If choosing between "the person I love" and "me",
I wish I had left this world first,
Because I'm selfish, I can't bear it
Living alone to face the pain of all memories,
The dead are gone,
How to be strong in order to regain one's strength, perhaps this cartoon can teach us how to say goodbye.
Three years ago, Japan produced a healing music animation.
It's called "Though Our Hands Are Empty,"
It is about the kinship between the mother sheep and the deceased lamb.
In just 4 minutes, 0 lines, but it broke through 1,800,000 hits on YouTube and 3.17 million plays on NetEase Cloud.
Millions of netizens cried, and people who watched it burst into tears.
The story begins with a house,
The mother sheep died of longing for the lamb,
Shut yourself in your room all day,
Depressed and bedridden.
Even if the postman came knocking on the door, she didn't care,
Instead, he picked up the sweater needle on the ground and threw it at the door,
Sweater needles fall to the ground,
She looked helplessly at the woolen basket on the shelf beside her.
Those woolen threads were meant to be used to knit sweaters for the lambs.
But now things are not human,
Mother sheep who touched the scene,
When I think of the lamb, I can't help but cry,
Continue to lie back on the bed and cover your face with a quilt,
The body convulses from crying.
And all of this,
The lambs of heaven look in the eyes and hurt in their hearts,
He lay down in the clouds and looked down,
He wanted to see his mother again.
But the clouds were too high for him to go down.
The lamb saw the sheep aunt in front of the queue knitting sweaters,
So he borrowed a razor,
Hide aside and shave off all the wool on your body.
The wolf guards responsible for escorting the souls of the sheep into heaven,
Found that there is an abnormality behind the team to check,
The lamb took advantage of the wolf guard's inattention and quietly lined up at the back of the line.
The wolf guard pretended not to see Ni Duan to the shaved lamb,
It's back at the intersection.
The lamb took advantage of the wolf guard's inattention to hide aside,
Weave the sheared wool into a rope,
Sleep on the side,
I don't know how long it took,
All the wool was finally woven into rope.
The lamb threw the rope down from the clouds,
Climb down the rope,
The process of falling is raging with wind and sand, the rope is crumbling, the danger is abnormal,
But the lamb is not afraid at all,
Finally landed smoothly.
The lamb ran quickly to the door,
The soul enters directly through the door,
The lamb pounced on the mother sheep,
Holding his mother and shouting, "Mom, look at me!" ”
But let the lambs try to call,
Try to attract the attention of the mother sheep,
The mother sheep never saw the lambs. The farthest distance in the world is that I stand in front of you, but you can't see me, which is the distance between life and death.
Soon the inspecting wolf guards flew down
Pull the fleeing lamb away from the mother sheep,
Bring it back to the cloud.
Although the lamb struggled reluctantly,
The wolf guard remained unmoved,
Coldly took the lamb away.
After the lamb was taken away,
The mother sheep suddenly felt a kind of strength,
It seems to feel that the lamb has come,
Memories of being together are opened,
Little by little, it appeared in front of you.
When you think about me, it's that I'm thinking about you.
The lamb is very clingy and often holds itself and coddles,
I had to tell him a story every night before I would obediently go to sleep.
Pestering himself to make him a crown,
He said he was going to be king.
Memories come like a tidal wave,
The mother sheep decided not to sink any longer, in order to fulfill the wishes of the lamb,
The mother sheep took out the sweater that had not been finished under the bed,
Re-knit it a little bit.
Finally knit the sweater before the sun sets,
The mother sheep walked out of the house with the knitted sweater,
Against the sky, a gust of wind blew, and the sweater landed right on the lamb.
The lamb who had been caught back looked depressed,
I have been worried about whether my mother can bounce back up.
Soon it will be my turn to cross the river,
After crossing the river, there is no going back.
Suddenly, the lamb had an extra sweater on his body,
It was the one that my mother had promised.
The lamb also understood that this was her mother's blessing to herself,
So the lamb let go of all his worries,
Jumping across the river in the sweater my mother knitted.
When the soul crosses the river of reincarnation,
All things outside the body will disappear,
The lamb crossed the river,
The crown on his head is gone,
But the sweater knitted by the mother sheep is still there.
Because love is never something outside the body.
Become an angel's lamb on the other side of the river,
Inadvertently glimpsed a large shaved piece of the wolf guard's back,
Only then did I suddenly understand why two knots of the rope were gray, and why the lamb woke up from sleep and the rope was woven.
It turned out that the wolf guard was worried that the rope was not long enough,
So he secretly took advantage of the fact that the lamb was asleep,
Cut off your own hair and put it in,
He also helped the lamb to weave the rope.
It turned out that the wolf guard was cold on the outside, but so gentle on the inside. There is always someone in the world who quietly loves you.
When night falls,
The mother sheep looked into the clouds and said goodbye to the lambs.
The wolf angel waved his cane in his hand,
The rope hanging from the clouds was turned into a brilliant starlight as a comfort to the mother sheep.
As the lyrics say:
"I have a gift I want to present to you,
It was a lonely night,
The sky will still be shining in the distance."
Short 4-minute short film,
We are touched by the thoughts of the mother sheep,
Touched by the efforts made by the lamb to see her mother,
Touched by the warmth of the wolf guard silently helping the lamb,
They make us feel the warmth and strength of the world.
Some people say that if your important person dies,
You feel very sad, you have been sad and miserable for a long time,
But suddenly one day you start not to feel sad, you feel a force, you have the power to cheer up,
You start doing good things, remembering each other,
Maybe the other party is reluctant to let you grieve, come back and hug you.
Liao Yimei wrote in "The Flower of Pessimism":
"In our lifetime,
To suffer the pain of leaving a loved one,
It could be a breakup, it could be death,
Even if we had been prepared, we could not afford it. ”
Even if our loved ones leave us,
Those who remain should not lose their enthusiasm and hope for life,
Because all your unhappiness will make the person who leaves worry.
Learn to be relieved, to turn sadness into strength,
Those memories are the best proof that he has ever been,
It's the motivation that keeps us going.
"Dream Quest" said: "Death is not the end, forgetting is." ”
Live better in place of the deceased,
This is the best farewell to the deceased.
As the lyrics say:
"Though our hands are empty,
But it can be held in a tight bond,
Don't be confused when you're alone,
Because I won't let go at any time. ”
Believe that those who leave must be angels guarding us,
Even though our hands are empty,
But love is always around us.
