their fates were linked together. They would feel warm when they cuddled with each other in the rainstorm, and they would not struggle when they held hands in the strong wind.

Too many experiences are in the past, they understand the cruelty of the world. The wind ripped apart the sky, and they watched as a city was engulfed in an instant, and the Stone of the Sage shone with a heart-wrenching blood-red brilliance. Facing the screen, our hands that were already numb to pumping tissue paper once again shed sad tears. It's not sadness or sympathy. It turns out that there is no principle of equivalent exchange in the world. The world is too complicated. It's so complicated that people's struggles, people's lives and deaths, people's sacrifices, people's expectations, and every small thing can be easily ripped off. Touch our heartstrings and play a song called sadness. Is such an experience too heavy for two children who have just crossed the edge of Zhengtai?

However, we know that the so-called fate, the so-called experience, the so-called past, present, and future will not change with your will because you say it is unbearable. So at the end of the TV version, we saw that the elder brother was with him from now on in order to save his brother's life. The younger brother lost all the memories of the trip with his elder brother, and was struggling to find the trace of his elder brother. Regardless of whether it's Shambhala or Munich during World War II, we only know that they are on both sides of the door, both concerned about each other. Even as a geographic idiot, I know that it is a long distance, beyond space, and their desire to meet again is not just a matter of time and distance.

In that world, or our world, no matter how tall Edward grows, he is still a child, maybe we are more inclined to call him "Ed", watching him angrily shout "Who is so young Insects can't compare to peas!" That cute look. But not here. Time has deprived us of the only bad taste worth laughing. The blond child always repeats the things about his world and calls out his brother's name in his dreams. Even though the Alphonse in front of him has the same face as his younger brother, he is not his younger brother, so he will only be lonelier. The unbelievable heaviness was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. For Ed, this is the hell that came to him, no matter what, he can't fit into this world, and he smiles every day, but it's not a smile that comes from the heart. How he wished everything was just a dream, and when he woke up, he could see his brother smiling beside him, his mother prepared a delicious breakfast, and the air at home was warmer than the sun. But nothing can go back, not from the moment Hohenheim of Light and Dante met long ago. Time has made a ruthless stroke in history, and the solemn color can only make children pray for happiness in their dreams. Ed has been thinking about whether he has successfully rescued his brother, whether Master Mustangu can come back safely and bully others with that bun face, whether Wen Li is more beautiful or is still facing the mechanical double. Eyes gleaming, he wondered if Armstrong still liked to pose with a pink glow in the background... He missed that world, but all he wanted was his brother's health. If the hope is too small to support too many wishes, then as long as his brother is safe, he can give up everything, even if he stays in this world forever.

Without further investigation, he discovered the secret of Professor House Fenghua's house by accident or necessity, the appearance of Enwei, the Shambhala in the mouth of the Jewish people who looked like the president, all pushed the final destination to Ed's hometown. . Some people want to use Shambhala's "magic" alchemy to help their riots, some people want to possess Shambhala to fill their fears of mystery and power, some people are tired of wandering around and just want a country to live in. ... In their eyes, Shambhala is a legend, a holy land, a distant dream city, everything they want. But only Ed knew that it wasn't as good as people thought. In that world, there are also wars and killings. People live hard for their own future, accept laughter and endure pain. Some people cry with joy for their new life, some people cry for the death of their loved ones, and some people hurt those around them for their own selfish desires. People, some people will regret what they have done... It is the same world, birth, old age, sickness and death are ordinary, only some people call it Shambhala, it sounds so sacred. Alchemy is a magical magic for Germany in World War II. It is omnipotent. Professor Haus Fenghua firmly believes that if you have it, you will have the whole world... Only Edward clearly remembers the tragedies that happened because of the existence of alchemy. , it separated him from his younger brother, and made him lose his hometown - so Nova's words "you are a person without a homeland" can shake Ed's heart so much.

Without a hometown, in a different place, without relatives, and the only father is missing, this means more than a simple test for Ed. He desperately rejects the world around him, he doesn't want to blend in with anyone, but the people around him don't agree with his approach. "This is my world, I want to leave proof of my existence, you have no right to say anything!" Alphonse Hendrick faced Ed's block and pushed him away fiercely. What he coughed up was bright red blood, and his life was about to reach a place where he could not turn back, but even in the face of death, there were still people who worked so hard. Just like it, Alphonse used his life as a bargaining chip to devote himself to his research and the manufacture of rockets. More than just to like it? He pushed Ed onto the 11km/s rocket, he pressed the launch button, he fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire, the strong wind of the rocket's ascent slowly blew his Germanic blond hair, and then we watched To his heartfelt smile.

