The first time I cried was when the little girl was restricted by her brother to see her mother. On the school playground, she squatted on the ground and sobbed, almost silently, with a small figure dragging a long shadow.
Such a film with a sympathetic tone is about the fragile life in war, crying, there are many kinds in the film.
The little girl's cry on the playground, as a girl, when she was a child, the grievance that could not be resolved, she only shook her shoulders helplessly and cried silently. Don't count until you are tired from crying and fall asleep.
And this kind of crying, after the girl really learned the news that her mother had passed away, finally evolved into a wanton cry, although it was also silent, but let the tears run wildly. The elder brother, who did not shed tears easily, forced himself to stand strong in front of his younger sister for so long, and also burst into tears at that moment.
One time, I cried a lot, when I found that there was no sugar in the juice candy box. A willful little girl can feel the greatest happiness in the world with just a small candy. I never thought that happiness is so short-lived. My brother knocked out the last few candies stuck to the bottom of the box, and the crying stopped abruptly. What is lost and found, even sugar water is worth cherishing.
But it is this willful little girl, when the fire of life is getting weaker and weaker, she would rather not have anything, as long as her brother is by her side. Sugar can be replaced with buttons, and cake can be made with mud. And the gleam of fireflies that can warm the night is so short and fragile.
To build a small grave for the fragile fireflies, in fact, is also for the future self.
