You can wear cool and thin cotton skirts in April. Summer in this city really comes earlier than anywhere I have stayed.
I don't know if Hayao Miyazaki is also a person with a summer complex
. All the films that he has seen in his memory have a rich green color. Even in "The Valley of the Wind", there are also small oases appearing.
And the overlapping green, always reminds me of summer.
Mottled tree shadows in summer, glutinous rice and red bean ice in summer, watermelon frozen in well water in summer, basketball swimwear in summer, sandals and cotton sarongs in summer. . .
And, in the summer thunderstorm, the cat bus that rumbled over.
This is a story for adults to recall their childhood. At least for me, if I read it once, I will miss a summer vacation in the countryside when I was a child. At that time, the summer was hot but not ferocious. There is a starry sky on a summer night that is so low that you can really touch it.
Maybe, only in summer, only in the countryside, will there be that barefooted younger sister chasing the "black hair ball" that only children with pure and innocent hearts can see, and the younger sister who blames her "could you be more sensible?" "The younger sister with her cheeks puffed up at the time, there is a younger sister who is swaying from side to side with excitement while walking alone on the way to see her mother.
It is only in the countryside in summer that you will see the little chinchillas moving in the courtyard, the family of chinchillas layer upon layer in the oak tree hole, and the fat guy standing at the bus stop with a serious face wearing lotus leaves, right?
I have been thinking that Totoro, who has only appeared four times from beginning to end, wants to pass on to us, is it still love?
Only after the vicissitudes of life are still willing to believe in beauty, kindness and warmth, can we board the cat bus in the summer rainstorm, and only the cat bus full of love can drive to the childhood summer that will never disappear.
