Among the dust, above the stars

The small daily life under the war, outlines the life of an ordinary family in London with a warm background. In the past century, with the development of science and technology, the changes in people's thoughts and lives around the world are actually not much different. The most impressive picture is the early morning of the second day after the bombardment of the enemy. In the bright sunshine, my mother went to the door and smelled the petals of the rose taurasi, which was blooming warmly. , the flower survived. After the family celebrated on the streets of Lambeth after the victory of the war, the huge sun hanging in the sky in the evening reminded me of the title of a film by Jiang Wen: The Sun Also Rises. Yes, no matter what happens in the world we live in, what happens to us, the sun will always rise the next morning. Towards the end of the film, the elderly couple are watching the news of man landing on the moon. Husband: Look, he's going to bring back some grit from the moon. The wife sighed: like a child on the beach. Immediately afterwards, the husband was pushing his wife in a wheelchair for a walk in the rain. When passing by a place, the husband said: Remember we used to push strollers here often? The wife replied: I am now sitting in the car. Both scenes are wonderful, we step into the world as a child into the universe, and we return to the dust as a child's ritual. In "Astrophysics for the Busy Man," Tyson says, "Every atom in our bodies can be traced back to the Big Bang and to nuclear fusion in massive stars that exploded more than 5 billion years ago. We are stardust that gained life and was then given a mission to discover ourselves by the universe—and our journey has just begun." "The four most common active elements in the universe, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen, are also Earth The four most common elements in life, carbon is the basis of biochemistry. We don't just live in this universe, the universe exists in our body." Is the world getting poorer? Perhaps it may be because we ignore the light hidden in our daily life, and we cannot extend our vision to the depths of the stars! Those warm and trivial things shimmering in the shimmering make us lose our eyes of discovery in the fast-paced anxiety. We stood so high that we couldn't see the purple daffodils blooming in the dirt; we didn't stand high enough to notice the starry sky blooming across dozens of kilometers of atmosphere. Also, the UK in the 1930s and 1940s was already so advanced, my understanding of the world was really ignorant.

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • Ethel Briggs: I could have married a deep-sea diver.

    Ernest Briggs: Well, why didn't ya?

    Ethel Briggs: Because I didn't love him.

  • [first lines]

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
