According to the recommendation, I watched the Japanese documentary Fruit of Life yesterday. The hero and heroine are 90-year-old Yixiu and 87-year-old Eiko. Many details in husband and wife's life show the best appearance of love, that is, both sides are independent but interdependent.
For example, in the documentary, we will see that the husband only eats traditional Japanese breakfast, with seaweed rice and Japanese kimchi, while the wife likes western breakfast, with bread jam and butter. So my wife cooked two different breakfasts every day, and even after her husband died, she insisted on doing so.
Moreover, this couple's attitude towards life also makes me feel envious and warm-hearted. They follow the following principles:-the wind blows off dead leaves, and the dead leaves moisten the soil, and the fertile soil helps the fruits grow slowly and firmly.
What moved me most was that the heroine Eiko quoted a sentence from an architect: a house is a jewel box of life. This really reminds me of a series of ideas:
What jewelry boxes have we experienced in our life? -some have become eternal memories.
What mark will each jewelry box leave on itself? -there are scenes where grandparents and parents, elders and relatives of the same age love each other, and there are also many trivial matters and teachings between relatives. As they grow up, they have their own house.
What can I do for this jewelry box that I can dominate? More than 20 years before this, with the great flow of the times and society, I started working, got married and had children, and embarked on a state of running for my life and never stopping on the road. It's rare to think so much. It seems that in the past year or two, there have been more and more self-questioning thoughts on such a theme. This year's Spring Festival, the national fight against the epidemic, had the opportunity to study and reflect at home. What the hell do I want to do? what can I do? Of course, I want to do something beneficial to others, so I can do it happily now. Just like thinking at the moment, prepare the content and tools for doing things.
What kind of jewelry box should be left to future generations? -I think what is more important than money is the attitude towards life and the values of mindfulness; Leave them fertile ground for love and happiness.
Is it beneficial to human society? -Let's take the case of a male major who wrote a letter to a stranger before his death as an example. Every letter shows his help, thoughts and blessings. As an architect, he actively helped to build a mental hospital two months before his death, providing free garden and architectural design. The design is not only thoughtful, but also leaves many touching words.
His words to people: "Leave something here for future generations to enrich their future"; "People are more important than money"; "Start with what you can do, one by one"; "Slow and firm progress, take your time"; "Being able to relax at home every day"; "I think certainty is the most important"; "As long as you are alive, you must do your best"; ..... It seems that you can feel the energy of sunlight with a small action. Therefore, there are many things that ordinary people can make useful contributions to human society. We can start with the people and things around us, don't be impatient, do our best and take action. Always keep the normal iteration of expanding and acquiring new tools, always be prepared and use them whenever necessary. This is also the harvest in the fruit of life.
The more serious you live, the better your life will be.
Finally, I deeply mourn Dr. Li Wenliang.
Put away your sadness, do what we can to make up for it, and believe that the devil will eventually perish.
All the answers are in nature.
