Today's introduction to a short film - "Father and Daughter"
This is an 8-minute cartoon that walks in a simple style.
The picture is simple.
Characters and scenes are outlined with only a few lines.
There is no dialogue, no close-up of the characters, and the plot is expressed by the character action and soundtrack.
But it was such a "simple" short film that won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
And, let countless people cry.
Because it pokes at the softest place in everyone's heart—
Affection.
The story begins when the father is about to travel.
He rode to the river with his daughter and prepared to cross it.
After kissing his daughter goodbye, the father was ready to go.
But before getting on the boat, I still couldn't bear my little daughter, and I folded back and held her in a circle.
After that, the daughter stood on the shore and watched her father paddle away in a small boat.
Every day after his father left, his daughter came to the shore to wait for him.
One wait is a lifetime.
The daughter grew up and became a little girl.
Or ride to the shore every day.
Father's bicycle was still leaning against the tree, as if he had never left.
As the days passed, the little girl came out and stood tall.
I don't know what day my father's bicycle disappeared, but she still came to the shore every day like when she was a child, waiting for her father to come home.
Traveling with friends, passing by here, I will also look back in the direction where my father left.
One day, the girl stopped riding alone.
She found her sweetheart and was taken by her boyfriend on a bicycle.
She did not get out of the car, but after passing the shore where her father had left, she could not help but look sideways.
Then, after many years.
She got married and had children.
A family of four once again came to the shore where my father had left.
The husband sat by the water's edge and played with the children.
She stood in that position, looking into the distance.
Just like when I was a kid.
Year after year, young girls have become young women, and now people are middle-aged.
She would still come to shore, look in the direction her father had left, and continue to miss.
Time flies.
Slowly, she couldn't even ride her bike.
Walking on the road, a little girl flew past her on a bicycle.
Just like she was then.

She pushed the car and went to the shore to wait for her father.
She knew she couldn't wait, but the thought of waiting for her father sustained her all her life.
But she's too old, and the bike is too old.
The car couldn't stand up for half a day.
Decades passed, and the river disappeared and became a prairie.
She decided to go through the grass and go to find her father.
As she walked, she spotted a shipwreck.
It was the one my father had taken when he left.
She touched the boat.
Walk over and lie down in the little boat.
It's like lying in the crook of my father's arm as a child.
Then, suddenly, in the haze, she saw her father, who had been waiting for a lifetime.
She got up and ran wildly in her father's direction.
She ran cheerfully, and the closer she got to her father, the younger she got.
She finally waited for the hug she had been waiting for all her life.
This scene is tearful.
Douban netizens @dum-dum's comments, which make people's noses sour:
Dad, I never grew up again after you left. I'm afraid that one day when you come to pick me up, you won't recognize me.
It is said that the father's love is like a mountain, but how can the child's love for his parents not be deep?
In just 8 minutes, I finished my daughter's life.
She had been waiting, perhaps tired of complaining, but never hysterical.
Finally, when the daughter ran to her father, she seemed to have become the little girl who did not know the world again.
"In front of you, I will always be a child."
Finally, a video of "Father and Daughter" is sent.
Feel the warm, delicate, calming power of the film together.
That's love, it's reincarnation.
