"What would you think if one day no one liked you and remembered you?"
"It's okay, I'll remember them, isn't that okay?" Hahahahaha...."
What is the "retirement life" you are looking forward to?
"What is the end of life?"
Perhaps the answer can be found in this documentary.
The old man in the video is called Dou Guoquan, a native of Longquan Township, Yuzhong County, an older generation of calligraphy and painting workers in the northwest, a member of the Gansu Provincial Artists Association, who has devoted himself to the creation of film propaganda posters and Chinese paintings for more than 40 years, and has been awarded the title of outstanding individual by the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television.
Although he suffered from Parkinson's, he clasped his hands and recorded the appearance of his old friends who had participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and recorded the faces that he thought were still strong despite his old age....
He said that he had painted all his life and wanted to paint what he liked. Walking in the forest and seeing a dead tree, he immediately took out a pen and looked at it straight, clenching his hands and drawing finely.....
He ascended to the top of the city and remembered the golden city he had struggled for, but he still drew the most beautiful look of the city he felt was at the moment.
Those departed relatives, toiling villagers, beloved land, beautiful cities, gentle Yellow River mothers also left the most beautiful and vivid silhouettes in his paintings...
Although many young people who "lie flat" are looking forward to "retirement life", how happy it is to raise flowers every day, fish fish, suck cats, and live a life full of leisure and entertainment, but there are also many people who are afraid of aging, when we enter old age, how much energy is left in the body to choose happiness?
"I am a steamed, uncooked, hammered, fried, and resounding as a copper pea;" "I can also play Go, I can stomp, I can play, I can gag, I can sing and dance, I can blow bombs, I can chew swallows, I can chant poetry, I can double land." You have lost my teeth, crooked my mouth, lame my legs, broken my hands, and given me all these kinds of evil symptoms, and you still refuse to rest. ”
——Guan Hanqing, "Disobeying the Old"
Back to the question at the beginning
"What is the 'retirement' you're looking forward to?"
It may be nothingness, it may be ease,
It may also be nostalgia, it may be nostalgia...
So, "What is the end of life?" ”
This answer is not easy to define,
But he said, "It's life." Even if it is not liked in the end,
Be remembered, I remember them just fine...."
The documentary "Nian Xiang" is a key documentary project of the Propaganda Department of the Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the film spent 5 years in a plain shooting method to track and shoot the deep feelings and thoughts of an old man with Parkinson's disease in Yuzhong County for his wife, mother, and the land of Gansu.
