Such a life, don't stop.
Is this really the case?
Let's take a look at the "poor" life of pine nuts!
"The Life of the Rejected Pine Nuts"

7: Waiting for the former student Ryuichi to marry herself, the other party left her when she was released from prison.
When pine nuts are small
The indifference of the original family, the unsatisfactory work, the emotional betrayal, almost all the unlucky things are encountered by Matsuko.
Matsuko strives for love from the beginning, and finally gives up on herself, spending all day with garbage.
Fate never seemed to treat her kindly, and the people she met seemed to always dislike her.
When she finally decided to ignite the hope of life under the reminder of her friends, she was beaten to death by persuading a group of young people who did not return at night.
Her miserable and bumpy life was over.
After watching "The Life of the Rejected Pine Nut", many viewers feel that the fate of The Pine Nut is very miserable, and feel that all this is not what she should bear.
"It was caused by the original family."
They said.
In their perception, Matsuko's father is the original sin. It seems that if it were not for his "preference" for his younger daughter, Matsuko's ending would have been different.
Here, I take you back to some details, you will find that the life of pine nuts, in fact, is not what you see!
The life of an abandoned pine nut
Matsuko smiled because his father saw his wide-eyed pouting expression, and he thought that his father liked his "ugly" appearance, and on many occasions, he deliberately maintained this expression to please his father and others.
In fact, Matsuko's father really loves Matsuko, and his smile is the old father's love, and he really loves Matsuko, which is a smile from the heart.
It was Matsuko who misunderstood him!
She had always thought that her father loved her sick sister. Because she is just a child, she is not a parent, she can't understand how parents feel guilty about a seriously ill child, how they want to care!
Matsuko is healthy, while sister Jigami is sick.
Matsuko is the eldest daughter, and compared with her sister, she has a father-daughter relationship with her father for a few years.
This upset her sick sister.
All kinds of weaknesses make the sister try her best to get the attention of her parents.
The sister's mood is the same as Matsuko's, and the younger sister is really afraid of being rejected by her father. She was a sick child, and she couldn't compare with her healthy and lively sister!
In life, why do we sometimes feel that our parents prefer one of their children?
Because, we only see "preference", we do not look at the factors that exist behind preference.
Maybe it's because the favored child is sick, maybe it's because the favored person is in poor condition, maybe it's because the favored child is young and weak, or maybe it's because the favored child is better to his parents.
Matsuko helps her student Ryuichi, but Ryuichi doesn't have the courage to stand up and wash her innocence.
Are the good guys being let down?
No, it's not.
Ryuichi was just a teenager, and he didn't have the courage to take responsibility. He was so relieved that he had to hide under the protection of his teacher.
The growing Ryuichi has actually always been very guilty, and the pine nuts of that year also have an aura in his heart.
So later, the two meet, and Ryuichi falls in love with the teacher Matsuko.
Unfortunately, the happiness that Matsuko wanted, Ryuichi couldn't give.
Sometimes, loving someone doesn't necessarily mean getting it, and it doesn't have to be a good look. Long Yi's choice was not right or wrong. He was in the underworld and couldn't give Matsuko happiness, and he didn't want to owe Matsuko a second time.
All his starting points are for the sake of pine nuts.
However, the thinking of men and women is different, and Matsuko thinks that Ryuichi has abandoned himself!
Writers actually love pine nuts too.
He loves Matsuko, but he can't give Matsuko a stable and happy life. He was tangled, he was miserable, he was depressed.
He used various methods to drive away the pine nuts.
Domestic violence, verbal abuse, but Matsuko always stayed by his side.
No one can empathize.
The bitter writer finally chose suicide. Matsuko believes that the other party would rather choose to die than follow her.
She felt that writers hated her.
However, the writer's glance before leaving was obviously in love and deep love.
Heavy rain poured down, and pine nuts could not be seen.
The writer looked at The Pine Nuts
The barber is just an ordinary man. He needs a stable life.
So, after Matsuko went to jail, he got married.
Matsuko felt that the barber hated himself and was unwilling to wait.
In fact, the barber just thought that the pine nuts had disappeared from his life. He had no idea why Matsuko had left him.
Those who have gone are gone, and those who remain must continue.
It was Matsuko who stubbornly stayed in that time, entangled and in pain.
It's like the bathroom goes out of business and Matsuko's friend gets married.
Throughout the story, Matsuko's friend in the bathroom has always wanted to change her.
Friends showed her her happy life and gave her business cards.
Sometimes, do we feel that our well-mixed friends are showing off?
Perhaps, we are wrong to blame each other.
The hesitant pine nuts missed the best chance of redemption.
When the rejected Matsuko recalls the past, she realizes that she actually has things that many people don't have.
There is a father who loves her, she also thinks about her sister, there is a writer who loves her deeply, there is Ryuichi who cares for her, and there is a colleague who really thinks she is a friend.
So many people loved her, but she felt abandoned.
The end of the film is the most lamentable. Finding herself pine nuts who have never been rejected, she struggles to start a good life again. However, fate did not give her a chance to start again.
This time, she was truly rejected.
Hated by a group of children who do not return home at night.
She was deformed and dirty. Is it convincing for such elders to persuade themselves?
She thought that this group of children would be like Ryuichi, but she didn't know that Ryuichi was unique and unrepeatable. And the pine nuts of the past are also the only ones.
"I'm sorry to be human."
There are actually many beautiful little details in life, but we lack the eyes to find beauty.
Sometimes, it's not that we don't have love around us, it's that we don't understand love.
Mom and Dad's nagging, we feel annoyed, but we don't know, it may be love. It's just that Mom and Dad won't express it, and we won't feel it.
The quarrel between lovers is not necessarily disgust, it may be that he has troubles in his heart, and we are not able to detect it, but we are angry and add to the chaos.
The person who leaves may love us to the bone marrow, but we can't let go of the past ourselves and have been hating each other's departure.
Friends' words are not good, but may be really good for us.
Born to be human, I'm sorry.
Sorry for not finding love.
Sorry for hurting someone else.
Sorry for the delay.
