Tomorrow, one more day than forever.

Dawn The last clear morning star foretells the coming of the scorching sun The fog and shadows dare not damage the cloudless sky A breeze blows pleasantly and caresses the face under the sky As if whispering to the dark part of the soul The sweetness of life Tell me, how long will it last tomorrow?

When I saw this passage, I paused and excerpted it sentence by sentence. This passage moved me so much that I wanted to recite it in full.

I watched this movie twice in two nights. When I watched it for the first time last night, I had some worries in my heart that kept me still, so I only watched half of it. I re-watched it today and found something different. From the beginning, this movie is a poem, and the protagonist of the little boy describes the island and the seaside to his partner, let's go play together.

It's also the first movie so far that I don't think I understand. It just feels like a poem, very beautiful. The house by the sea is the eternal home of the protagonist.

The wife once wrote a letter to the protagonist, saying that she wanted to keep that day, like a butterfly specimen, and never fly away.

I don't fully understand the concept "tomorrow is one more day than forever".

Perhaps, forever refers to the precious today?

As written in my wife's letter, I want to keep that day, like a specimen of a butterfly, which will never fly away again.

Perhaps, when a person is getting closer and closer to the end of his life, it will become more and more difficult to say whether tomorrow will come.

Perhaps, it will always be an end, a full stop. But tomorrow is like a poem without punctuation that can go on and on.

How long will it last tomorrow?

The poet endured the pain and walked by the sea. In winter in a Mediterranean climate, the air is humid and cold. This question confuses an old man.

Tomorrow is one more day than forever.

This answer relieved the poet.

But, I don't get it, what is one more day than forever?

Perhaps, the answer to the question can only be found in my own long life.

    Eternal sensual poetry. 1. Slowly push the long mirror from end to end to travel through time and space in a single panning shot, An Zhe's aesthetic formalization. 2. Creeping corpses on the power grid at the border and a bicycle convoy in yellow raincoats. 3. How long will it last tomorrow? It is both a day and eternity. 4. Lonely Words Buy Words Poorly-Kofra, Exile, Late Night. 5. Time is a child, playing sandbags at the beach. 6. The cremation of Sellin, weeping in the ward, the bus band, eternal in the fleeting. (9.5/10)
