A train winds out of the tunnel, flanked by lush green trees. In the carriage, the boys and girls stood opposite each other, each holding a book, and the love of their youth began.
The film "Love Wind and Dust" directed by Hou Xiaoxian was released in 1987. In this film, the girl Ah Yun and the boy Ah Yuan are in junior high school at the same school in the village, the two are neighbors, the parents know each other, and the pair naturally become good partners to take care of each other. Slowly, a hazy and beautiful feeling sprouted in the hearts of the two.
On the way home, Ah Yuan will take the initiative to help Ah Yun carry the rice bag, and Ah Yun will also take Ah Yuan's school bag very naturally, and the two will walk along the railway, walk through the country road, walk through the cottage, until Ah Yuan sends Ah Yun home. Despite the poor living conditions, the Ah Yuan family still lived happily, and the local simple folk customs penetrated into every household in the village. Ah Yuan's father injured his leg in an accident at work, and after Ah Gong and Ah Yuan went to the station to pick up his discharged father, Ah Yuan told his father that he wanted to give up the idea of going to high school and going to Taipei to find a job, and his father agreed. After Ah Yuan settled in Taipei, Ah Yun also followed his footsteps to Taipei. Ah Yuan often visits Ah Yun in the place where Ah Yun works after work, and the two walk together, talking about their lives and concerns for their families.
When they were young, their feelings were simple and green, and teenagers were always ashamed to express their love, a concerned look, an urgent greeting, and a look, all contained endless lovesickness and concern. Ah Yuan and Ah Yun never say how much they love each other, but convey their love with practical actions. At a party with friends, Ah Yun drank at the instigation of his companions, and afterwards Ah Yuan looked displeased and scolded Ah Yun for "girls also drinking with people". This kind of care may seem unreasonable today, but when we are young, we are always clumsy in the face of love. Clumsy, but sincere. Ah Yuan became ill because of the tracheitis fever, Ah Yun came to his residence, brought a washbasin, put a wet towel on the other person's forehead, and guarded his bedside with concern. The first sentence that Ah Yun said when he saw Ah Yuan wake up was: "Ah Yuan, are you awake, will you be hungry?" A dangling heart finally let go, revealing a clean and warm smile. When Ah Yuan watched Ah Yun leave, although he didn't say anything on his mouth, there was endless thought and reluctance in his eyes.
The two people who originally thought they would accompany each other like this were broken up by a sudden recruitment letter. Ah Yuan set off to the sound of firecrackers in the early morning. The life of the army is boring and repetitive, and Ah Yuan's greatest pleasure every day is to read the letter written by Ah Yun, and Ah Yun said on the letter: "There are still 387 days before you are discharged from the army, 387, and it will be a long time from the beginning." "The other people in the army are looking for fun, and Ah Yuan is far from being moved, thinking of Ah Yun every day and trying to save money for his future life." However, gradually, Ah Yun's letters came less and less, and the letters sent by Ah Yuan were also returned one by one, and the postmark showed that "there was no such person", which made Ah Yuan very depressed. Finally, one day, he learned from a letter from his brother that Ah Yun was married. All the sadness and reluctance turned into tears and fell in large drops.
The life of the army is over, Ah Yuan returned to the platform where he had set off, but the people who accompanied him at that time were gone, even if he was wearing the clothes that his sweetheart had made for himself at that time. The clouds of the hometown are still floating high in the sky as before, the mountains of the hometown are still emerald green, children play in the noisy cicadas, and the feelings of youth turn into a sigh in the wind.
The reason why Ah Yun married the postman is unknown, perhaps the paper appeal of a distant lover is better than the whispers of a living boy in real life, perhaps a panic about the future, or a pressure from the family. Those young feelings always seem to start like this, ignorantly, and we can't even tell how it ended. At the end of the film, Grandpa said that fate cannot be forced. We may have felt sorry and regretted the love of our youth, but those sincere and pure feelings have become beautiful and precious beings.
The clouds of your hometown float slowly, and the past is full of past events in the wind.
