A Beautiful Tragedy——A Short Review of "Your Lie in April"

It wasn't until the last episode, but there were tears in my eyes.

When watching it, I couldn't even press the play button for the last episode, because I was afraid of seeing Xiaoxun leave, afraid of seeing Gongsheng who was lonely again, afraid of seeing this beautiful fairy tale turned into a bubble and broken into pieces.

However, we have to accept this inevitable tragedy.

Lu Xun's evaluation of tragedy has long been familiar: "Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for others to see." This is also true of "Four Lies". A young man with a budding heart but doesn't know how to express his heart. The ignorant age not only makes the relationship between the two have flawless innocence, but it is separated by a barrier that cannot reveal their sincerity, which lays the final outcome.

"There are two tragedies in life, one is not getting what you love, and the other is getting what you love." From the words of Bernard Shaw, Gongsheng is extremely sad: it seems that he has gained Xiaoxun's feelings , but failed to express her feelings face to face, and lost her permanently due to a seemingly joking illness. But also because of this encounter, Gongsheng got rid of the shadow of his mother and touched the beating keys again; he got rid of the shyness that he was afraid to face his own feelings, and understood the meaning of "like".

"Young people grow up like this, dreams become reality like this, and love, hatred and hatred are all presented and resolved in a vigorous forging." Gongsheng's life has become more and more abundant, and even if he can no longer have Xiaoxun's help, he can walk out of the dark area and pursue his dream.

Perhaps, the story of Gongsheng and Xiaoxun is like the cherry blossoms in Tokyo that are beautiful but sad in April, blooming enthusiastically and withering poignantly. Although the cherry blossoms in April of that year have ended, they will bloom again in April of the following year. Although this tragedy caused Kōsei to lose Kaoru, Tsubaki, Ryota, Emi, Samurai, Nagi... I believe that they are by his side and can make every day of Kōsei's life sway like a branch with the wind. The cherry blossoms are free and radiant.

Tragedy is eternal beauty. A beautiful tragedy witnesses the joys and sorrows of the youth and witnesses the growth of the youth. But it also reminds everyone to seize every opportunity, express their wishes boldly, and don't let misses become eternal faults.
