The snow and ice are melting, leading us to the River of Sunlight.

Linda, autistic.

Perhaps autism has always meant purity and freedom, free from external interference, not judged by others, only following one's own heart, and only insisting on one's own obsession.

Maybe we were standing on the bridge looking at the scenery, and linda was standing at the window watching us.

Who said that each of us is a psychopath, withdrawn, arrogant, deviated, struggling, depressed, contradictory. But those are just inner dramas. When a Mengzi has plunged into the red dust, it also means that we have plunged into the eyes of the world.

The dawn of civilization has brought us only the freedom to exist as a group, while the joy of the individual is permanently and slowly fading away. Words must be sharp, moral rules are like shackles, and we are the same as we are today.

Admit it, we are weak.
Just for those uninvited scrutiny and judgment.

And the ultimate solution to all of this is to disengage and learn to live with your true self.

Linda is lucky, will not be changed, and does not want to be changed. Perhaps alex's later healing and hope stemmed from such self-persistence and freedom and strength, because of such purity, it is difficult for us to see each other again.

Returning to the earth and soil, yearning for sunlight and hope, this should be the truth and sincerity that needs to be pursued in life, and we can only meditate in the late night when we cannot see it.

Every morning all the people who wake up are
first persuaded by their own shoes and
never doubt that they are
not their own. The strange thing is
why other people's shoes meet
their own feet because as long as there is one person who
does not wake up, everyone
lives in his in a dream.

We never doubt, or doubt but are persuaded, persuaded but full of pain at the same time.

After Rachel regretted her marriage, she also said, "What if I were a shoe?"

If I were a shoe, I am afraid we can only be worn on other people's feet. Because the collective idea in our culture is much more than the film.

And once we can stand up to our differences, we have excuses and weapons to defend ourselves, just as Linda did with frosted cakes.

Those who have high self-esteem but false good intentions often use love as the name, morality as armor, and the public eye as a sword to kidnap or threaten us. Weaknesses and inadequacies of social beings.

The premise of overcoming others is actually overcoming the weakness of oneself and the whole society.

3 Death

"She just died, she didn't leave"
You will understand the meaning of existence only if you have had a real connection with a person.

Death is not really scary, the scary thing is never really living. One time, I vomited continuously in the middle of the night, and suddenly realized that the body is only the container and channel of the soul, and the process of death is only that the soul is about to escape and fly out.

I have always disapproved of funerals that scream loudly. If a person's departure really makes you sad, can you really resort to words and tears?

When those speechless and forbearing, split-like pains were shown in front of everyone in a way of proclamation, everything has become a performance of the soul looking down at everyone in the air. Sadness, love, pain, are always just deep expressions inside.

At this point, how can we who can't even deal with death truly, how can we feel the intimacy with this person that once melted into our bones and blood.

They have given each other the best joy and happiness. For Linda, Vivienne's departure is just the disappearance of touch. She can still feel her existence at the same time and place. The meaning of her departure is to tell her another form of life and the courage to still be happy.

To face up to death, can face up to a person's real existence.

4 Alex

always believes in the existence of redemption, others can lead your way, and the light of redemption is in the hands of self.

I still remember the story: "...In the end, the man walked out of the cave and found the vast and boundless world in front of him. He was overwhelmed and excited by the majestic and great nature in front of him... Suddenly he realized his own insignificance..."

The world after the melting of ice and snow, led We go to the Nikko River.
