The meaning of time
I accidentally watched one of the Star Trek movies, followed by other series, and lingering in my mind is the 7th Star Trek. Why, because there is a paradise that people yearn for: Shihui.

Time Exchange
When I bought a stereo in Shanghai in 1995, JS gave a VCD. The opening was a wine bottle flying in space.

Picard: You never met my brother and his wife, did you?
Troi: No.
Picard: Robert. So opinionated. So pompous and arrogant. He always had to have the last word. But he-he mellowed a little bit in the last few years. I was going to get together with them all next month on Earth. I thought we'd go to San Francisco. Rene's always wanted to see Starfleet Academy.
Troi: Rene?

Troi: What's happened?
Picard: Robert and Rene, they're... burned to death in a fire.
Troi: I'm sorry.
Picard: It's all right. It's all right. These things happen.
Troi: Captain, it's not all right.
Picard: I can't help thinking about... about all the experiences that Rene's not gonna have, about going to the Academy, reading books and listening to music and falling in love, building a life.
[closing the photo album]
Picard: Well, that's not going to happen now.
Troi: I didn't realize he meant so much to you.
Picard: I'd come to feel that Rene was as close as I would get to having a child of my own.
Troi: Your family history is very important to you, isn't it?
Picard: What? Oh. From being a small child, I can remember being told about the family line. The Picard who fought at Trafalgar. The Picard who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. The Picards who settled the first Martian colonies. And when Robert married and he had a son, I...
Troi: You felt it was no longer your responsibility to carry on the family line.

Journalist #3: This is the first Starship Enterprise in 30 years without James T. Kirk in command. How do you feel about that, sir?
Kirk: Oh, just fine. I'm glad to be here to send her on her way.
Journalist #3: And what have you been doing since you retired?
Kirk: Keeping busy.
