"The Farthest Distance in the World" - a world-famous poem title, the first of which is "Life and Death".
Born a mortal, I do not have the otherworldliness of sages and poets. After watching the movie "The Undertaker" in detail, I felt so strongly that the furthest distance in the world is so helplessly filled with every stage of life...
After all, where is the farthest?
The furthest distance in the world is face-to-face relatives, full of affection or love, but unable to read each other's hearts.
When Mika learned that her husband was in such a cold profession, she felt ashamed and dirty. She is such a kind and virtuous wife, but after begging Dawu to resign to no avail, she chose to leave silently. It's not a long journey from home to the station, but it separates a deeply affectionate couple to the ends of the earth.
The deep love and the appearance of the little life finally brought Meixiang back to Dawu. The passing of the proprietress of the bathhouse allowed her to fully understand and read her husband's heart. At the same time, the proprietress's son was so remorseful. Staring at his mother's ashes, he burst into tears and said countless words "Mom, I'm sorry", but even so, he couldn't hide that day, he couldn't understand the fault of his mother's insistence on running the bathhouse and asking her to close the bathhouse. As the most caring son of his mother, he would never have the chance to understand the pious and firm heart of his mother.
The furthest distance in the world is also a longing that is obviously hard to bear in my heart, but because of guilt, I leave with full of regret and terrible loneliness.
In one thought, Dawu's father left the warm little family. It's too late to regret, more than 30 years have no face to set foot on the way home. A record with an address, a stone carrying endless thoughts for his son, became an inexplicable pain in his heart. When I left my young son that day, I took great strides and never looked back; now I miss my warm family, but I am full of guilt and struggle. Until the moment of leaving this world, what I can take away are only the regrets and indebtedness of thirty years, and the longing for my son that is full of stones in my hand.
In fact, in my heart, the furthest distance in the world is still life and death.
Dawu and Meixiang, because they understood each other's hearts, got a happy love and family. But even if the son of the proprietor of the bathhouse understood his mother, and even if Dawu's father received Dawu's forgiveness and love, what would happen? The past, the past, the tangle, has become a song. No matter how much emotion and kindness, it is destined to fail to achieve a happy ending.
Life and death are still the gap that makes the world most heartbroken.
