Life is like an unopened safe

Tommy kept saying that he didn't really grow up because he knew what he should take on, and he was still 13 years old that year.
Life is like an unopened safe, and he will never know the stories behind it. It's like he won't understand why such a close friend would steal a bike behind his back and throw away the change that the two of them worked so hard to save. In that year, the lady behind bars told him what love is and what friendship is. But in that year, he ended up losing his friendship and also his love. When he looked back and found that everything was so powerless to change, he lost the most important thing: family.
When lady told him the cruelty of growing up and let him escape. Because it's not something he can handle. He unplugged his mother's ventilator and hid under the bed crying in pain. Say goodbye to go abroad, and ask friends to take good care of themselves. He can't take it, but he's starting to grow up.
Later, he finally stopped shaving. Later, he began to treat people with confidence. Later, he was gentle and delicate to his beloved wife Jiao Er. He finally decided to come back to witness his growth. But when lady called tommy at the window, he still couldn't help crying.
We have lost a lot and we have gained a lot. We all have to learn to appreciate brutal growth. As lady said, we did what we had to do, a boy had to leave before he came back.

    Pappass: You have the dad face now.

    [pushing out an old man jaw]

    Pappass: My dad died... a lot of sleeps ago. Cancer ate him, just your dad. Cancer is the crab on the horoscope. Crab dinner, "$6.95, all you can eat."

    Tom Warshaw: Sorry, Pappass.

    Pappass: It's okay, 'cause the crab ate all the hard parts first, the mean parts. The parts that hate me being retarded. Just before he died when he was only mostly dead, he was *so* nice. 'Cause only the soft parts were left. He was the nicest guy in the world. He hugged me, and he told me over and over, he loved me, he loved me, he loved me.

    Tom Warshaw: Pappass...

    [patting his knee]

    Pappass: I hate seafood. You know, Tommy, sometimes I think the crab ate me while I was still in my mom's belly. I think it are all my smart parts. Do you think that's what happened, Tommy?

    Tom Warshaw: No.

    Pappass: No?

    Tom Warshaw: I think you got plenty of smart parts, Pappass.

    Pappass: Yeah.
