Douban's 8.4-point movie "Love Notebook" tells the story of a pair of green plum bamboo horses, reunited after World War II.
This unforgettable story was written in a notebook by the old man, who would go to the nursing home every day to tell his wife who had lost his memory about their stories, over and over again, and I can't remember how many times it was told.
Joa was a poor man in the factory, while Ellie was the most popular white rich beauty at the time, a good-looking, cheerful personality, and full of curiosity.
Joa fell in love with her at first sight.
When she was young, in order to let her see herself more, he risked his life to swing around the crane, just to get a date with her.
Ellie was startled by this madman.
The first date between the two was particularly different. That night, when the lights were on and the streets were empty, Joa encouraged Ellie to lie on the road, and at first Ellie was strenuously opposed, it was really too bad, she was a lady.
Unable to resist Ruoya's inducement, the two young people lay on the road with a worried and excited mood, Ellie was so crazy for the first time, she smiled cheerfully, bright and moving, and Ruoya was deeply attracted by her smile.
Later, they fell in love. Like many ordinary couples, they would quarrel and have a cold war, but they would soon reconcile, usually Ellie lost her temper, and Joya listened silently, waiting for her to calm down.
However, the good times did not last long, and the gap between the poor and the rich was always there. When Ellie's parents learn that the two are in love, they lock her in their home to prevent her from seeing Noah again.
At the same time, Ellie's father also met with Joya, and from his questioning, he deeply knew that he could not give Ellie a luxurious life now.
But the young girl was full of love and just wanted to be with him, regardless of it.
Joa ponders the future of the two, he wants to give Ellie the best life possible, and now he has no ability, he should not tie her up.
There were so many reasons to give up, but knowing that when she was leaving, he would rather tie up than be with her.
However, the last meeting was missed.
After the outbreak of World War II, Ruoya joined the army, and Ellie met another man in another country, a soldier, very business-minded, Ellie's parents were very satisfied, and it didn't take long for the two to get engaged.
Ellie didn't deliberately forget Joya, but she hadn't seen her for too long, and her memory was a little blurred. Unconsciously, she sees the soldier as Joya, and she does not find out until she meets Joya again.
When she stood in front of the white house, the memories of the past came like waves, and it turned out that Joa had always remembered the life she wanted.
Even she had forgotten how long she had not been able to do what she liked to do as she had done when she was young, without being bound by anyone.
And in Joa's case, she can always be herself.
After all these years, his heart still only loved her.
The two former lovers revisited the same place again, and the hidden heart burned fiercely, dry wood, unable to restrain it.
The person who loves deeply, even if he only sees it again, can no longer walk.
At the end of the story, Ellie gives up her princess-like life and returns to this cottage with Joa, where they have been in love for many years. It wasn't until she was about to die that Ellie remembered that the old man who told her stories every day was the male protagonist of that story.
