31 years old, no house, no car, no girlfriend, no money, not even a job, but completed things that ordinary people can't accomplish.
Such a bold male protagonist setting successfully caught my attention.
For 99 consecutive episodes, dragging the last breath to recommend this masterpiece for the audience's grandfathers -
< h1 class="ql-align-center" > "Space Brothers"</h1>
Created by the famous Japanese manga artist Yaya Oyama, "Cosmic Brothers" has been a huge hit in Japan since December 2007, setting off a "cosmic fever".
The 2012 TV animation produced by A-1 not only faithfully restored the original work, but also the picture, soundtrack, and voice actor performance are also perfect, exuding an atmosphere of affluence everywhere, and even inviting real-life astronauts to voice the animation. (It's just too long, a total of 99 episodes)
And the opening mention is our male protagonist, Nanbo Liutai.
At the age of 31, he not only works as an automotive designer in a large company, but also wins design awards, which can be said to be a small achievement.
He was supposed to take the path of promotion and salary increase to win Bai Fumei, and after using a head mallet on his superiors, he became an elderly unemployed vagrant.
(Dangerous actions, please do not imitate oh)
The rest of life can only be summed up in the word bitterness.
Not only was he expelled from the company dormitory, forced to return to his hometown, but also faced with his parents who were increasingly disgusted with him all day.
Even looking for a new job was repeatedly rejected because of the revenge of the original boss.
The gavel that made Rokutai pay such a price was for his own brother, the Nampo rijin.
His younger brother, Nichiren, is an excellent astronaut who is training at NASA in the United States.
Not only that, but he is also about to become Japan's first lunar lander, which is being sought after by all of Japan at this time.
Such a proud brother was attacked by the boss who said bad things, and the angry six too did the head hammer attack.
(Younger brother Ofan Bož)
Why did my brother become an astronaut?
In fact, this was the common dream of the brothers.
Born in 1993, his older brother, Liu Tai, felt that he was very unlucky since he was a child, and often felt inferior because of it, which also formed his pessimistic character.
Born in 1996, his younger brother Nampozhiri is the opposite of his older brother and is an optimistic and optimistic optimist.
Although the brothers are three years apart and have different personalities, the two are very good, and it can be said that they are inseparable.
In 2006, during a night exploratory, the brothers witnessed an incredible phenomenon.
A glowing UFO expanded in the air, then sped up and flew toward the moon.
The scene in front of them deeply shocked the brothers.
The accustomed moon became incomparably mysterious at this time, arousing their endless imagination.
There was only one thought left in the minds of the two, that is, to become an astronaut and go to the moon!
So, on that unforgettable night, the two brothers agreed to become astronauts together.
The dream was planted.
In 2025, nearly two decades have passed since that night.
As an older brother, compared to the younger brother who realizes his dreams step by step, he can't even find a suitable job.
The reality gap is frustrating.
Just when the exhausted Liu Tai wanted to give up everything, the arrival of a courier broke the deadlock.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, referred to as JAXA (Japan's version of NASA), sent a notice of written qualification review for the selection of new astronauts.
It turned out that after the younger brother learned of the current situation of unemployment in the sixth wife, he asked his mother to register for the astronaut selection examination for his brother.
Of the 1,225 people, only 315 passed the written review, and Liu Tai was one of them.
The road that had been dreamed of for years was within reach at this point.
However, Liu Tai hesitated.
It is precisely because it is a dream since childhood, so when it is close at hand, I dare not let go of my hands and feet to do it.
He was afraid that he would not be able to pass the exam, afraid of the bamboo basket hitting the water empty, afraid of turning his dream into an empty joy.
Aunt Sharon, an astronomer who had always been good friends with the brothers, did not directly persuade him, but talked about his childhood.
When the sixth wife was asked which instrument to play when she was a child, he replied that it was all, because he didn't know if he didn't try it all.
After the test, he chose the trumpet, because the trumpet is the most difficult to make a sound among these instruments.
Time certainly makes people grow, but it also wears away his curiosity about the world and the courage to challenge difficulties.
Whether it's 11 years old or 31 years old, if you don't take that first step, everything can't start.
