<h1 class="ql-long-17389531" > what you love should be your own life</h1>
In the past few days, "Back Wave" has burst the circle of friends, and I have never followed the trend. After reading it, I remembered a sentence: "What you love is your life!" ”
Many people say: "What I love to do, often do not earn money, earn money, often do not love to do, fish and bear paws can not be both." ”
And sometimes, we hear that so-and-so is doing what he loves, and at the same time he has earned money, and we are all envious.
So, what is "what you love"? Have you found something you've loved all your life?
A Japanese film made in 2006, Seagull Cafeteria, tells the story of "living the life you love." This movie, with a warm, slow rhythm to interpret an adult fairy tale, with everything you like, do what you like to do, life is so simple and happy.
The film is based on a group of Yoko's masterpiece "Seagull Canteen", directed by Naoko Hagigami. On Douban, the score is as high as 8.3, and more than 50,000 people have commented on it, which is deeply loved by the audience.
The success of the film, in addition to exquisite scenes, lovely food, successful character building, but also a simple and profound philosophy of life, more importantly, a deep reflection on the search for poetry and distant places.
"Seagull Canteen" tells the story of a young Japanese woman who comes to Finland alone, opens a small canteen, does not worry about turnover, and lives an ideal slow life. By chance, I met two other companions from Japan, sharing past life experiences with each other, running a canteen together, and living a good life every day.
Best-selling author Ning Yuan said in his book "With Everything You Like": "They have the power to grind out the life in inertia, grind out the taste they want, happiness is like this, unhappiness is also like this." Live in the small details that are taken for granted and ignored. ”
So, how do you make what you love life? The answer is not difficult to find, through the three women with different personalities in this movie. In the process of discovering the beautiful side of life with a delicate eye, we come together to feel how to pursue the ideal life.

<h1 class="ql-long-17389531" > Yukihye only does what she likes: make life simple and heal life's difficulties</h1>
After losing her cat and mother, the owner of the Seagull Canteen, Yukie chose to come to Finland to live again and run the uninhabited restaurant alone.
Although Yukie is not young, she has the gentleness of a girl, slowly wiping every cup and doing every job very carefully. Especially every time she cooks, the corners of her mouth have a smile of enjoyment, which warms people's hearts.
The main food of the Seagull Canteen is rice balls, which are a very simple food, and there is nothing special about the taste. However, onigiri is a traditional Japanese food, and because it has placed his father's love for Yukie, he also wants to spread his own love.
There is a line in the film: Some things are plain, but they are really delicious. Onigiri is such a simple and natural delicacy, just as Yuki hye pursues a life back to basics.
Despite the dismal business of Yukihye's restaurant, she cleans the restaurant every day, changes into fresh flowers every day, smiles at passers-by who stop outside the window every day, and only does what she likes.
The famous Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho said in the allegorical novel "The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy":
"When we try to make ourselves better than we are now, everything around us will also get better."
In the film, Yukihye opens the canteen she yearns for, insists on doing Aikido, swimming, and turns life into simple and pure, down-to-earth and quiet, and life becomes what she loves.
What Xinghui represents is the philosophy of life of "keeping one thing in the heart", not without sadness, but putting aside the sadness and dissatisfaction in life, and striving to make yourself live a good life in yourself.
Everyone who comes to the Seagull Canteen has their own sad past, and Yukie provides a place for everyone to heal themselves. This is not only the trait of the characters in the film, but also the way we live. With dreams and expectations, we seek poetry and distance, only to be healed by the tranquility and tranquility of our present life.
Turn life into what you love

<h1 class="ql-long-17389531" > Xiaolu is loyal to his inner choice: happiness is not waiting, it must be created from ordinary life</h1>
Little Green is the second protagonist in the film, she is tall, strange-looking, and not good at talking. Confused about life, I came to Finland with my eyes closed and a finger on the map. Her first appearance was on the tram, looking a little dazed, perhaps immersed in the past and unable to extricate herself, or perhaps in a silent and closed way, in a strange environment to protect herself.
One day, Yukihye went to the library to pass the time, and happened to meet Xiao Lu, who was reading the Japanese edition of the book, and the two talked happily. Therefore, Yukihye invited Xiaolu, who lived alone in the hotel, to live with him, and Xiaolu took the initiative to stay and run the restaurant with Yukihide in order to thank Yukihye for her care.
From many details in the film, you can see the shadow of Xiao Lu's past: the lyrics of the cartoon theme song are reversed, the sudden crying during eating, and many moments to comfort others..... If it is said that Xinghui is a person with a clear goal and is not hurried, then Xiaolu is a person who is restrained and inferior, warm and kind.
Xiao Lu said an impressive sentence in the movie, she said: "Even if I am depressed now and live a messy life, it will not bring new changes." Later, in order to get rid of her sad past, she chose to come to Finland, choose a new life, and do her best to integrate.
The famous French "existentialist" philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said:
"Man is the only one who directs his own actions, but he is responsible for his own choices. ”
"Choice" is very energetic, it means that you take responsibility for your actions, you create happiness for your life. No matter where you live, no matter where you live, happiness is different from person to person, and the problem is what you have to do. For example, Xiao Lu, even if she can only communicate in Japanese, greets finns with a smile and actively helps Yukie to improve the restaurant operation.... On the surface, she is at ease with her encounters, but in fact she can stick to her principles.
The stubborn little green on the outside and soft on the inside let us see: no matter where you live, no matter what kind of life you choose, enjoying your choice is a kind of happiness. Because all our happiness is created by ourselves in ordinary life.
In ordinary life, in a warm environment, we strive to find peace and happiness, maybe it is not simple to do so, but also try to try.
Because all our happiness is created by ourselves in ordinary life.

