A summer with monsters is a joy!

During the hottest summer of last year, I was roaming the streets of Japan—the sun was in the 30s above my head, and I was sweating profusely on the floor where I could fry an egg. But I still miss Japan's sunny, hydrangea and cool marbled summers.

So I opened a "Japanese Summer Healing Movie" for adults with the feeling of missing and experiencing - [Letter to Peach].

Why do you say "experience", because there is the simple nature of the Japanese harbor island, embraced by the sea; there are scorching alleys, covered by the green shade of the sea. Whenever I see that small shrine hidden above the lush jungle and mud, I especially want to hide under its eaves with Peach and listen to the rain. These simple and beautiful things, like the crisp sound of marbles hitting a soda bottle, are simple and happy.

Momoko, an 11-year-old sixth-grade girl, moved from Tokyo to Shioshima in the Seto Inland Sea with her mother, Ikuko, after her father died unexpectedly. In the old ancestral house, she encounters three cute and stupid monsters, the monsters are messengers who come to the world to record the life of the peach, their task is to protect the peach and the mother before the father reaches the sky. The guardian trio and Taozi do not know each other, and they fight madly, so that the originally sad Taozi gradually gets rid of the pain of losing his father and resolves the estrangement between mother and daughter. They spent the "ghost horse" summer vacation together.

In the days of getting along with them, in order to prevent the monsters from stealing the vegetables in the field, Peaches must not take them into the mountains to find something to eat, and then be chased by wild boars, exhausted! In order to make new friends, Taozi decides to practice diving secretly by herself. Unexpectedly, she is kicked off the dam by a stupid monster with a mouth full of gold teeth. She just learned this skill that local children are proud of without any precaution. Inspiration!

It seems that the summer in Shioshima is neither hot nor hot, only fast and unhappy.

This reminds me of my childhood.

When we were young, we didn't have so many electronic devices for entertainment. The happiest thing was to play the Little Bawang game console with my brother while my grandmother went out to buy food. Grandma is still very simple. She came back and asked us if we were playing games. As long as we said no, she would believe it. But parents are not so easy to "deal with". They teach grandmothers. When you come back and touch the TV, if the case is hot, it means they are playing tricks. My brother and I were heartbroken, thinking that we would not be able to play games or watch TV.

But! Parents have Zhang Liangji, we have a wall ladder.

In the beginning, we took turns to let the wind out. Once grandma appeared downstairs, she quickly turned off the TV and pretended to do her homework seriously, but still got caught because the TV was really hot.

Later, after summarizing the experience, I found that my grandmother always took 2 hours to go out, so I turned off the TV half an hour earlier, fanned the fan and applied ice to cool down in front of the TV, and the treatment was too good.

At that time, I didn't know if the weather was hot or not, and only paid attention to whether the TV was hot or not! But that summer was super fun!

One summer when my brother went back to Chengdu for vacation, I asked him: Shenzhen fever or Chengdu fever? He said: Chengdu is hot! Although the temperature in Shenzhen is high, there is a sea breeze. In Chengdu, my heating area is very uniform, like crayfish in a cage.

SEE! Speaking of summer, we all only know whether it is hot or not. When I recall the summer when I was young, I would worry about the ceiling fan falling off the ceiling, I would miss the plantain fan that my grandmother shook gently during a nap, and I would look forward to standing on the balcony with my brother after dinner and nibbling on watermelon, and competing to see who spit out the watermelon seeds. go further...

[Letter to Peach] is a simple story, without the long meaning of [Spirited Away], without the cuteness of [My Neighbor Totoro], but it is a novel and lively summer for you and me!

When the hot summer comes, when the breeze just passes by, you should be watching such a summer movie, recalling the summer that belongs to you!
