how to live

When I was sixteen or seventeen, my mother told me that I would be free when you were admitted to university; when I was in my twenties, my mother said to me, if you can find a job, I will let go of my heart; now, Mom is nagging all day, when you marry a wife and go home, I don't want anything. But I know that after marrying a daughter-in-law, my mother still looks forward to holding her grandson and taking her to school, just like my grandmother back then.
Later, a few classmates ate together and talked about this topic, and found that everyone's parents had the same thoughts. In fact, the parents' idea is very simple. They regard their children as the hope of life. The children grow up step by step, so that they can satisfy one hope after another, so that the children can go better and better, and go further and further, but when the children leave, their inner But it seemed extraordinarily empty.
This is also the confusion of my mother I saw in "Boyhood". The son said that in fact, his mother was just like himself, very confused about life, but he fully understood the direction of his life. Maybe everything is fate. In order to cover up this reality, We give ourselves some hope, some yearning. And when the son wants to leave her and create her own life, the mother really faces this reality. She can't help crying. What she has lost is not only her son, but also hope. All she can see is the final funeral.
I remembered that my grandfather passed away a few days ago, and my uncles joked that after we leave, we will depend on you nephews and nieces. We must do it well! After that, Uncle San replied, thinking of death, his scalp tingled! Don't talk, don't talk. At that time, I realized that people are all the same, people want to live, but they don't want to talk about death, but if people lose hope, what they see is death. Therefore, Chinese people, in particular, like to find hope for themselves, hope in their children and grandchildren. Youth represents life, and from the eyes of children, we can see a bright future.
In "Boyhood", the mother may be a social responsibility for her child at first, but gradually, the responsibility becomes an attachment. Suddenly one day, the child is going to leave, and the decades of care are no longer needed. It is unacceptable for the mother, and at the same time, the mother's life is also difficult. It's not material, it's spiritual, and the mother becomes hopeless.
Perhaps, we can only live by the hope that we look forward to in our hearts, and our hope is always good. This is the real life of us ordinary people.