"I didn't say I was going there!"

"I want you to go."

"Alphons, am I in the way?"

"We are not the existence in your dream, even if life is about to end, I am still me, indeed exist here... don't forget."

He used his life to tell Ed that he existed, he used his life to tell Ed not to give up hope and still wait, and he used his lifelong dream to tell Ed I'll take you home. Once he listened intently to Ed's adventure story with a disbelieving smile on the corner of his mouth. Once he heard Ed in his sleep, calling Al's name over and over again. Once he saw Ed come back with a happy face, he said maybe you don't believe that I saw my brother Al... So Alphonse began to believe that Ed's world exists, so he began to dare not to realize Ed's A demanding desire to sacrifice his own short life. People always exist for what, and no one will forget that Alphonse Hendrick existed, and the rocket carrying Ed is the best proof.

Edward didn't understand why everyone wanted him back. He was the only one who didn't understand that the deep desire for his hometown had already sprouted and took root in the hearts of those around him. It's just that this child still doesn't understand, that he dare not think about it, but some people are willing to work hard for it. Perhaps Hohenheim is not a qualified father. When he lost his mother, he was not by his side; when he embarked on a journey and searched hard, he was not in front of him; when the final result was revealed, he suddenly appeared, admitting that he was the initiator of everything. It may be difficult to accept, but the fact is the fact, even if someone repents, time has already pointed to the past, and weeping "that's just history"! Hohenheim got to the other side of the door, and he reunited with Ed, who disappeared again. Perhaps his existence is mysterious in itself, appearing and disappearing when you think it is happiness; disappearing and appearing when you think it is hopeless. But when he reappeared, no one would have thought that it would appear in the mouth of Enwei in the form of a dragon in such a posture. "At the cost of my life, connect the doors on both sides... Say hello to Al for me..." Simple words, like greetings when you wake up every morning, with a calm tone. To open the door, after all, the human body needs to be tempered, but I didn't expect it to be him, and finally pressed the huge mouth of Long Mandu with fangs at the last moment. Hohenheim's blood splattered from our tears, like a red mist rain... It's not a rainbow after the rain, but the opening of the door, a blinding golden light. Yes, dazzling, the eyes hurt so much that the tears can't stop. This man, finally atonement for his sins - at least we forgive him. "It's my wish," he said, his father's loving smile out of the corner of his eyes.

His eyes shifted to the world called "Shambhala". We were pleasantly surprised to see that the grown-up Al could easily complete his alchemy with his palms folded together. His long golden hair and red coat rattled in the wind, and his body was engraved with the shadow of another person, just like Is to commemorate what has passed away. He said I was looking for my brother, he must be alive, in another world. So he rushed to the armors that were taken back without hesitation, so his soul went to another world to see his brother who was still so "nonsense", so he woke up and started to work hard to open the door again. I don't remember anything, I really don't remember it, including their suffering over the years, including the tears of pain they once shed, and the unquenchable fire on October 3rd... But he remembered, always remembered his brother's appearance, always. Remember his wish and his ties, he wants to bring his brother back! So when he was in the underground city, he closed his eyes, he wanted to open the door, so he needed the human body, so he was willing to sacrifice himself. Yes, "so", because brother sacrificed his right arm to keep his soul, because brother lost his hometown to keep his life, so he can sacrifice everything for his brother.

Russ didn't let him do that. He said that he was here for this moment. He fought with Gradoni. The scene was thrilling. We saw the confident expression of the child. We thought that was the confidence to win. But we were wrong, right from the start. In the end, Lars jumped to the center of the formation and fixed his body firmly without hesitation, even as he endured it dripping with blood in Gradoni's mouth. It must be very painful, he urged the hesitant Al to start refining again and again, he deeply inserted into the right arm of the soil, like his determination, deeply pierced into Al's heart. His blood fell down in large drops, hitting the strange and enchanting patterns in the smelting formation. "I'm here for this. You still want to save my brother at your own expense. I don't want to see that scene again! I want to go back to my mother..." The child begged bitterly, and Al rushed over with gritted teeth ...

Everything returned to the original tranquility, and Lars, who was pure without blood, threw himself into Quan's arms with a smile. I am finally with my mother, this time, never to be separated again...

