I have known this movie for a long time, probably the plot has been described by my colleagues, but I have never dared to watch it, because I know that I must feel sad for a long time after watching it. I watched it today because I was on vacation. I didn't cry a little bit, my eyes were swollen and I couldn't go out. . . The arrangements for the afternoon are automatically cancelled, so just sit here and write something.

The content of the film begins with a speech by elementary school students describing "My most admired...". Professor Parker's grandson describes the touching story between Hichiko (小八's English name) and grandfather Parker.

The professor takes the train to and from get off work at a fixed time every day. By chance, he met Hachi who was lost due to negligence in air transportation. Hachi is a very cute Akita dog, which is the first dog breed to cooperate with humans. But the professor's wife was reluctant to keep a dog at home. She had raised a puppy before, probably because she was afraid that she would devote too much affection to the dog, and it would be very sad to lose it in the future. The professor seemed to try his best to find a good family for Xiaoba to foster.

When we arrived at the pet shelter, the staff said, "Xiao Ba is very cute and should be adopted by someone, but if no one wants it, it will be dealt with humanely in 2 weeks." The professor couldn't bear it and went home with Xiao Ba. This reminds me of a place called "Qili Canal" in Beijing, which also shelters dogs. If you really love dogs, you won't be picky about breeds. Spend a lot of money on a dog with a good breed, why not adopt a dog? If no one adopts them, they are also treated humanely. . .

Continue~~~ Mrs. saw the professor and Xiao Ba playing very happily in the yard, and refused an adoption call. Xiao Ba officially became a family member of the professor! I 'm really happy~~~ Xiaoba

will send the professor to the train station every day. At 6 o'clock, Xiaoba will go to the small flower bed in front of the station in advance to leave the station, and it will never change day after day. The only time Xiaoba didn't arrive at the station on time, because a skunk came to the house~~ Xiaoba was guarding the door. The funny thing is that Hachi and the professor were both attacked by this skunk, and then took a bath in the bathtub together, which smells bad. . .

The ordinary life was finally broken. One morning, the professor was still at work. Xiao Ba abnormally seemed to ask the professor not to go, but he couldn't express it in words. On that day, the professor suffered a heart attack and collapsed in class. . .

The next shot is the cemetery, where the priest mechanically recites prayers, and the professor passed away.

Xiaoba still went to the station to wait for the professor. One day, two days, three days, the professor would not come back. . .

The professor's wife sold the old house and moved to another place because of her sadness and fear of recalling memories. Xiaoba lived with the professor's daughter and son-in-law. Xiao Ba, who left the old house, seems to have lost its direction in life. With a chance, Xiao Ba "escaped" from his new home and ran frantically back to the professor's old house. Unfortunately, the old house has changed hands. . .

Xiaoba is still lying on the small flower bed in front of the train station, usually sleeping under the old train, waiting day after day, year after year. At the beginning, everyone who passed by would tell Xiao Ba, "The professor will not come back, you don't have to wait." However, Xiao Ba still waited persistently. I believe that the dog's heart at this time, he is definitely not a habit, his purpose is very simple, is to wait for the moment the platform door opens, the professor can appear, he can be as happy as ever to pounce on the professor and act like a spoiled child .

People's waiting and love will become a habit and a kind of inertia at a certain point and time. Maybe I have long forgotten the feeling of love in my heart, but I just can't let go. The dog is completely different, the idea of ​​a simple straight line, just waiting for you to appear.

Although you do not appear, I am still waiting for you, waiting for you to become a kind of life, just for your appearance at that moment. The wait is ten years. . . Ten years, the lifespan of an Akita dog is only fifteen years. Xiaoha's life is spent waiting, just because, when the professor took you in, you once gave me selfless love and a warm home, and I will use it all my life. Waiting to return, without reservation. . .

In the last shot, Xiaoba has long lost her former style, with a dull coat, slow steps, and a dirty little face. The dog's wrinkles are hidden under the fur, you can't see mine, but Xiaoba can no longer run and jump as happily as he did in his prime.

He was lying on the small flower bed in front of the platform, the only constant was his persistent, firm and lovely gaze. I can't refuse the look in the dog's eyes. I can't describe the feeling. Every time I see the look in the dog's eyes, I feel that my heart melts. . .

Xiao Ba's eyes, one glance, I couldn't bear to look at it a second time, and I couldn't cry a long time ago. . .

At the last moment of his life, Xiaoba was still lying on the small flower bed in front of the platform. In the dark, he saw the professor walking out of the door. He happily rushed over, wagging his tail and licking the professor's face. They were like many years ago. Happy jogging by the river. . . Xiao Ba has finished his life in this happy illusion. see here. . . Who can not cry?

That simple life, simple smile. Please keep in mind the wishes of every dog. Dogs never ask for fine clothes and jade food, and they do not pay attention to the quality of life. Their only wish is to live with their original owners forever. When you choose each dog, you choose him, and he chooses you at the same time.

Many scenes in the movie were shot from Xiaoba's point of view. Dogs are born colorblind and can't see colors. To be honest, he won't remember the owner's face very much~~ If you have plastic surgery, maybe the whole world doesn't know you. Only your dog can find you first in the crowd. Because he will firmly remember your taste, your footsteps, your habits. . .

The puppies in the family have all been sent out today. There is a special fate between a dog and its owner. As I said before, when you choose a dog, he (she) also chooses you. When he or she sees other people, he (she) will carefully hide behind the door, but when he or she sees you, he (she) will approach slowly against the ground. . . At this moment, the dog is trying to give himself to you. From now on, maybe he will cause trouble, maybe he will bring some trouble, but more often, what he will bring will be a kind of satisfaction and happiness. Infinite concern in my heart. . .

Dog lovers will know that every dog, no matter the breed, will be a little eight. . . Just think about his cheerful look when you come home from work every day and open the door and enter the door~~

I won’t post the picture, everyone has the opportunity to watch movies by themselves, weeping blockbusters, detox products. . .
