On the gleaming sea the distant ship
whistles farewell
If I slowly walk down the small slope
, will there be a summer wind?
——"Farewell to Summer"

Ryoko Moriyama's classic old song "Farewell to Summer" in the 1970s was selected as the theme song for "Slope of Poppies in Bloom", a story set in Japan's post-war revival Really need such a melody of the times. I've been looking forward to the release of this movie almost from the moment I saw the sequence that accompanies this music. With such a warm and poetic work, Goro Miyazaki has inherited the wonderful Ghibli created by his father Hayao Miyazaki.

"My love is a melody
high and low singing
my love is a seagull
flying high and low
like I am calling you in the sunset Can you
meet the gentle you?"

At midnight on the summer night of the World Cup, people scattered The lively and lively feeling is in a corner of the world, such sad music plays the heartbreak of parting, like the peaceful Yokohama harbor in the movie, 16-year-old Xiaohai takes care of the life of the whole family. Raise the semaphore and pray for the safe return of the sailing ship. The young girl's watch has become the hope for many boats to return home. The poems of the young man have this beautiful scene.

In the Latin Building, there are a group of young people with ideals and enthusiasm.