The door opens, Ed returns, and the war begins. Facing the ruins of the city, Al was heartbroken uncontrollably. War, that's not what he wanted. Al of the two worlds, the child named Rath, they all simply want Ed to come back, and the wandering gypsy fortune teller Nova just wants his own country... No one wants to see war... …They don’t want it, but, “This war is because of us, you know? So protect the world. As long as you live, you can’t have nothing to do with the world.” Edward’s face has matured expression. He began to know how to accept the world around him, to take responsibility for himself, and not to use "I don't want this outcome" as an excuse. So he took Al into battle, and he told the people in front of him that the war was caused entirely by refusing to accept it. Jews, Gypsies, Shambhalas, Germans... What's the difference between everyone, aren't they all living people? So, even if you are in a different world, it doesn't matter, because there are the same people there, and there is a world related to yourself.

Ed figured it out, as Alphonse of that world said, there is not his dream, and the existence of people there is no different from here. He decided to go back and close the door that shouldn't exist, the door that caused all wars and desires. The last time he used alchemy, he cut open the spaceship and said goodbye to his younger brother. As long as Al is alive and well, memory or something is no longer important. When he saw that his younger brother could finally be on his own, he smiled contentedly—it was finally time to leave with confidence. All the knots in our hearts have been untied. Even if we don't meet again, everyone will live well...

Al knows that no matter how loud the shouts are, they can't call back the firm back of his brother. This time he leaves, it means never again. won't be back. To stop the war, this door must be broken. Even though so many people sacrificed their lives for it, even Ed decided to leave the hometown of Shambhala and return to war-torn Germany. It's not a question of how many people's hopes have been let down. As long as you live, it's impossible to have nothing to do with the world, so you must face it, accept it, and protect it with your own hands!

At that moment, I couldn't help crying again. We watched the two brothers walk along the way, even though they were scarred, as long as we were always together, we were still happy. We have always believed that as long as they are together, nothing in the world can stop them from moving forward. But once they were separated in time and space, we sadly watched them care about each other in two worlds. Now that they are reunited again, our eyes are full of joy when Ed's rocket landed. We thought they would never be apart again, we thought it was all over and everyone was happy, but Ed suddenly said...he was going back. No matter how much he is unwilling in his heart, he cannot stop his firm steps, and every step breaks our hopeful hearts.

Ed returned, he saw Alphonse's blood-stained body, he knew the failure of the long-planned uprising, and his eyes finally fell back to the armor that came back with him. The voice of his younger brother came from the armor that had accompanied him through so many years worth remembering for a lifetime. Maybe... it will disappear in a while... Maybe... it will never be seen again... We suddenly saw Al Climbing out of the armor, bitterness, shock, excitement, joy... Many kinds of feelings mixed together and flowed into my heart. The original hope is not in vain, it turns out that they can still be together forever! "I want to be with my brother, I want to see the same things with my brother, and I want to grow up with my brother. As long as the two of us are together, we can travel wherever we go." Every time I see this sentence, I burst into tears. Those who have read "Steel" will deeply appreciate the weight of this sentence. Even if there is no alchemy in this world, if the two of them are together, "there will always be a way." This is not the strength of Asakura leaves. , this sentence "there will always be a way", it is up to all audiences to verify its correctness.

Yes, the story finally gave us a satisfactory answer. The gypsy dance in front of Alphonse Hendrick's grave is so moving. Everything has passed, he has fulfilled his wish, and finally he can sleep peacefully. Hughes in this world has finally found his happiness. Without the crying after the train roared away, he would definitely have his three-year-old daughter as soon as possible. Everyone is related to the world around them, so as long as you work hard to live, you will be fine.

Time finally stopped on the picture frame of Wen Li's house. There, young Ed and Al smiled brightly. Even if they are gone, everyone will remember them. Only, this time, there is no need to wait any longer, there is no reason to make people here wait any longer. This time, Wen Li didn't cry. Although she cried when hugging Ed and saying "welcome back", this time, she didn't. The warm sun shines on her body, and she still loves machinery, but this time, she can no longer put a right hand and a left foot on someone and proudly say, "No one knows how much you have grown better than me!" They will become Her eternal memories, including the flashing lights in the attic representing the place where she can come back, will only be remembered slowly when she is lonely.

In this way, let warm memories fill the whole heart, and this is enough - although we still hope that the three of us can be together, and hope with all our hearts.
