The animation "Afternoon Time" focuses on the more special people in this world, people with Senile dementia, the academic name is Alzheimer's disease, the most obvious disease is that the patient will become forgetful, but more serious than this is the loss of self-care ability to live.
The elderly have always been a relatively small group of people in society who have received less attention. Because this society is developing, people are busy making money and raising children. With that, who else will notice the elderly? And Alzheimer's disease is the most serious disease, it can make a learned old man forget everything, along with the best times of the past.
In the past, this loss of some memory may have been thought to be the work of some mysterious force, but in modern times, people have paid attention to this psychiatric disease. The most terrible point of mental illness is that with the current level of medical treatment, it cannot be cured, and can only be accompanied by family members to help the elderly. There was also a variety show called "Can't Forget the Restaurant" in China before.
If you really want to understand Alzheimer's disease, it is recommended to go to see the variety show, where there is no impetuosity and prosperity of the entertainment industry, nor all kinds of hype for fame, only a group of elderly people who have lost their memories are facing life with a positive attitude.
But if you want to understand the real inner world of Alzheimer's patients, then you must watch "Afternoon Time". The tears were swirling, because it was so sad to lose all my memories and erase all the trajectory of my life in this world.
<h1>Piece together bits and pieces of memories</h1>
The protagonist of the story is an old man who has lost all her memories, sitting in a rocking chair in the room in the middle of the afternoon, and does not know what she is watching or thinking. And the journey to find memories is in a cup of black tea. The old man looked at the biscuits that had fallen into the black tea, and she suddenly remembered many things.
As a child, she was a little girl, playing by the sea, painting on the beach, watching the tide rise and fall, the sea is endless, only the waves are flowers. And it's all a memory that is evoked through tiny cookies. However, this memory is often very short-lived and fragmentary. Then the old man kept recalling, she saw something, remembered the most precious thing to herself.
Maybe that's why people like to stay in places they know. Why does the hometown always become the expectation of the hearts of the outgoing tourists, and why do the friendships of the past look so beautiful in retrospect? This is not only because of the nostalgia in people's hearts, but also because the familiar people, places and things always remind people of the past.
After all, people have some brain capacity, in this short and long life, how many wonderful times can you remember?
People who are moving towards the future will never realize how beautiful the past was. Young people always yearn for something better. Only when the twilight is old, people will recall what they have done in this life, right?
What exactly is memory? It is the only tool that accompanies people through their lonely and helpless time after they are old; it is also a person's last time, looking back on his life. So it's really impossible to imagine what kind of life people with Alzheimer's disease live. In "Can't Forget the Restaurant", those old people who are active and happy in the face of life are still only a minority, in this society, there are a large group of old people, because of their own oblivion and gradually lose themselves, and even be disliked by their families.
<h1>Memory is a treasure on earth</h1>
Memory is a treasure in the world, because a person's whole life is buried in memory, and if you forget the past, it is equivalent to forgetting everything you have in this world. That's the saddest thing in the world. This kind of thing in life is easy to be ignored. Because every moment you live, every moment you breathe air, these are life.
But things like breathing, eating, and being alive are all too common, and it almost all becomes human instinct. We don't know what we live for, just as we don't know that life exists. If everything in the world needs to be ritualized, then the record of a person's life is the ritual sense of life.
But it is impossible for everyone to be like a great man, allowing his life to be recorded, praised, and even worshipped by a group of strangers. The means by which most people can record their lives is through memory. Memory is a wonderful thing, both good and bad. It may seem trivial now, but as long as you recall it, the fragile and sensitive emotions of that youth will turn into a thick filter that makes you feel empathy and cry.
So recalling the past is not a good hobby! Because it will help you know yourself more accurately. But the patients of Alzheimer's disease were stripped of this power and became vassals of life. Alzheimer's disease is far more terrifying than we think, because it is possible that tomorrow she will have forgotten today's events.
What can prove that a person has come to this world for a while, in addition to the ground under his feet and the name on the paper, is more important than the memories stored in his mind.
<h1>What exactly can represent a person? </h1>
Memory is the best proof that a person has walked through this world. Nothing is more important than memory. If a person loses his memory, it is as if his own existence in this world has suddenly been erased. After all, the memories of you that others can recall must only take up a few seconds of your life, some may be just a simple moment, and some may only be a few minutes.
And the only person who can remember and empathize with your decades of life is yourself. The question of "who am I?" is probably only answered by memory.
<h1>Who am I? A complex person. </h1>
In a person's long life, many unexpected things will be done. Everyone has had little secrets and shared experiences. The best thing about life is that it has infinite possibilities and can make people feel infinitely exciting. But the most helpless point of life is the emergence of Alzheimer's disease, which deprives a person of all the records of living in this world.
Why does "Afternoon Time" make people want to cry? Because it allows you to see the days after forgetting everything, if you forget everything one day, will you be like the protagonist of "Afternoon Time" - desperately recalling, piecing together a person's life through fragmentary memories?
