I've been thinking about what kind of fate I have with movies, what kind of fate I have with actors, and what kind of fate is it with "Long Time"? Just now Jiayi said, lucky, I think I am more really lucky, "Long Day" such a good script, director, cooperative actors, staff, how did I meet at the age of 49? For a while I didn't know how to stick around, until one day I understood that I loved movies.

Thirty-Three Years of Dreams (excerpt)
1997, July 14 to July 28
Companions: Astronomy, Donno, League
The four of them wanted to see Gion Festival, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto, the Aoi Festival and the Period Festival.
A few days before the trip, it was decided (my father had a hernia surgery to recuperate, we are not there for the time being, my mother can take care of him wholeheartedly), we have not booked the "our house" in Shijo Kawaramachi, and Houzi's Japanese producer Kosaka then helped us book a park hotel that is slightly more expensive and farther away, which is also their family opened next door to the Thirty-Three Halls (from a certain year, it was acquired and renovated to Hyatt), so we had to walk in and out every day to go through a section of the exterior wall of the Thirty-Three Halls. The houses on the seven roads and the swallows that flew in and out of the porch (when they left, the yellow-mouthed children in the nest became faster than their fathers)... Then hitchhiking at Nanajo Keihan.
Gion Festival originated more than 1,100 years after the establishment of the capital of Kyoto, when the plague broke out everywhere, and residents invited the idols enshrined in Gion Shrine, the predecessor of Yasaka Shrine, to parade out to pray for the elimination of the evil and the retreat of the plague. Nowadays, the Gion Festival stretches for almost the entire month of July, from the order of the parade at the beginning of the month, the order of the parade at the beginning of the month, the "children" to the Yasaka Shrine to worship and be enthroned, the water from the Kamogawa River to clean the shrine (Shinto wash), to the mountain of the shinto car ("mountain" is the size of a float, "chou" is such as the long knife and copper can reach the height of the eight or nine floors) cleaning, assembly ceremony (twenty-three roller coasters such as Mengzong Mountain, Boya Mountain, Baile Tianshan and other exclusive warehouses stored in the southwest corner of Yuanshan Park on weekdays, The car was dismantled and placed for storage by some large households and corporate consortia), using the now familiar images to illustrate that these Bopai fanatic transformers hiding in others have made their debut in these few days with many ceremonies.
We arrived on July 14, the pre-matsuri matsuri of Gion Matsuri (7/14-7/16), early in the morning, and noon, wandering around all afternoon, except for Gion and Shijo, the streets full of endless sounds (noh, kabuki, and kyogenesis, usually accompanied by flutes, drums, sachets, and taiko), and the streets were still very cold, reminding me of the Latin pop song "Carnival Morning" sung by Domingo that we sometimes listened to before going to bed.
We were stunned too early, cold so overnight, the next day, out of nowhere to come out of the street tourists, is not a foreigner is very recognizable, Japanese are wearing light kimono, men insert a folding fan around the waist, girls or hand-crank a round paper fan or a belt knot inserted in the back, the day can be fanned cool night can flutter fireflies, so, they have become part of the scenery, not annoying.
We have only been here for two days, and each of us has received more than a dozen advertising paper round fans distributed by the merchants on the road, especially when the Gion "Tojiri" queue is waiting to eat Uji gold, the store will come to give each person a signature matcha fan, which we have not used up in the summer of seventeen years later.
This is the first and only time to come to Kyoto in July, because it is no less hot than in the middle of summer in Taiwan, I and astronomy are never afraid of sunshine and fear of trouble, do not play umbrellas only one day down to start looking for straw hats to buy, helpless we inherited our father's big head, to leave have not found a fit, so I have been in a state of heat stroke, since then I have always felt that memory damage a lot, deeply thought that the brain chip burned away a block.
So during the day, we all wandered around the Yasaka Shrine to Karasuma during the festival, and wherever there were festivals, we fled to the suburbs. We went to 50 minutes away from Kyoto by car, the greenery of Ohara Sanzen-in, no temple sancho as special as Michizen-in, maple tree-shaded uphill trail on one side of the Kiyozumi Mountain Stream, on the other side is a nearby farmer's home-grown homemade pickle jam...
In the Three Thousand Temples, I did not carefully look at the furnishings of the national treasures and cultural treasures, nor did I pay homage to the Medicine Master Rulai, the Three Statues of Amitabha Temple, the Golden Immortal King, nor did I go to the Yuanrong Room to copy the scriptures (it is said that it only takes ninety minutes to concentrate on copying a volume of the Heart Sutra), but only rushed to sit down under the wooden corridor of the Palace of The Palace, facing the three large cedar trees in the Qingyuan Garden, only to feel that no matter how busy and desolate the days of leaving, facing them, I only feel that it is good to have something solid in the world that can be precipitated.
Indeed, the scene of the three fir trees from under the corridor of the Palace is the biggest selling point of the Three Thousand Courtyards, like the snow and black wood prints when winter comes, the smoke weeping cherry blossoms are not far away when there are heather flowers next to the spring path, and in the summer, the green moss is as deep as the green shade on it, and in the autumn, the whole garden who puts a fire of maple red.
The garden will definitely pass through the "Paradise of The Past Life" isolated in the garden, I was impatient to take off my shoes just now, never went up the stairs to worship, only not far from here there was a mountain spring into the pool, there was a small wooden sign on the side that read "Long Life Water", and when I walked here in the summer, I took the bottle full, and once I walked with him was Nishiki, I called him Nishiki Nishiki to drink the long life water, and the Nishiki tree that was only a little stroke more than a year ago waved his hand without appreciation: "Wait until I go out and drink the short life water again." The short-lived water in his mouth was Coca-Cola from a vending machine outside the temple.
