Wherever you are, wherever you go

I'm sure this is the movie I want to watch again. The Chinese name, the translation is very flavorful, and it is a day of floating life. There are billions of people in the world and we are nothing but duckweeds in this world, oh dear, our lives are worthless.
The moon rises, sets, and rises again, only 24 hours, one day of reincarnation, showing the vicissitudes of life. Or it can be said not so sensational, because things happen every day.
Joys, sorrows, joys, pains, new births, death, armed rebellions, blissful ordinary lives, all in one film, all unfold before our eyes. That's what I know about our lives.
The way people wake up in the early morning, with their sleepy eyes and their first steps out of bed, is so meaningful to me, full of mysterious rituals.
People of different skin colors and different nationalities are doing the same and different things in their own time and space, which makes me feel so magical.
A single father takes care of his young son in a messy house. Dad and him offer incense to his deceased wife and mother in the early morning. The young son may not understand the meaning of loss. It may not be a gift from God, but sooner or later he will understand. Can't escape.
The first time the boy shaves his beard, he made a few cuts on his face with his unskilled technique, and the blood stains are leached out, but it doesn't look that bad, instead it looks very playful and relaxed. Being clumsy means you're still young, and everyone matures after being clumsy, but isn't that laudable?
Sick mothers, hospitalized heart patients, men and women who videotaped in different places...
The birth of a new life, a baby and a deer, are so full of vitality, I can feel the mysterious and ordinary power of life.
Wind and rain, thunder and lightning, work and leisure, prosperity and tranquility, the sun and the moon alternate. Looking at everything that happened on the same day, accompanied by the music that makes people feel relieved, I suddenly realized the saying: do whatever you want, do whatever you want.
The transformation of time and space, and the secret and bright question at the end of the film, "What are you most afraid of?" made me think a lot.
People say, afraid of dogs, afraid of cats, afraid of mice, lions, wasps, afraid of robbers and rapists, hate to grow up, lose this land not far, afraid of unknown cultures, afraid of Allah, afraid of obesity, afraid of death, afraid of loneliness, afraid of someday Never woke up in the morning...
until I saw that a husband who was afraid of his wife's cancer had no fear on his face when he faced the exact opposite, and I wasn't so scared anymore.


Life is too short, what am I most afraid of?
At this moment, what I am most afraid of is that I will not marry you in the end.
The wishing lantern floats in the sky in the movie. I also think that one day we can put a wishing lantern together. We will never be apart. I believe there will be forever.
Even if our life, our life, will be like the monologue at the end of the movie, we will all be bland every day, even if it is a little wasteful, but the important thing is that we are still looking forward to it.
The little snail is also very strong, and once wanted to climb the most majestic mountain...
I looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and sighed, my day has passed, and I am already using the next day to remember yesterday.
Although it was midnight, I imagined that there was sunshine.
