The protagonist of the film "The Pianist at Sea" is named Raymond, who is adopted by a coal worker, and after the coal worker dies, he starts to play the piano. He often played the piano for the passengers on the ship, and the passengers were enchanted by his sound. He later became a pianist on a passenger ship and met a friend named Trumpeter. The two were very close, and the trumpeter admired his talent and was puzzled that he never got off the boat. But although he never got off the boat, he was already famous all over the world. But why didn't he get off the boat? He told his friend: "I can create infinite melodies in a limited piano, but I can't find my own space in an infinite city and endless streets." One day, his friend was leaving, and the ship Passenger ships are also about to be destroyed. But he was still reluctant to get off the boat, and only said one last sentence: "People on land like to find out the root cause and waste their time. In winter, they worry about the late arrival of summer, and in summer, they worry that winter is coming, so they pursue a far-flung, four-season-like summer everywhere. The place—I don’t envy it.” After watching it, I felt pity for his stubbornness, but I also admired his dedication to music.