Long life water spring to the mountain that is, the golden immovable Ming King Pavilion, can temporarily overlook the scenery, in winter the temple will often hand over a small cup of sweet wine meal (like our wine brewing), the rest of the volunteer believers will also serve gold leaf tea, in fact, in the shiso, plum, matcha flavored tea soup swinging some gold leaf crumbs, usually we will buy a few bags out of courtesy after drinking.
In fact, I also prefer the Katsurin-in Temple, which is not far from the Three Thousand Courtyards, out of the Three Thousand Courtyards (the small column of shops in front of its doors I can't get tired of looking at, always sitting on the red carpet chair in the shade of the trees, imagining that I am a Yuan Dynasty person), looking to the right can see the roof of the Shenglin Courtyard in Sumu. It was founded nearly 1,200 years ago, and its most famous deed is the 1186 "Ohara Q&A" debate between the Tendai Sect and the Pure Land Sect. I have rarely been inside, because there are almost all of it outside its short bar, and no temple wants me to practice in it like it.
YongMei: The quiet itself,
It takes a little bit of training and practice
Ideal Country: You read the Wing Reading Project we conducted 4 issues, and then you read Mu Xin, Ah Cheng, Bai Xianyong, and then whose works are you going to read today?
Yong Mei: What I want to read today is a female writer, Taiwanese writer Zhu Tianxin.
Republic: Many people will find the works of classic writers difficult to read and understand. When you read such a work, if there is any difficulty, do you choose to overcome it, or will you try to avoid such a work in the process of selecting it?
YongMei: When I choose books myself, there are two ways, one is recommended by others, Whether it is the kind of writers I like, famous artists, or friends, the books they recommend, if I am interested, I will use them to read. On the other hand, I need it myself. Maybe I have to choose a book on psychology and solve my own problems.
Then some friends, for example, a famous artist recommended a book, that book may be very easy for him to read, may be some difficulty for me to read. It may be that there is a gap in the understanding of life experience.
A good work, you may find it difficult to understand, and then you never read it again, a classic work, it can be read over and over again. So you can't understand it when you read it now, maybe after a while you take it out and read it, and then you will have understanding and inspiration.
I think that Teacher Zhu Tianxin's works may belong to this category for some young readers and friends, and it will be a little difficult to understand. Her works are actually personal experiences, with special attention to her own life, her emotions, her outlook on life, and her worldview. What's particularly interesting is that she is writing about the city of Kyoto, which she travels every year and goes to see it every year, so she is very familiar with that city. For 33 years, she kept going. 33 years for many children, they have not yet been born.
What was Kyoto like at that time? She has descriptions, you can see her depiction of Kyoto through this work, for example I saw her write, when she went in the eighty years, next to rice, and then there was a house or something. The feeling at that moment was that I was in the Tang Dynasty, but after a few years of her, she found that the rice field next to her was gone, it had become a cemetery, it had become a building house, in fact, there was a sense of change, and it felt different. But you will have imagination, through her to give you words, there will be a sense of picture.
Republic: Most of your fans are particularly young children, even high school and college, now in fact, the current society squeezes out our time a lot of things, for such children, how can we develop a good reading habit?
YongMei: I think the first thing is to quiet your heart, so that you can immerse yourself in the text. In fact, I can force myself to leave an hour a day, and I have to read it, which is a very good way.
Many people say that I can't be quiet, how can I be quiet, don't let me stay up late, how can I not stay up late. I think there is a way to be quiet, for example, to form a good reading habit. Quietness itself is something that needs to be cultivated and practiced a little bit.
× Yongmei: Good works are worth reading and re-reading

Thirty-Three Years of Dreams
Zhu Tianxin wrote
The old steamship tried in vain to leave the port,
She scraped the barnacles that covered her body, and unloaded them,
But he was greedy and fell into a torrent,
Hence the thirty-three-year dream of travelers.
"I saw Tang Nuo, who was holding his daughter and bending down to talk to the big head sister, I saw the astronomy who was twenty-two years old wearing a long jacket and two braids and was born out of the world, I saw Grandpa Hu Lancheng who was raised by the horn of the robe because of the sprint, I saw my parents in his prime, I saw Hong Zhixuan holding the back of Ah Pu, DaChun Meiyao and the two-year-old Zhang Rong, Ding Yamin Lu Fei Yi Du to Wei Huang Zongying These young friends, a monk and a monk, Wu Jiwen and Huang Jinshu, then a good friend Xiao Weizheng, my favorite Israeli soldier Zheng Ying, at that time, Zhengyi Xiaozheng family, Li Wen is Jing Ma each, the most able to walk the most able to see Junying, Hou Zi... Not to mention the alliance that sits in a stroller and focuses on two eyes and does not smile.
I vividly remember their figures, their laughter. Since my first visit to Kyoto (1979), the cherry blossoms have bloomed thirty-three times. --Zhu Tianxin
"Three-three" becomes history, and "Thirty-three Years of Dreams" rises from the ashes of "Three-Three" and records how a person faithfully and faithfully passes through the ever-changing era, through the unchanging landscape of Kyoto, and finds and guards the "freedom" of his soul. --Yang Zhao
