Rain Man is a man with autism, stupid, but with abilities different from ordinary people.
He is simple and lonely, with a rigid and unstable lifestyle. He is used to the bed by the window, with a table next to the bed, and books and pens on the table. He remembers exactly what to do at each time point and what to eat at each meal. He used the blue notebook to record the dialogue on the TV, and the red notebook to record who violated him.
He repeated that boring joke mechanically over and over again, just because it was a rare beauty in his childhood memories.
He didn't know how to get along with the world mellowly, venting himself through the simplest and rude ways, and resisting others. He shielded himself in a cocoon, staying alone and persevering in his own world.
I saw my own shadow in Yuren, I understand him, his obsession, his old-fashioned, and his sense of security.
I love Yuren, his cleverness, and his stupidity even more.
He has a younger brother who has intervened in his life for the family property. From friction to running-in between the two people, some warm and moving episodes slowly occurred. With his extraordinary arithmetic ability, Yuren helped his younger brother win a lot of money and relieved the financial crisis; while on the road between the two people, his younger brother also let his brother try a life that he had never tried before. He worked hard to learn to date a girl. Dancing, he would say that the joke is not funny at all, the supermarket is a shit, and he feels the wetness of the kissing girl.
The younger brother no longer laughed at the strange habit of ridiculing his elder brother. He prepared maple syrup before serving the pancakes, put his elder brother's shoes at the end of the bed before going to bed, and said "this is your favorite". Maybe he is slowly becoming his "hero".
I'm the rain man, you're my hero.
