"I died on the night of September 2 1 in the twentieth year of Showa." ?
This is the first line of the animated film Goodbye Firefly. ?
A boy in rags, dying in a crowded station, was near the end of his short life when he was 14 years old. This is Japan a month after the defeat. ?
In a trance, the teenager saw his dead sister and the summer full of fireflies. ?
At that time, my brothers and sisters were very happy. Small tin boxes full of candy, fireflies flying all over the sky, my brother holding my sister's hand running at night, and my sister's silvery laughter have all become the ruthless foreshadowing of the upcoming tragedy. ?
The air raid began and my mother died suddenly in the bombing. In the face of a sudden blow, all my brother can do is hide the news of my mother's death from my sister. In the empty square, my brother tried to perform the horizontal bar for his sister who was crying for her mother. In the sunset, two thin figures look so thin. Perhaps, at that moment, my brother tried to bear all his sadness and decided to hold up a clear sky for his sister on the chaotic ruins. ?
My brother and sister went to a relative's house. However, war has alienated family ties, and material poverty has made people indifferent to each other. Dirty eyes and less and less rice in the bowl suggest that they must leave. My brother finally decided to move away with my sister and set up his own home. However, when he left happily singing, could he have predicted the irreversible tragic fate because of the war? ?
Fireflies fly again, but the bad luck of brother and sister keeps coming. Hunger and disease are the biggest problems that plague them. In order not to make my sister hungry, my brother had to steal it, and it was during the bombing of the plane. Whenever someone finds some food in an empty room, he gets very excited. Movies give this kind of life more pen and ink: abandoned homeland, desolate Yuan Ye, calm and cruel, indifference and warmth coexist. ?
In the dark abandoned cave, my brother caught fireflies into mosquito nets, and the fireflies flying all over the sky were clearly extinguished on a sultry summer night. My brother clung to his sleeping sister for fear that he would lose it if he let go. However, war itself means loss. ?
Fireflies only live for one night, and everything disappears in the summer breeze. ?
My sister already knew that my mother was gone, and she understood the meaning of death and grave at an early age. A small corpse holding fireflies fell from Jiezi's hand, mixed with the soil and turned into dust. My brother seemed to see his mother's equally fragile body burned to ashes. Death once again hit my brother's young and strong heart. At this moment, tears rolled across my cheeks, maybe for my mother, maybe for fireflies, maybe just for my fragile life. ?
Fireflies can only live for one night. On a beautiful night, it showed its charm incisively and vividly, and then quietly fell in the dark. The harsh environment made the ambassadors suffer from eczema. They had no money to see a doctor, let alone buy medicine ... My little sister failed to escape the double torture of hunger and disease and died tragically. ?
The day Jay died was also a night full of fireflies. With a smile on her face, she is looking for a happy life that can only live in a dream in the most beautiful scenery. ?
When the firefly lights up again, the small iron box filled with candy, the little girl named Jiezi who laughs like a bell, the air-raid shelter with a swing at the foot of the mountain, and the fireflies flying all over the sky … all these make people feel a suffocating sadness. ?
Everything is so cruel, everything is so inhuman, and everything is so futile in the face of war. My brother has tried his best to survive for his sister and himself, but he still can't keep his only close relative. Despair accompanied by the arrival of night, when the flame gradually extinguished, faint fireflies sang the most touching melody for their lonely brother, and the fluorescent lights rising in Ran Ran formed a warm smiling face in the farthest sky. That's all his relatives and lives taken away by the war ...?
That season ...
It is the youth with cherry blossoms like snow ... ~
