<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="83" > Brazilian "Fugui", live, just to live</h1>
Ron, 42, was born in a rural Brazilian family of eight siblings, the second oldest. At the age of 8, his grandfather, who loved him the most since childhood, died of heart disease.
Because of the large number of brothers and sisters, the father and mother went to the big city very early to take the eldest brother and the fourth sister with them, so Ron and the remaining sisters were left in the countryside, and after the death of the grandfather, the only elder in the family was the grandmother with leg and foot problems.
Brazil has a 4-year compulsory education, so Ron went out to work early, and his meager salary was barely enough to buy something for his sisters.
Seven years after his grandfather's death, 15-year-old Ron lost his grandmother. When his parents returned, they hurriedly buried them and rushed back to the city.
Bad luck does not seem to spare this rural family, and the year after the grandmother's death, the young seventh sister accidentally drowned while playing in the river.
This was followed by his father, whom he had not seen much since Ron was born, who was killed in a work accident, and the compensation for this accident was taken away by Ron's mother, leaving only Ron 5,000 reais (about 6,000 yuan), which Ron used almost entirely to support the schooling of his fifth and sixth sisters.
The fifth sister and the sixth sister were very competitive, both admitted to the state university, the fifth sister after graduation, into a multinational company as a financial work, and the sixth sister met a Paraguayan student during the university study, after graduation, she married another country.
Ron's fourth sister has been living with Ron's mother, after Ron's father died of a work injury, the fourth sister went to the stepfather's city with her mother's remarriage, but the stepfather was a bastard who was in trouble all day, and in a drunken domestic violence, he actually lost his hand and beat his mother to death! So the fourth sister, who was not yet married, could only choose to return to the countryside and live with Ron and the third sister who married in the same village.
Because Ron used all of his father's pension to finance schooling, the fifth sister of zhien Tu bao has been trying to take Ron and the fourth sister to the city to live together.
The fifth sister drove to pick up Ron and the fourth sister, but when she returned to the city, a sudden car accident took the lives of the fourth sister and the fifth sister, and Ron, who escaped from death, flew out more than 5 meters away and woke up to find that he had lost the hearing of his right ear forever.
And last year, a tragic epidemic took the life of Ron's big brother who was far away.
Ron did not understand why Heaven had to let his loved ones die in an unnatural way again and again, and the abnormal death of his family one by one crushed Ron on the spiritual level. If a person lives for the sake of emotion, then all of Ron's emotions have no sustenance.
Today, Ron, the living relatives, are only the three sisters in the same village, and the sixth sister who is married to a foreign country.
With no culture or livelihood skills, he had to feed himself by fishing, Ron said, and every day vendors would come to collect fish.
Fishing sells for money and then gets through today alive.
If Ron's encounter is the unbearable weight of life, then the following one shows us a Japanese who is trapped by love.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="81" > six years of life and death</h1>
His name is Isutanigawa, 39 years old, a native of Tokyo, Japan, graduated from Akita University in the early years, is a well-known institution in Japan's TOP50, after graduation into a multinational manufacturing company to work, ten years of conscientious work, relying on their own excellent technical level and work attitude, rose to middle management.
Five years after graduating, Tanigawa met his wife, who was 4 years younger than himself, and soon the two married and had a lovely daughter.
However, the bland marriage soon consumed the couple's passion, and the two points and one line day after day also made Tanigawa feel dull.
When Tanigawa was 32 years old, the appearance of a young woman ignited Tanigawa's passion, her name was Nanzawako, and she was an intern at Tanigawa's company. When facing the camera, Tanigawa tells a forbidden love buried deep in his heart.
With a 12-year age difference and the fact that he was married, Tanigawa repeatedly maintained his distance from Nanzawako, but under the vitality of the young girl, Tanigawa still fell. In order not to carry heavy moral pressure, he and Nanzawazi seriously planned the future of the two.
But the pressure came first from Tanigawa's family, not only Tanigawa's wife refused to divorce, but also Tanigawa's elderly parents were very opposed to his son abandoning his wife and daughter to marry a woman outside.
Not only that, but even if Tanigawa could get a divorce, Nanzawako's family would not be able to accept it. When Nanzawako's parents learn that their only daughter is in love with a middle-aged man 12 years older than her, they firmly oppose it, and in order to prevent Nanzawa and Tanigawa from meeting, the parents first prevent their daughter from leaving the house, and then choose to move out of the city where the two work.
The forbidden love between Yūta Tanigawa and Nanzawako, which is not tolerated in the world, has developed to this point, and it has been very entangled, and in the final stage of their relationship, one day, Tanigawa received a call from Nanzawako.
Tanigawa can't get married, even if she is divorced, Nanzawako's family will not allow the two people to be together, under the dilemma, the young girl who has never been in the world chooses to take her own life, the last phone call, she chooses to call the man she loves, perhaps not to ask the other party to be martyred, just to get Tanigawa's same heartfelt promise.
Looking at his young daughter, although grief-stricken, Tanigawa did not choose to be martyred with Nanzawako, but he also carried a mental pressure that ordinary people could not understand.
Because of Nanzawako's parents, Tanigawa has no way of knowing where Nanzawa is buried, so fishing in this small river is the only way Tanigawa can remember his former lover.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86" > people are miserable in middle age, and they are not willing to die at the right time</h1>
If the above two are slightly dramatic, then the middle-aged man who likes to fish below is very grounded, which perfectly explains why men like to fish.
Kim Man Sung, a South Korean, 37 years old.
There is no parting with the life and death of his family, and there is no sadomasochism that breaks the world, Jin Wancheng is just an ordinary freight driver.
In addition to facing tons of goods waiting to be delivered every day, it is the endless oil, salt and vinegar at home.
Jin Wancheng likes to fish, but he doesn't like fish, and he never even cares about whether he can really gain something after sitting quietly all night. We don't know what he was thinking when he quietly looked at the river.
South Korea is known to be a high-pressure society, and many times, the responsibilities that middle-aged married men have to bear are very similar to those in China. Men are given too many social responsibilities, and the burden that needs to be carried is not fatal, but it is enough to be breathless.
Jin Wancheng as a driver actually has a decent income, and once carried his wife outside to find fun, but the huge sense of emptiness after the stimulation made him feel that he was not as happy as fishing, so he picked up the fishing rod and fished all night when he was resting.
Only when fishing can Kim Wan-sung not have to worry about road conditions, do not have to worry about patrolling police cars, do not have to hand cigarettes to the functional departments that set up cards at toll booths, do not have to face the tuition fees of nearly one million won a month for their daughters, and do not have to face his wife's endless complaints and nagging.
All Jin Wancheng needed was rest, just a quiet environment, nothing more.
Kim Wan-sung likes to play Chinese mobile games and has a crazy crush on football, but he is disliked by his wife as not doing his job. Fishing alone, the wife is not too disgusted.
Thinking about work, thinking of his elderly parents, thinking about why his classmates of the same age as himself, some of whom had already bought luxury houses in Jiangnan District, and thinking about how long he would have to drive the truck, Jin Wancheng felt as if everything in life was still possible, and he had already seen his head at a glance.
People are miserable in middle age, and everything is not satisfactory, but they are more than enough than the upper and lower. This dullness itself is not desperate, just being in it, but it always feels suffocating.
Mr. Kim said that another friend who often fished with him, they often fished all night, here, no noise, no fireworks, not so much fishing, but more appropriately than fishing, but meditating.
Lonely?
Tired?
Heartache?
Isn't that what life, especially a man's life, is that? Happiness is nothing more than an intermission between two pains. Maybe fishing can make this break a little longer.
