The porcelain factory was without water and electricity for three days. When it was too dark to work, we would go to the only restaurant nearby that could cook, order a meal, charge the battery, and finally wash our faces.
The first story is chicken soup. It was the first time we ate this way, with the computer on the table, the casserole in the middle, and people sitting at either end, eating soup while watching a movie.
In the film, Shu Qi is wearing a retro dress and a dim green billiard hall. In that era, one promise could search several cities, and one letter could entrust all feelings. When it was raining, the two held an umbrella. I told Jing Han, you see, they didn't even hold hands.
In the second story, we have already returned to the hostel lobby, stepping on wooden boards and lying on the red sofa.
In the film, there is yellow tea, red lips and red shirt, white text on a black background, silent. Prostitutes and Reformed Literati. Yiyi Ya Ya's little song, Shu Qi's emotional mouth shape is accurate.
The third story, in modern society, no one takes anyone seriously.
During the three days of heavy rain, roads were washed away, shops were closed, supermarkets were emptied, hotels and restaurants were closed without water or electricity, and it was unknown when they would return to normal. The once bustling youth hostel smelled rancid, and almost all the guests were removed. Jinghan and I didn't seem to have thought about taking the initiative to change this or move out. The food and water in the personal colony gave us the confidence to spend a few days without problems. We still went to the workshop to do things every day until it was dark.
We were comfortably nestled in the red sofa, and the hall was just us and the mosquitoes. Hou Hsiao-hsien's light and shadow flashed by slowly and leisurely, especially in the second part of the story, which was silent and beautiful in my heart.
"Hey," I said, "if we were a man and a woman, we would have been so dependent on each other these past few days, it would have been long ago." Jing Han smiled and agreed, but she said that it was still not pure enough. If you want a disaster, it should be more thorough. You can't say that you can't eat, but you can still find a place to eat. If you say that there is no electricity, you can find a place to recharge. It is said that they are all flooded, but there are still places that are not flooded. Well, we think that's the best time ever.
