I don't know in this sentence of Taiwanese writer Jian Zhen,
In addition to nostalgia for his youth and regrets about the passage of time, there are more or less memories of his father.
After all, like Guoyi, a car accident will forever take the life of her beloved father.
It is said that the daughter is the father's little cotton jacket, and the father is the daughter's protective umbrella.
How a young girl who lost her father and thus took on the heavy responsibility of the family, how to build an independent and autonomous heart step by step, we do not know.
Michael Dudwitt, on the other hand, uses an animated short film to show this sad father-daughter relationship.

Father and Daughter
The 8-minute short film tells a story of love and life through the two main characters of father and daughter.
The short film won the 73rd Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, as well as the British Academy Film Awards, the Annecy Animation Awards and a series of other awards.
Some people say that he has watched it no less than 200 times, and there are still new gains when he looks at it.
In the short film, the father and daughter ride bicycles through the forest path up the grassy slopes and finally come to the lake, while the father paddles away.
This distinction is forever.
From then on, the daughter rode to the river day after day and year after year to wait.
Time flies.
The daughter grew up and became a mother after marrying a woman. Slowly getting older, she finally got into the boat, as if lying on the warm crook of her father's warm arm.
This two-dimensional animated short film has no dialogue and special effects, and the characters don't even have facial expressions. The slightly slower pace and less abundant scenes are hard for anyone to watch.
However, not watching it twice is definitely your loss.
The simple style of the short film, the subtle narrative details and the exquisite camera control, the precise grasping and meticulous conveyance of emotions, and the exploration and understanding of the two grand themes of love and life are breathtaking!
Michael Dudwitt, born in the Netherlands in 1953, is a cartoonist illustrator and animation director.
The first solo animated short film, The Monk and the Flying Fish, has won the French César Award and the European Golden Animation Award.
After Tom the Cleaner, the work was heavily influenced by Chinese and Japanese art, and the use of ink became his signature style.
This film also uses the style of ink painting.
The years are like this.
The bicycle is like life, the wheels are not endless, and the boat brings life to the end.
The unforgettable film's daughter's repeated watch over her father is a kind of sentimentality from the most primitive.
What she endured was a greater pain than "the son wants to raise but does not wait."
Life is a kind of reincarnation, and only the father's love is like a mountain.
