Our lives will eventually be healed in love, and I hope you can be gentle with others, and you can also be gentle with others.
Is it the devil, or is it the angel?
In a small town in Brazil, there lived a young boy named Zeze, who was known as the Devil's Son. Almost every day, they were beaten up: burning down neighbors' fences and blowing out candles in churches; He also made silk stockings into a snake shape to scare pregnant women.
He was only five years old, and he did countless bad things. When the people around him saw him, they all felt that his head was as big as a fight, a small dog in one mouth, a demon in one mouth, and a brown Lippi cat......
However, Zeze, a nasty guy, also has his kind side.
He loved Louis so much that he was willing to share everything with him, and he was willing to sit on the side of the road all day and shine his shoes, just so as not to disappoint his brother.
Although his father often beat him, as long as he inadvertently said the wrong thing and hurt his father, he would feel guilty and do everything he could to make amends. His teacher never accepts flowers, and when Zezawa finds out, he has to send a bouquet of flowers to the teacher even if he is scolded for being late.
He is also a person who knows how to repay kindness, and whoever gives him warmth, he will repay him. The candy shop owner who gave himself candy to eat, the candy shop owner who polished his shoes, and the old man who gave him comics were all deeply imprinted in his mind.
is obviously a kind-hearted little angel, why is he called a demon? This starts with the environment when Zeze was a child.
1. An unhappy childhood
Zeze's father has been unemployed for a long time, and every day is miserable and decadent, and his mother goes out early and returns late every day.
Nobody cares, no one cares. Due to poverty, he became the punching bag for the family.
He was very serious about learning to make paper balls, and for this, he even sold his favorite glass balls and celebrity photos. However, he was a novice after all, and before he could get it done at night, the second sister asked him to eat, but he didn't listen and tore up the paper ball.
He thought that his family was poor, so he followed the wandering singer to sell songs on the street to make money, but when he returned home, his father robbed him of all the money.
Knowing that his father had lost his job, he was very sad, so he sang a newly learned song to his depressed father. When he was young, he only knew the beautiful melody, but he didn't know that the poor lyrics made his father angry.
His father thought he was deliberately using this piece to satirize him, so he slapped him so indiscriminately that he could barely move. Zeze tries hard to make the people around him better, but he is always hurt by the people around him.
He had an orange tree, which had been snatched by someone else, but he still named it and told it about his troubles.
However, in order to build a road, this orange tree, which was willing to listen to his heart, had to be cut down. His life was full of misunderstandings and pain. Fortunately, Lao Lu appeared.
Second, that light illuminates life
Once, he told his orange tree that he was going to play "pickpocketing" in a Portuguese car. He took a fancy to an old Portuguese car, and Lao Portuguese was a fierce existence in the eyes of children, and no one dared to overturn his car.
However, in order to promise the sweet orange tree, Zeze could only bite the bullet. As a result, Lao Lu caught him and gave him several heavy blows in public.
Enraged by the pain and humiliation, he yelled at the old Portuguese that he would kill the Portuguese when he grew up.
However, it is also a competition.
Once, Sawazawa was smashed by a glass for a prank, and he limped to school for fear that his father would find out and hit him.
On the way, he was discovered by Lao Lu. Zeze grinned when he saw him, but Lao Lu took him to tetanus shots, and took him to drink cold drinks, eat snacks, and give him candy with celebrity photos.
Zeze, who rarely feels warm, after this battle, regards Lao Portugal as the most beloved person in the world. Since having Lao Lu, Ze Ze seems to be a completely different person, with only a smile on his face. As soon as he had free time, Lao Lu took him for a ride, took him fishing, hugged him gently, and gave him a warm smile.
Zeze was misunderstood by his father and had no love after being beaten, but Lao Lu was always by his side to comfort him, so that he had hope of continuing to live. After Lao Lu appeared, Ze Ze was no longer so naughty, and even his habit of saying foul words had changed. But the good times didn't last long, and an unexpected came to break the current happy situation.
Just when he was desperate, he heard that Lao Lu had died in a car accident. Zeze received a huge blow, the high fever did not go away, and the whole person was in a coma. Many people came to visit him and wish him a speedy recovery.
However, he didn't want to live because he thought that even if he was cured, he would still be a bad boy and would never have the motivation to be a child again. Not long after, his father became the owner of the factory. Dad told him that everything would be fine.
But Zeze was unmoved, he felt that the man in front of him was not his father at all, because his father had died in a car accident. Beloved orange trees are cut down, beloved ones leave, and happy sunshine disappears.
3. Only those who are treated well have the courage to live
Zeze also considered leaving with Lao Lu. Once, when the train rumbled, he also ran along, imitating Lao Portugal as he crossed the tracks.
He did his best to get through this hurdle with all his might. He said to himself that if he was hit by a train, he would be able to see Lao Lu. If he wins, he will continue to live the gentle life that the old grapes gave him. In the end, he was victorious.
Many years later, Zeze took over Lao Lu's pen and became a writer. His older brother Louis, on the other hand, was not so lucky, choosing to commit suicide at the age of 20, and his 24-year-old sister Gloria also chose to commit suicide. But Zeze can be said to be lucky, because he has also received gentleness.
4. Love and tenderness are the nourishment for children's growth
Without love, there can be no education; There will be no warmth and no understanding. The indifference and beating of his relatives, the disgust and contempt of his neighbors, forced the devil in Zeze's heart out, and turned him from a little angel to a "little villain" who was spurned.
When he was young, he knew he had to be gentle. After being beaten by his father, he ran to the old grape and said to him, "Can you come to me and ask my father to give me to you?" ”
Portugal was a little surprised: "Do you want to be my child?" If I could choose, I would definitely choose you. Looking at Ze Ze's serious gaze, Lao Lu said seriously: "I don't hate you, my child.
I can't take you away from the family and your parents, as much as I would love to do it, it's not appropriate to do so. However, one thing I can assure you of is that I have loved you as myself, and I will treat you as my own. ”
Ze Ze was very happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but kiss Lao Lu's kind cheek. It was something he had never done to his family, not even his brother Louis.
If you had to choose between violence and gentleness, anyone would choose mildness. For a child, threats and violence cannot make him grow up, only love and tenderness can give him the courage to face difficulties.
5. Seek warmth and love to heal spiritual wounds
If the injuries you suffered as a child are not healed, you will still be an injured child when you grow up. However, when a person gets married and has children, he can't help but hurt his children......
The wheels of fate turned over and over again, running over one young and innocent sapling after another. If you are the injured one, make sure you heal your wounds first. What can we do? Mr. Zeze's story can also give us some inspiration.
The inner needs of human beings are love and warmth. Although Zeze has lived in the shadow of his father's violence since he was a child, he meets his grandfather, meets the orange tree, and the old man who loves him deeply.
The love and warmth he lacks comes from someone or something outside the family. Each of us can find our own love. Maybe it's a lover, maybe it's a friend, maybe it's a pet.
Even if this love and tenderness can't stay with you for a long time, it can give you the power to heal your wounds, and that's enough. At the end of the film, Ze Ze said: "Time flies, dear Lao Portugal, I am now forty-eight years old.
Sometimes, when I miss it, it seems to go back to my childhood, and you often give me photos or marbles of movie stars, so that I can understand the warmth of life. Dear old Portugal, now it's my turn to send you pictures and marbles, because life is impossible without gentleness. ”
The bird flew away, the panther disappeared, Lao Lu left, and all that was left was love and tenderness. Perhaps this is the transmission of love and the power of tenderness.
Love and tenderness are the best gifts in the world. Growing up is irreversible, may you be gentle with others and be treated gently.
