Rebirth of the Father of Anime

On an ordinary Thursday, the Chinese people ushered in the Chinese Valentine's Day, which was full of pink atmosphere.

On the streets and in shopping malls, you can see merchants everywhere seizing the opportunity to launch promotional activities for couples.

Although Chinese Valentine's Day is not a legal holiday in the country, it cannot stop the legend of the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, nor can it stop the passionate hearts of men and women longing for romance.

No matter how powerful the fff group was, at this moment, they were evaporated without a trace under the dazzling light emitted by the couples on the street.

Those who were lucky enough to escape could only curse the group of envy and jealousy in the dark corners.

Today is destined to be a day for two people to be in heat.

As an essential place for dating, movie theaters are particularly popular.

The film industry loves all kinds of festivals, so it will naturally not miss this opportunity. During the Chinese Valentine's Day period, there are many romance blockbusters, which constantly stimulate the release of hormones in the audience.

Among them, the one that is most sought after by fans is the Porter's Chinese Valentine's Day gift - "5 Centimeters per Second".

Over the past year, the continuous romantic masterpieces have made countless viewers addicted to them, and their unconventional expression techniques have fascinated young men and women.

The promotional poster for "5 Centimeters Per Second" shows a young man and woman smiling at each other across the railroad tracks, with cherry blossoms falling behind them.

Combined with the slogan previously released by the porter, the beautiful scene made fans feel a little drunk in their reverie.

What could be more romantic than enjoying the porter’s romantic masterpiece with your girlfriend on Chinese Valentine’s Day?

There are endless queues in the ticket hall of every movie theater, and there are couples in the queue. Let the single aristocrats who just want to watch a movie feel ashamed of themselves.

but. Wang Jinhua didn't care. I queued up alone to redeem the movie tickets for "5 Centimeters per Second" that I purchased online. The radiant light that seemed to be shining like the sun in front, back, left and right could not shake him in the slightest.

Every year on this day, he goes to the movies alone.

At this time, another young man and woman walked in. The man was carrying a lot of things, and the woman was holding the man's arm, looking very intimate.

Both of them look very ordinary.

But the woman's body lines and proportions are perfect. It makes countless female compatriots on the side envious and jealous, and some men also feel sorry for it: if the face could be more beautiful, it would be more perfect.

Most people took one look and turned away. After all, they were just a strange couple. Although the woman had a great figure, her girlfriend was next to her, but she didn't dare to look too much.

Some people took a few more looks with doubtful eyes. These two people always felt familiar to some people, but when they looked carefully, they couldn't remember where they had seen them before.

"It wasn't discovered!"

The woman whispered to the man, with suppressed excitement in her voice.

The man touched his face. Said: "No, if we had discovered it, we would have been flooded by now."

This is He Chen and Yi Jingshuo. He Chen finished today's comics in advance and set aside a day to spend time with Yi Jingshuo.

The premiere of "5 Centimeters Per Second" was at 7:07 pm. He Chen accompanied Yi Jingshuo for a day of shopping during the day. He ate something to fill his stomach at noon, and then ran to watch a movie.

According to Yi Jingshuo's plan, after watching the movie, they happened to have a candlelight dinner for two.

For celebrities like them, there are almost no opportunities for honest dating. Every time she puts on makeup, Yi Jingshuo always feels a very exciting feeling, as if she is having an affair.

"Wow! There are so many people." Yi Jingshuo exclaimed exaggeratedly, as if for fun.

He Chen smiled helplessly. Apart from the premiere of his horror movie, was there any other time where there were not so many people?

"It's a good sign that there are so many people at the premiere. Let's go in too." Seeing the packed cinema, He Chen smiled very happily.

Watching five seconds on Chinese Valentine's Day is definitely a good sign.

The two of them came here in a hurry, and the movie tickets were naturally given to He Chen by the theater. It was almost time to enter the venue, so the two of them went to buy some popcorn and drinks, received 3D glasses at the door, and walked into the screening room.

"5 Centimeters Per Second" is He Chen's attempt and is Tianman's first 3D animated film.

At the beginning of the movie, Wang Jinhua put on his glasses, and a huge DM girl Tianman appeared in front of him.

The DM girl smiled and held a card in her hand, stretching it out as if she was about to give it away. On the card were two words "good person" written on it.

