Can.
Will you keep looking for it?
Can.
Will you find death?
Can.
you are lying.

The beginning of the movie "Suzhou River". Pulled away in the dark curtain, there are no characters, just this intriguing dialogue.
Dang If the person you love is not around one day, no matter what the reason, will you go there? Want to go look for it?
Love is not a special thing, so many people are waiting for you to meet, and the coincidental stranger becomes familiar, and then easily replaces the painful memory of the former leaving or losing. Love can happen and be met at will, and perhaps only those with serious fetishes are picky about love, seeing love as specific and unique.
I guess there is nothing sadder than being manipulated, especially in a relationship. The light and the dark in human nature are always there and often domineeringly erode your mind in your overwhelmed negligence. Your memories are electrocuted, you are guided by your own demons, and the fallen love is still love.
When you are awake, it is inevitable that you will have consciousness, which is a feeling of hindsight, bleak like the sparsely flashing stars overnight. They may be talking, listening, singing, running, playing as you look at them as you see them. Sadly you can never really feel how they feel. What you have is nothing but an old, untouched past.
You want a girl named Peony who likes to wear blue nail polish, has a peony pattern on her left leg, has two high braids, and wears a red and white sportswear. Open your big, clear eyes and smile unabashedly behind your motorcycle.
looking for this girl. been looking for.
No matter whether you believe your eyes or doubt your sincerity, you feel that she has the breath of life in this world, you feel that it is equal, the love that has not yet understood the truth makes her escape the disaster of jumping into the Suzhou River, she will Live well and wait for your search for many years.
I will remember that she ran wild in the streets and alleys, ignoring your pursuit and ignoring, she was still gentle to you a few seconds before jumping off the Suzhou River, holding the mermaid toy you gave her, and saying to you kindly, she will be transformed after death. I want to find you as a mermaid. That jumped up, as if looking for a mermaid princess in a fairy tale kingdom.

This movie, which should have been watched three years ago, was delayed again and again because of the idle life of doing nothing. Finally got an end to it this afternoon. Like the movie, the mixed feeling of black is also the tumbling of the mind, the ending of me and the virtual Suzhou River.
Zhou Xun's acting skills are still good, the movie of 1998. Looking at her immature face, it is easy to think of "When the Flowers Blossom", Pu Shu, who is not suffering from depression, and their love. Time always rushes forward as if chasing something, not waiting for any love. Even if they are already together, they still can't stop the fate of one day separated by the end of the world.
The hand of time holds the hand of fate, and then love waits for a turn of events.
Then again, none of us see the hardships of love but can't shake it.
Then, we doubt love, but we can't stop us from welcoming new people in love.
Therefore, I have to contradict myself and say that if we forget the past, we can better love the present. Therefore, when I am suddenly idle and unhappy and unsatisfied, I will think of the old days. It is the colorful colors that only I want to see under the black and white negatives. To myself, I cannot be dishonest, but turn around and integrate into the continuing life. It's getting better and better, and it's getting better and better, how can I be willing to turn around and look for a shadowy figure. So, long enough to commemorate, short enough to forget.
Moreover, the long is always getting shorter.
Our remembrance is limited, shortened, diminished. Gradually, there was not much left.
Reality therefore needs fairy tales even more. If fairy tales do not bring lubricating effects to the soul, and if the ending is too happy, it will cause heartbreak again and again, it is better to be dark to the end and reveal all the holes in memory. In the solar terms, in the dark and humid air, or in the confusing inner world.
The ending is not important, but the ending is necessary.

