Japanese director Naoko made a documentary called "I'm Stupid, Please Advise Me," in which she spent three years tracking the daily routine of her parents, who were over ninety years old. Her mother was originally a strong and independent person. But suffering from dementia, when she has an emotional breakdown, she will cry and shout: "I don't want to live, let me die" "Go get me a knife!" ”
When aging comes, we don't know what difficulties we will encounter, and many times we can only accept this sad fact helplessly. At such times, only family affection can help us get through these difficulties.
Swedish writer Frederick Buckman has a masterpiece of the "Heartwarming Trilogy": "A Man Named Ovie Decided to Die", "Grandma's Apology Letter", "List of Life", and the amazing international "Bear Town" series.
He also studied a short novel, and it is also a book I would recommend: "The Long Way Home".
He described the fear and uneasiness that came with the gradual loss of memory, or "thought", but there was a strong love and affection between the lines. In the story, there is a grandfather looking for his way home in the loving thoughts of his relatives, and there is also a reconciliation and farewell between the boy and his grandfather, father and son.
Whether our life is long or short, it is always inevitable to lose relatives, and we always taste life in "meeting" and "saying goodbye".
For example, Mr. Yang Dai's "The Two of Us" rubs all thoughts into that "long dream". A "Long Way Home" can awaken the affection between us and our parents and children, and it can also be a little more tolerant and forgive.
