if you can imagine

If it can be imagined, why can't the oak species sprout and grow into a towering tree in a moment? Why can't chinchillas stand on top of the top and lead the children to dance?

If we can imagine, why can't we be moved? Watching the entire drama with a knowing smile, recalling the innocence of the past? Even if you know that Zhenchun can never come back again, can you still relive it in a drama?

I think of the countryside where I lived in my childhood, green trees, blue sky, wildflowers, and fields, and I think of the time in primary school. When I go to school, I have to pass an old tree in the former village. It seems to return to the old time. I am many years later, in Shenzhen, which is thousands of miles away from Qufu. A strange feeling of time and space.

On the bodies of Xiaoyue and Xiaomei, both their own shadows are superimposed, and they can't help but think of the three treasures. The innocence of chinchillas and children is actually the same. Everyone has had a childhood. Even if they are covered with dust in the years, they are still cute when the gray fog is removed. Crying and laughing, chasing and making noise, there is no heavy feeling at all, even if Xiaomei runs away, she is convinced that she will be found, and there will be nothing wrong, in Xiaoyue's running, Xiaomei's laughter, in the speeding cat bus , give the dream a happy ending.

In our world, it's not all inflation, it's not all financial stocks, currency wars, and a little distraction to the fairy tale world -- even if it's a temporary dream.

    I like the fluffy chinchillas.

    [Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening] I just finished watching "Grave of the Fireflies" and my mood has not calmed down. Watch this now, the gap is too big. This is just a naive, simple, warm, dreamy, and childlike fairy tale. No depth, no healing. I also don't think the music is more beautiful than Hisaishi's other works. Why can it be a classic? Is it OK to replace Totoro with Godzilla or Cthulhu (South Park)?
