Nothing Remains in the Day

"The Remains of the Day". Ishiguro Kazuo's 1989 laurel work, written about the life of a housekeeper in a big house in Britain, and the most beautiful last period of the empire and life, and won the Booker Prize of the year in one fell swoop, it was really amazing! James Ivory changed it into a movie in 1993. Anthony Hopkins textbook-like superb acting makes every frame of film seem to flow the blood of literature, which is really rare!

What a long day will end. The distant view is a picture of Ma Yuan’s ink-splashing landscape, and when you look at Dui Qiluoli from a distance, when you look closely, it is a picture of the red sun of the British Empire falling to the west. Lord Darlington is in a special position. He is involved in major military affairs. He just wants to protect Britain from the last bit of a gentleman's legacy of "going through the tribulations and laughing at each other." . The Lord hosted a feast of envoys from various European countries and urged the revival of Germany. The guests at the seat were like clouds. Only the American envoy Lewis bluntly said that everyone was a political amateur (amateur). Darlington was concerned about European peace all his life, but he couldn't see the cold interests and powers on the political map. He did not hesitate to fall into the abyss of other countries for the peace of his country. More infamous for later generations.

The near scene is a small order from Li Zhiyi, and every word is about the joys and sorrows of ordinary little people. Mr. Stevens is the head of the Darlington House. There is only obedience and caution in his life. Every knife and fork on the table must be set personally. There is no more than a question of earth-shattering things in the master's study. The arrival of a woman brought waves to his life, but did not make him any change. Her heart is a plum that has not thanked him in the late spring, and every branch is open to him. Although she doesn't have a word, she hates him every second and thinks that he hates whether he can force him to submit; his heart is a hundred feet of Wang Yang's vast sea. Bing, even the ability to cry and laugh has been lost, and there are deep grooves and gullies carved out by the years. He does not care about his contempt and ridicule. He still has no sense of friendship and enthusiasm, and the mask has become his real face.

When they met again 20 years later, she realized that her life was so far away from what she had originally thought. She was so unhappy that she was walking the road that had to be taken without him. Perhaps, this reunion is also an opportunity given by God to reunite the hearts; but after so many things, so many years, the mountains and rivers have come over, so why let this unsaid secret be kept a little longer, Maybe stay forever? This long day has entered the last long night. In the end, they parted in the heavy rain. She just told him that this might be the last time they met. He didn't have much blessings, but watched her leave in tears when she was no longer young. If nothing is said to be the highest state of love, then why is it so many years of hard work? If it's someone else who has gone through the robbery and laughed at each other, that's fine; but she is your favorite person! She is your favorite person! You take your own happiness as the price, your cowardice as noble, and your indifference as grace. You ruined her life's happiness, do you have the heart?

Exactly: Where does Yue Chuang want to return to Hong? With whom. Yi Qianzhong. Wansi tenderness, once the assembly is empty. It seems that the string is still in your ears, it should be me, the first is like a puff.

The Remains of the Day quotes

  • Miss Kenton: [about a new housemaid] You don't like having pretty girls on the staff, I've noticed.

    [teasing]

    Miss Kenton: Might it be that our Mr Stevens fears distraction? Can it be that our Mr Stevens is flesh and blood after all and doesn't trust himself?

    Stevens: [with the faintest trace of a smile] You know what I'm doing, Miss Kenton? I'm placing my thoughts elsewhere as you chatter away.

    Miss Kenton: ...then why is that guilty smile still on your face?

    Stevens: Oh it's not a guilty smile. I'm simply amused by the sheer nonsense you sometimes talk.

    Miss Kenton: It *is* a guilty smile. You can hardly bear to look at her. That's why you didn't want to take her on, she's too pretty.

    Stevens: Well, you must be right Miss Kenton, you always are.

  • Miss Kenton: I don't know what my future is. Ever since Katherine, my daughter, got married last year, my life has been empty. The years stretch before me and if only I knew how to fill them. But, I would like to be useful again.
