It was Jenny who told Forrest Gump to run, and Forrest Gump really learned to run.
It was also because of running that Forrest Gump completely got rid of almost all the problems that his fate would have brought him about being alive.
Mother gave Forrest Gump life and endless love and encouragement, and Jenny's words played a role in Forrest Gump's life.
But Jenny's life, there is no magic.
In Jenny's hand, there was no magic weapon.
Jenny's heart is a bird without legs.
Birds keep flying and flying and will die.
So, in Jenny's life of always running and always running, she would occasionally tiptoe and stop for a moment to rest.
Why is Jenny running?
Why do you leave again and again, and your head never returns?
Jenny's first departure was to come out of the house, go to school, go to Forrest Gump's house, go to climb to the tree with Forrest Gump and play all day, as long as she left, she could always live a better life than at home, even for a moment and a half.
Later, Jenny moved out of the house and moved into her grandmother's house.
She often ran out of her grandmother's house in the middle of the night, climbed over the wall, climbed the railing, and went to Forrest Gump's hut to sleep with Forrest Gump, who was by her side, and she could feel safe and warm.
After college, Jenny lived in the dormitory with other girls, and she felt again a kind of confinement, a kind of being seen, a kind of suffocation that was still tightly bound by some kind of rope even though she was water, and when the uninhibited freedom she wanted was contrary to reality, she chose the freedom she regarded as oxygen without looking back. So she left school and wandered around.
Rootless weeds, drifting endlessly.
Jenny migrates from place to place, passing by one person and into the arms of the next, but none of them are Forrest Gump, on the contrary, they will let her repeat the pattern of getting along with her past father in her memory.
She tried again and again to escape, and fell into the known trap again and again, just as the cat was always tirelessly exhausting the mouse, and the child in Jenny's heart always let her run, and always let her constantly relive the despair and pain of waking the lamb into the trap of the old wolf and unable to move.
It was as if only then could one accurately perceive that he was alive.
Only bloodshed, sacrificed, overthrown, rebuilt, destroyed, was the established path of Jenny's life, like some kind of curse.
After many years of living like this, Jenny had been drained by herself, by those she knew, by life, she was too tired to stop and rest, or rather, to end this turbulent, bumpy, undulating years, she thought of death. But the warm and down-to-earth little girl in her heart who was with Forrest Gump stood up again to save her, and in the streets of endless neon lights, confused and endless flashing cars, she suddenly thought of a possibility that has always existed - to live simply and peacefully, with a simple attitude, step back a little, shake hands with life, just like Forrest Gump, simple and self-sufficient, with no one, why not?
So Jenny returned to Forrest Gump.
She walks to the end of the world and eventually turns around, instead of exploring outward, she should look inward.
No one knows what they want and what they can want in the first place.
No one can have superior wisdom when no one is teaching and when they are empty, to understand what is right and what is wrong, or to find an effective way to live too early, jenny, forrest Gump.
Those brief years with Forrest Gump were Forrest Gump's happiest days, and for Jenny, it was the same.
Fighting the wind and waves above the ocean, desperately going up in the countercurrent, seeking deeper stimulation in the hustle and bustle, thinking that everywhere can be home in the wandering, in the end, it is the place where life begins, which is the destination of man and the destination of the heart.
In leaving again and again, Jenny understood herself and understood herself, and at the same time, she understood love, and also understood Forrest Gump's love and her own love.
The answer was actually hidden in the beginning, on that bus, and Jenny said, if you want, you can sit next to me.
But ah, after saying this sentence, Jenny, in the face of the bullying of Forrest Gump by her classmates, blurted out the sentence: Run!
These words were the fate of Forrest Gump's life, and it also became the fate of Jenny's life.
It emanated from Jenny's mouth and was asked for Forrest Gump to practice, and later, Jenny joined in and ran for many years.
It's just that, so pure Forrest Gump, his running is literally running, while Jenny's running is running in the sense of escape.
They all want to run as hard as they can, leave everything behind, and solve the current dilemma.
But Forrest Gump's run, in fact, carried his mother and Jenny and others, just like he ran on the battlefield and turned back to save his partner. And Jenny's run is to abandon, to shake off, to isolate, to strip, to be born again.
If it is not born from the old shell of Nirvana, in fact, it is impossible for people to create a new life out of thin air, there is no props, no methods, no specific material support, everything is just a circle, and then turn from the end point back to the starting point, like a displacement in the sense of physics, there is no distance.
Of course, this is not always the case, Jenny's lifelong running, let her suffer from vicissitudes, premature aging, these external things are actually accelerating the pace of Jenny's return home, in a sense, is also a kind of experience, growth, but also a molting shell of the calendar.
There are few Forrest Gump in the world, but each of us, at a certain stage, is Jenny, and perhaps even a lifetime, is Jenny, and what is even more cruel is that there has never been an Forrest Gump, always waiting in place.
Is running useful?
not necessarily.
Wouldn't it be better not to run?
I don't know.
Perhaps experience is the meaning of everything.
I hope that we, whether running or not running, with or without Forrest Gump, can accept ourselves, love ourselves, no matter how far we go, and when we turn back, we all believe that it is the best time.