Finally, Liu Tai let go of all his scruples and was determined to realize the dream he had shelved for twenty years.
In this long exam with dreams, the situation of the sixth wife is frequent.
Before the tense interview, I dropped my phone into the toilet.
During the interview, in front of a large number of examiners, he found that the screws under his chair were loose, and he tried to screw the screws back, resulting in a distorted sitting position throughout the interview, unable to concentrate on answering questions.
What was even more tragic was that at the end of the last round, the chair was directly broken, and the sixth lady was on all fours in front of the examiner.
Although the exam process was full of twists and turns, in the process, Rokutai met a group of like-minded friends.
Good friend Zhenbi Kenji, who is down-to-earth and reliable.
Stable job, gentle wife, lovely daughter, he has everything he should have at this age.
Except for the big goal that has nowhere to go— to go to Mars.
The heroine, Ito Seisha, is optimistic and strong.
On the outside, he is a cute foodie, and his daily diary details the food he has eaten.
In order to study disease in space, he set the dual goal of becoming a doctor and an astronaut from an early age.
Now, as a doctor, she heads into space!
Naoto Fukuda, the oldest age candidate for this exam, is 54 years old.
Build a Japanese manned rocket and take it to the universe.
The dream he wrote down in the sixth grade of elementary school took him a lifetime to realize.
And this last chance, he gambled everything he had to challenge.
This group of candidates has men and women, old and young, from different places of origin and occupation.
But because they share a common yearning for the universe, they come together.
Even to others, astronauts are not a good job.
Not only is the salary not as high as imagined, but he is also busy with training every day and cannot spend time with his family.
What's more, the job can be life-threatening at any time.
Even his younger brother, who is the protagonist, encounters a life-and-death crisis during a mission on the moon.
But everyone already knows this.
Every astronaut will write his suicide note in advance to prepare for his departure.
Every training is to prevent problems before they occur and avoid the mistakes that have been made by previous generations.
At the end of the day, death is inevitable, but within the limits of control, they choose to fly freely.
And at the moment when death really comes, there is no fear, no regret, and after doing what you can, you can accept the fate calmly.
When there were only twenty seconds left in his life, the attitude of the three astronauts was moving.
One reports the cause of the accident in detail to headquarters in order to facilitate subsequent accident investigations.
One regrets that he did not listen to his newly purchased CD, and the TV series he is chasing has only seen the sixth episode.
One laughed and said, "You stopped in a good place, and after the sixth episode of that TV series became super boring."
What kind of group of astronauts can face life and death in this way?
It takes only 8 minutes for the rocket to leave Earth and go into space.
But it took them ten, twenty, even a lifetime to get on the rocket.
For decades, risking one's life, just for 8 minutes to rush out of the earth.
Countless sweats and tears, just for this moment, just for this scene, is there anything more romantic than this?
Not only can you enjoy such a spectacular view, but you can also share it with your brothers who are connected by blood, this experience is a unique experience.
His younger brother, Ri-Riren, has been working hard for twenty years with such a dream, looking forward to the day when the two can meet on the moon.
But his brother, Liu Tai, succumbed to reality and spent twenty years persuading himself to forget the dream of an astronaut.
Fortunately, however, my younger brother, who struggled alone in a foreign country, never gave up for a moment.
He decided that the sixth wife would definitely become an astronaut, would definitely come here, train together, and go to space together.
So when talking about the sixth wife, he always says that his brother will also become an astronaut, but now he is preparing.
If you don't forget it, there will be an echo.
This long wait has finally heard back.
Although he is older, although he has taken many long detours, although he is still far from the day when his dream is realized.
Even so, Liu Tai's heart was full of energy, and she identified with herself from the bottom of her heart.
Because every day after that, it will be a day closer to the dream.
For twenty years, he insisted on his beliefs wholeheartedly, and there was never an option other than an astronaut in his eyes, which was his brother's way of life.
Although he struggled and gave up, he finally chose to follow his heart and catch up, which is his brother's way of life.
I hope that everyone can be like their brother, stay optimistic, insist on love, and live the most wonderful self.
If you haven't done it yet, I hope you can have your brother's courage to start over and open up your own path.
