Do you remember when you were a kid? My favorite toy to play with when I was a child, my closest playmate when I was a child, my favorite teacher when I was a child...
It seems that we can only recall that our childhood was carefree, and those specific times have been forgotten by us. As we age, the people and things that witnessed our childhood gradually disappear.
When we grow up, the pressure of life is getting more and more, and the smile is getting less and less. When I was a child, I felt that happiness was an easy thing, but now I realize that happiness is actually the most difficult thing.
The movie "Goodbye To Our Kindergarten" seems to take us back to the most beautiful childhood time and retrieve our most innocent friendship memories.
Yang Wu, a kindergarten graduating class, is terminally ill and unable to attend the graduation ceremony. Connor, Takushi, Mikoto, Junyou, and Youyi, who attend kindergarten with him, make an appointment to find Yangwu. So they sneaked out of the kindergarten and boarded the Chuo Line train to Takao in Shinjuku, preparing to go to the hospital where Yotake was.
On the way to find Yang Wu, they exhausted all kinds of methods. Takushi relied on the map drawn by YangWu to lead his friends to find a route; they ran forward for fear of encountering bad people on the road; worried that the attendants on the train mistakenly thought that they were children who had run away from home and pretended to be traveling with adults; while chasing stray cats, they also encountered homeless people who could turn people into corn, and so on.
But after all, they are children, on the way to find Foreign Martial Arts, they are separated from each other and found by their families. In the end, Connor was the only one who found the hospital and, with the help of her teacher, met Yang Wu. According to the rehearsal in the kindergarten, Connor patiently accompanied Yang Wu to complete the graduation ceremony.
In this journey to find a small friend Yangwu, it is full of hardships and joys, and the innocent friendship between these children has become stronger and stronger.
When Connor learned that Yangwu had a very serious illness, she felt very sad, but the teacher only told her that Yangwu did not come because of many things, and Connor asked the teacher: "Yangwujun was the first when he ran, and he also ate a lot of vegetables, and the school bag he used to use in elementary school was also bought. ”
The world of children is so simple and simple, they think that as long as parents and teachers say things, we all work hard to do it, then we will not have anything bad happened. Therefore, Connor did not understand why Yangwu was sick and could not be as healthy as they were.
Adults always feel that children don't understand anything, but it is precisely because they do not understand the complexity of the adult world, so they will be so simple, and their world will be as innocent and lovely as a fairy tale. Even if they quarrel and are unhappy, they seem very simple and simple. What they want to do, they don't think about the cost and impact, they just simply obey their own inner thoughts.
Like Connor and her friends in the film, they don't think about whether the hand-drawn map is correct, whether there will be danger on the road, and they don't understand life and death. They just felt that sick friends wouldn't be happy not to see them, that they needed to find their friends, so they went.
Children's feelings are always so real and simple, and their world is so simple. They cherish friendship very much, believing that since they are friends with each other, they will be good friends for life.
In the eyes of adults, friends are only people who accompany them for a short time, and they will be forgotten after a long time. However, children care about the friendship of the present, never thinking about the future, they feel that it is the right thing, they will try it without scruples. Instead of being like an adult, afraid of the hands and feet, looking forward and backward.
The parents and teachers in the film are mostly puzzled when they face the behavior of these children. They don't understand why the people who will be forgotten in the future deserve such a big deal from these little children.
Their first reaction was to panic. They can't understand, just an ordinary friend can't attend the graduation ceremony, why their own children would want to trek through the mountains and rivers to find their friends.
However, this is very normal in the eyes of children. Because they are friends with each other, they can overcome difficulties and obstacles for their friends. Friendship, in the child's heart, is more important than anything else.
Once upon a time, like them, we treated our friends sincerely and thought about things only from the heart rather than from the perspective of reality. At that time, we were innocent and brave, kind and simple.
However, after we become adults, these precious qualities gradually disappear. We have lived in this complex world for too long, so we have lost our original faith and beauty, and we have forgotten the friendship and persistence we once had.
On the road to growth, we are in a hurry. Busy making money, busy learning about the world, busy fighting with others. Although we have more knowledge, wealth and experience, we have less and less love, trust and innocence.
We dare not give unreservedly for a thing, let alone interact with others without defense. We have finally reached the age we wanted to reach as children, but we have become vulgar and realistic, began to calculate gains and losses, learned to have a Paul to others, and learned to be smooth in dealing with people. We have only worldly interests in our hearts, and our thoughts are becoming more and more vulgar.
We gradually forget our innocent and beautiful appearance and carefree past, forget the days when we quarrel and reconcile because of small things, and the days when we can be happy all day because of a piece of sugar.
This may be the price of growth. The clearer our understanding of the world, the more hesitant we are in making decisions, and we understand that there is no place in the world called "Van Gogh" as the movies describe.
How could this not be a sad and helpless thing to do?
At the end of the film, the children hold a successful graduation ceremony in the kindergarten, and Yang Wu, who is still ill, also writes a letter. The children's lives seem to have returned to their original appearance, carefree and full of innocence.
Looking back on my childhood life now, I suddenly realized that I seemed to be the happiest at that time.
Take classes with your friends, eat inexpensive snacks together, go home together on the way home from school, and play all kinds of fun games together on weekends. In the eyes of these adults, meaningless things, we find our own happiness.
No matter how beautiful the life was, how happy the memories were, we can't go back. Time will not turn back, all we can do is to retain the last innocence of our hearts, to retain the last simple love for this world.
Years are like water, and time is like an arrow. Our life is only a few short decades, like a white colt crossing the gap. Therefore, in this short life, you may wish to try to throw off the shackles of the past, ignore the worldly vision, and let go of the desires in your heart. Only by retaining a piece of innocence can we feel this world full of love and warmth.
Don't be captivated by the prosperity of this world. Occasionally, with a pure heart, I want to experience the beauty of life. At this time, you will find that every day of your life is so happy and fulfilling, rather than being full of burdens and hardships as before.
In fact, everyone has an innocent heart. However, some people, after being hurt by their innocence, will abandon their innocence and think that it is useless to have a pure heart. But there are still some people who still retain their inner innocence after experiencing the wind and rain. This innocence will make it easier for them to see the beauty of the world, and it is also easy for others to feel warmth and love.
Therefore, we should not abandon the innocence and randomness that we once had in the journey of life. We must strive to retain that innocence so that our world will become simpler, the distance between people will become closer, and life will be full of hope.
