I watched "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" with my children, which is a story of an ordinary person and a dog.
The plot of the story is this: the university professor encounters a poor little Akita dog on the town station, and its lonely figure provokes his pity and brings the little cute back home. Although the wife strongly opposed it and tried her best to send it away, seeing the meticulous care and heartfelt love of her husband and daughter, she finally decided to make it a member of the family, and the professor named it "Hachiko".
Hachiko grew up with the professor's family, and gradually turned from a puppy into a behemoth. Hachiko accompanied the professor to work on time every day, and appeared at the station gate at five o'clock in the evening to greet the professor from work. The stationmasters at the town station, the vendors selling hot dogs and breakfast, and the lady owners of the nearby shops all look at the images they have become accustomed to, and they will take care of Hachiko from time to time. Seeing the professor coming out of the station, Hachiko would jump forward excitedly.
One day the professor went out and Hachiko kept calling. He also picked up a ball in his mouth and ran to the professor, who was excited and happy, and Hachiko finally learned to pick up the ball for the first time, and this scene was also the most precious memory left by the two of them together. On that very day, the professor suddenly collapsed during his college class, died suddenly from a myocardial infarction, and never returned to the station. Hachiko seemed to know that the professor was leaving him, so he kept calling in front of him. As if to tell him, you don't go, don't leave me.
After that, every day at five o'clock in the evening, Hachiko came to the train station to wait and hope. The second day, the third day, and the four seasons of the year are repeated. For nine years, Hachiko remained rain or shine, until it finally slowly closed its eyes and quietly left. Seeing this, my eyes were moist, a touching scene. As "Passing Through Your Whole World" says: I want to be with you forever, and if not, then I will be in a place where you can't see, always waiting for you.
The film is based on a true story. The true story takes place in 1924 when Hachiko in Akita inuyasha was brought to Tokyo by its owner, Ueno Shuzaburo, a professor at the Department of Agriculture at the University of Tokyo. Every morning, Hachiko accompanies Ueno Shuzaburo to the train station, and then in the evening he goes to the nearby Shibuya train station to greet him home from work. This happy life lasted until 1925, one night, Ueno Shuzaburo did not return home as usual, he suddenly suffered a stroke in college, died on the spot, and never returned to the train station, but Hachiko still faithfully waited for him.
