There is love around the corner

When a friend recommended it, I told me that this is a very loving film. The somewhat tongue-in-cheek name—meeting love at the corner of the world—was derived from a phrase my grandmother believed in. The grandmother is not the protagonist. She uses hard-earned sugar to make various desserts for her grandson's birthday. A few years later, the scorched desserts turned her inner anxiety into reality. There is bitterness in the sweetness, and the sweetness permeates the bitterness, which is an hour and a half experience. Cry for a while and laugh for a while, the movie and the book have the same magic, but the switching of the movie shots is more casual. Escape and return, the two lines of different time and space are intertwined and changed, so that the transformation of emotions does not stop. In the eyes of unknown people, I must be crazy.
Life is not easy, and no one should feel more deeply than my grandfather. Political persecution is more ferocious and cruel than any form of harm, and it should leave a shadow. But you can't see it, all you see is the grandfather's full of life wisdom and calm attitude towards life. The dice are held in the palm of the hand, and most of the fate is also held. How to roll was the first lesson Sasi learned, and how to face the rolled points was the second lesson his grandfather taught him.
Riding a tandem on the way home, Sasi made fun of his grandfather for being lazy and left him pedaling hard behind him. The grandfather told him he was the helmsman because Sasi didn't know the way home. Well, there is an old saying in China - those who work hard control others, and those who work hard control others. Same thing, same thing.
When Saxi burst into tears to find himself, the grandfather left the rest of the way for him to walk alone. It takes more wisdom to let go than to hold on.

PS: A completely unfamiliar language sounds indescribably comfortable. The deepest impression is that the mother held the little Sassi, the fairy tale book spread out in front of them, and in the warm yellow light, the mother's voice was like the sounds of nature. , this voice later also guided the adult Sassi.
