You walk with her, look at her expression, look at her fleeting happiness, confusion, embarrassment, jokes, self-deprecating.
Seeing her eyelashes fluttering, her smile growing bright and vivid, and then suddenly seeing the years in her face, the traces are intimate and touching, and what is touching is never simple beauty. But a sincere face.
You imagine the joys, sorrows and sorrows she has experienced, as well as grand dreams and calm appearances, and disappointments when the sun and the moon are dull, you know all these.
That moment, including the sun, the wind, the surrounding buildings, the plants, and you, are all deeply imprinted in your heart, and this becomes your destiny.

In "Out of Africa", Denys drives a plane to the ground, and Karen comes on horseback and says, when did you learn to fly?
Denys said, Yesterday! . Then she jumped on the plane with excitement. He started the plane and flew over the land of Africa.
Gentle mountains and rivers, vast grasslands, abundant rivers, running animals. Then there is a wide area of ​​water, where thousands of waterfowl land and fly far away...
They all love Africa deeply. At that moment, they fell in love with Africa again like their first love. At that moment, the vast world, magnificent rivers and mountains.
They were all speechless, she stretched out her hand to him, and he held it understandingly. At this moment, he and she, and the world, reached a tacit understanding.
This moment will always stay in her heart, in his heart. Whether it's her return to Europe or his immortality in Africa, it's an eternal moment.

We live in the world, no matter what we do, what choices we make, what decisions we make. Under the framework of reason, in the structure of society, what kind of person has become. Who became the pro, who became the executioner, who was the gift. Neither can surpass the meaning these moments give to our lives. You are a person and you feel the world.
