Miyazaki said: If we show our childhood again, we will laugh first, then cry bitterly, and finally hang up in tears and smile and go to sleep.
"Heidi and Grandpa" is a film that reminds me of my childhood every time I watch it, can't help but cry and be warmed, like a healing fairy tale for adults.
The image comes from the Internet
The adult world is full of difficulties.
We need to make enough money to give our families a decent life and also want to go further afield.
But poetry and far away are expensive, and the sea of stars also needs tickets. We are like a high-speed machine, allowing ourselves to accelerate growth.
And the little Heidi in the film grinning innocently and showing the smile of the front teeth is enough to heal our tired hearts.
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Swiss children's writer Johanna Sperry, the film tells the story of orphan Heidi who is sent by her aunt to her grandfather who lives alone in the Alps, and finally little Heidi touches everyone with her sincerity and kindness.
Sometimes, we can learn some pure ways of dealing with the world from the perspective of a child.
01
Sincerity and kindness will give you back gifts
Heidi's parents died, and her aunt forced Heidi to her grandfather, who lived in the Alps, for work reasons, and secretly ran away.
At first, when Heidi saw that grandpa was unwilling to take her in, she did not cry and smash the door, but silently slept in the sheepfold herself.
The next morning, still saying good morning to Grandpa, even the eccentric Grandpa opened the door and saw that little Heidi was holding a lamb with a smile on his face, and his heart was already warmer.
Although Heidi has suffered a painful experience, she still has an optimistic and lively personality, which is really too pleasing.
When Heidi misses Pete's neighbors and sees that the other children are in school, she is afraid of causing trouble for her grandfather, and does not ask for any requests or complain. At a young age, he is very empathetic and able to understand others. Who wouldn't love such a child?
Heidi was later smuggled by her aunt to her employer's friend's house to read to his daughter Gullala. Gulala could no longer stand up because of an illness and could only sit in a wheelchair, and the arrival of Little Heidi changed Gulala's originally dull life.
Heidi listens to Gullala's voice and takes her to the market, where she has not been out for a long time. Although Heidi was bent on returning to the majestic mountain, she did not stubbornly abandon Gulala.
In the film, there is a moving plot. While eating at Clara's house, Heidi sneaks two small loaves of bread in her pocket every day to one day bring to Grandma Pitt, who has no teeth.
Kind little Heidi, always able to bring warmth and touch to the people around her.
Writer Li Xinpin said: When you feel that you lack something, you should pay what you want. What you give will turn into a gift to come to you.
As adults, we might as well remain childlike. Be genuine and be kind.
02
The beauty of nature purifies the mind
If you are in a low mood, you don't feel the meaning of life. It is better to walk into the beauty of the Alps, which will make you feel worthwhile in the world many times, and suddenly open up.
The film depicts the beauty of the Alps in many places, with eagles striking the sky, green grass, wild mountains, sweet springs, snowy mountains, and sheep. Here you can throw away all restraints and run barefoot on the grass.
It's like going through a stunning visual journey.
Around the log cabin where Grandpa and Heidi lived, the grass was green in spring, and the white snow in winter dyed the mountains white, showing the beautiful scenery of Switzerland at the end of the 19th century.
03
Optimism and positivity, good luck
At the beginning of the film, the aunt takes Heidi to the mountain, it is already spring, but Heidi is still wearing heavy clothes and shoes, and it can be seen that the aunt does not care much about Heidi and takes care of her.
In the face of the injustices and blows of life, it is not only the lucky people who are optimistic, on the contrary, because of optimism, there will be good luck.
Heidi's parents died early, and her aunt threw her to her grandfather, whom she had never met, and when grandpa did not accept her, he went to sleep with the lamb.
After seeing Grandma Pete, who can't bite her teeth, tell grandpa that she is a happy person, teach the stubborn Pitt to recognize words, encourage Clara to walk, and little Heidi brings infinite warmth to everyone.

May there be light in your eyes and be brave enough to move forward
Heidi helps everyone, but also has her own troubles. Toward the end of the film, Heidi bows her head and asks Grandma ,"Everyone laughs at me because I want to write stories," which Grandma says they know too little because they only know about the village, but you've seen more things out of this world.
"If there's anything that makes you happy, just do it, no matter what anyone else says."
I was struck by my grandmother's words. Yeah, if there's one thing that makes you happy, why not do it? It may be easier to return to the purest purpose of doing things.
Someone is happy to read, someone is happy to cook, someone likes to write, someone likes photography, whatever you like, grab the thing that makes you happy and meaningful, keep doing it, time will give you the answer.
Those unattainable dreams are also proof that we have seen the larger world. When you are tired, look back at your original intention.
On this cold winter's day, head into the Alps to let the natural beauty and warm stories heal you.
May your life be pure and virtuous, without giving up love and freedom!