<h1 class="ql-long-17389531" > Masako out of dazed loss: firmly believe in the road of life, and dig deep into the happiness buried in the heart</h1>
One of the main characters in the film at the end of the film is Masako, who has been caring for her sick parents in bed for many years, and has been unloading the burden of more than twenty years after the death of her parents. Although the film does not explain Masako's past, we can infer some information: Masako took care of her parents for many years should be unmarried, childless, and even without her own life, so she longs to live for herself once.
Masako said that she had accidentally seen the news on TV, that Finland had air guitar competitions, sauna patience competitions, etc., and that all kinds of strange competitions on TV, those Who were serious about doing a seemingly silly thing, touched her. Masako's heart, which had long lost its vitality under the pressure of life, was awakened.
Masako travels to Finland in search of freedom and self, but loses her luggage on a transit flight and ends up floating to the Seagull Canteen. Seemingly accidental things, in fact, are the result of choice.
In the film, Masako's first and second appearances are sad, and then when she returns from the forest to the "Seagull Canteen", she is radiant and like a new life.
Masako also helps out at the "Seagull Canteen", and the three women live together in a calm and interesting life. The finally retrieved suitcase also hints that she has a chance to choose again, but now Masako is no longer the original "low sense of self-worth", she solves the puzzle in the dense forest, and finds herself in the seagull canteen.
Revisiting this film many times, whenever I see Masako's smile, I am always inexplicably moved by this picture. I looked at Masako's smile and imagined her picking mushrooms in the forest, healing herself, digging herself out........ When I think this way, an indescribable power and joy grow from the bottom of my heart. Happiness is not obtained from others, but is buried deep in one's own heart, waiting for oneself to discover.
Happiness is buried deep within oneself
<h1 class="ql-long-17389531">05 </h1>
<h1 class="ql-long-17389531" > keep yourself quiet and determined, and turn life into something you love</h1>
Everyone who came with grief later left with a grateful and peaceful heart. It is not so much that the seagull canteen has such magic, but that after they recognize the truth of life, they live sincerely and enthusiastically, and strive to create their own happiness in ordinary life. What this movie wants to convey is actually done, and the life you choose is what you love.
Psychology has a term called "self-worth", people with a high sense of self-worth, feel good, love life, and a person can also live well. People with a low sense of self-worth will feel that the departure of people close to them will take everything away from them, and will show all kinds of abnormalities, frustration and despair.
In today's "exhausted for life" today, people will appear more impetuous most of the time, in fact, it is the performance of the low "sense of self-worth", so they are more and more eager to seek the fun of a simple and plain life.
In The Pleasure Disorder, it is mentioned that true self-recognition comes from within oneself. In other words, only when we learn to recognize our own value can we be our true selves and explore the happiness in ordinary life.
There are three suggestions for "improving self-worth" put forward in the book, which we also deserve to learn:
Courage to refuse unreasonable demands: When someone makes a request to you, bravely refuse the other person's unreasonable request, even if it may be criticized, so that you can not be controlled by other people's demands.
Courage to express negative emotions: Fear of conflict, ignoring the real voice and thoughts in your heart, you should be brave to break down the obstacles in your heart, no matter how much pressure you are under, speak out about your grievances and sadness, and tell yourself that I have the right to say "no".
When there is no unity of opinion, it is not easy to give up: euphemistically express your own views, and issues involving principles cannot be compromised.
What we see through "Seagull Canteen" is not only the persistence and pursuit of life, but also many spiritual connotations, such as plain persistence, adherence to the belief of one heart, silent payment and so on. In reality, it is important to improve our sense of self-worth, maintain our own tranquility and determination, and turn life into something we love.