The words she jumped off the Suzhou River seemed to have come true. In consecutive days when her whereabouts were unknown, fishermen saw mermaids singing on the shore.
So it is inevitable that people think that peonies exist. A mermaid is a peony. She is also waiting for your search. In this way, your search will have a more positive effect, and many people are like you, presumably everyone will be happy at the end, and the lovers will eventually get married. Love can be forgiven in the face of darkness, ugly and falsehood.
Mermaid and Peony have exactly the same face, but her name is Meimei. Put on coquettish makeup and perform Mermaid in the Underwater World for the public in public in nightclubs. There is a lot of noise, and your numb expression is trying to find the shadow of peony on Meimei's face. You follow Meimei and tell her about your love for Peony. After so many years of tortuous search, you must be guilty in your heart.
Pleasantly listen to God. His eyes were also centered. At that time, I definitely thought she was your peony.
But Meimei is someone else's girlfriend. It's been many years since your peony era.
I saw Meimei, after listening to you, she tried her best to print a peony pattern on her left leg. Maybe she was moved by your persistence, but more importantly, maybe she was not satisfied with her current love. Women are always addicted to Other people's stories, especially the legend of men's steadfastness. She wants to go in, just like Peony, or she wants to replace Peony and tell you, yes, she is the Peony you are looking for.

Just like you. Even less obsessed than you. At the end of the film, I also decided that everything was still what I expected. Meimei and Peony are the same person, as if the line of sight is short and the line of thought is disconnected, as if they only know that Zhou Xun is playing the role.
I thought Meimei and Peony were the same person, even if you finally saw her in a small shop selling foreign wine, even if you finally met each other, and she leaned on your shoulder without complaining, and said, take her home.
How much time has passed, how many things you have gone through after separation, but you really met, but you have sharpened everything you want to say, and have already said it to irrelevant people. There is nothing more to say, but nothing more to say. Her words of going home are because she misses the happy mood after riding your motorcycle in Girls' Generation, or the story of the mermaid princess who promised you. Does she believe in the happy ending of fairy tales, even if death is shining brightly?
The bodies of two people can warm each other, love each other, snuggle with each other, and protect each other, even if they become cold corpses. As long as they are together, they all lead to a happy country.
Is it because love is too heavy, or too much extravagance, life gives limited, ideals are always out of reach, expecting repetition is enough. Knowing you're looking for her is enough to find her. There is no regret left, so you can leave with warmth and take advantage of the moment when each other is by your side.
You jumped into the Suzhou River. This time there is really no survivors, how perfect.

When Meimei learned that you were dead, she ran to the scene frantically, and watched you and the woman who looked like her lying quietly beside you, happy without breathing. She also finally believes that you have your peony, you are really trying to find this person, you have used all your strength and your whole life.
She should be crying. The movie doesn't seem to give her too much performance at the end. It's just that since then, Meimei's photos have a face immersed in the past, and her cold eyes seem to look at the distance with disdain and disdain.
Until one day, Meimei also disappeared. She once asked her boyfriend if she would find her to die, but it still didn't come true. I wonder if she'll be waiting for someone to find her somewhere to die. Or, time is getting shorter, and her years have already withered away with the waiting. Or, she didn't go far at all and stayed by the Suzhou River all the time, maybe she sank to the bottom of the river after waiting.
But is she really beautiful?
I still repeat my doubts, although my doubts are very conventional. But all is not so coincidental. Coincidence enough to stay for strangers, coincidence enough to cry for someone else's story, coincidence enough to see the death of others, the soul falls, the body numbs.
6.
The words at the beginning of the film are contrasting with the ending.
Instead of looking for one person to death, it is better to go somewhere else to meet a new love.
Meimei's boyfriend didn't search all the way like you did with Peony. After a short period of sadness, move on to a new life. He was probably really dealing with Meimei's previous doubts. And you, Peony, have never been bound by any oath, and stayed together.
The power of destiny is not the power of love.
Just like the question and answer at the beginning of the film, no one actually asked and no one answered. It differs from the hallucinations of a heart that is deeply in love and restless. Also like the monologue in the film telling the story of you and Peony, your story is purely fictional. In a city too big or too small, you are either trampled under your feet in a hurry, or Replaced by a flood of repetitions. It's just a small range of self-closure, self-release, and some self-comfort.
Suzhou River has no memory, and most people are similar. They are all idle at any time, and they are also overwhelmed by time. However, they all thought they actually existed.