"5 Centimeters per Second" - Act 1.

After the name disappeared, a young girl's young and gentle voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

"Did you know? It is said that the speed is five centimeters per second."

Then the scene began to appear, and the audience seemed to see countless cherry blossom petals falling before their eyes.

What a nice view!

The first scene deeply attracted the audience. The powerful 3D effect made the audience even stretch out their hands to try to catch the falling petals.

"What?" asked a voice between a boy and a man.

"The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall is five centimeters per second."

Is this really a painting?

Some viewers even began to doubt, because the flashing scenes were even more real and detailed than the photos! Every scene makes the audience feel as if they are actually there.

It wasn't until the two talking children appeared in the picture that the audience realized that this was really a painting.

"Guishu, it would be great if we could watch the cherry blossoms together next year."

The scene is exactly the same as on the promotional poster, the two are separated by a railway, and the girl Mingli, who is still a child, says this to the boy Takaki.

This is like the fate of two people. They were originally traveling together, but they were separated by the railway. When the train suddenly appeared and inserted itself between the two of them, cutting off their sight, it also seemed to cut off their fate.

Along with this train, Wang Jinhua also fell into the intertwining of stories and memories.

In the story, Guishu, who has clearly transformed from a child into a teenager, receives a letter. In the clear and casual narration, he tells his own story at the end of the year when they were separated.

The beautiful handwriting on the letter seems to be the heart of a girl who has just begun to fall in love, narrating the sweet memories and ignorant longings.

"The last time we met was at the elementary school graduation ceremony. It's been half a year now... Guishu, do you still remember me?"

At the end of the letter, there is an uneasy question.

The trembling wry smile in the narration is full of the fear of being forgotten and the longing for a reply, which makes people's hearts twitch.

It's only been half a year, why are you worried about forgetting?

But it has been half a year. For them, who are still children, half a year is a long, long time.

Everyone will have this experience, such as looking forward to winter and summer vacations just after school starts. That long semester is really, really long for children.

Moreover, Mingli's worry may not be about a memory or a name. What she is afraid of is that the young and ignorant relationship that once brought her countless happy memories will be forgotten.

Still remember me?

This sentence echoed in Wang Jinhua's heart, and Mingli seemed to overlap with another figure that was deeply in his memory. Wang Jinhua silently said with certainty in his heart: Of course I remember!

How could I forget?

Just like the noble tree raising its head, the horizon is the afterglow of the setting sun: even if time passes, your figure will always be engraved on my soul!

With the development and popularization of the Internet, telephones, and mobile phones, traditional letters have almost gradually faded out of people's lives. But the exchange between Guishu and Mingli through that letter made Wang Jinhua feel like he was back to the days when he wrote letters more than ten years ago.

People who send text messages and emails will never know that when they write each word seriously, every stroke and every bit is full of deep feelings.

People who have never experienced instant communication will never understand the anticipation of waiting for a reply and the joy of heart at the moment of receiving the letter.

What I wrote at that time was a letter, describing my feelings.

Instead of the current paragraphs of text messages and emails that are pale, boring, emotionless, and seem to be wearing a thick mask.

In the classroom, as the sun set, Guishu sat quietly in the classroom alone, reading Mingli's reply.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Mingli received Guishu's reply and then sent another letter. The narration contained a hint of joy, which gave the whole story a layer of warmth.

Two separated hearts seem to be reunited using letters as a bridge.

This kind of romance is not a lasting alliance, nor is it a lifelong commitment to stay together until death. In fact, the emotions hidden in each other's hearts are never revealed from beginning to end.

However, the audience could clearly feel the slight change in the tone of voice that revealed his mood, and the look on Guishu's face as he silently read the letter even though he remained silent.

The audience clearly felt a kind of romance called "plain".

Plain as water, water drops penetrate the stone.

Wang Jinhua was a little lost. Although these were just two short letters, the stories behind the letters that were not shown in the animation came to his mind, because they were also his story.

He still remembered that when he was a child, his solid and beautiful pen handwriting was practiced just to let her read better letters.

Even save your pocket money and breakfast money to buy those beautiful and scented stationery papers.

Every time before writing a letter, he would make a draft on the paper, and then he would write it down on the paper stroke by stroke seriously.

As long as there is a mistake that makes the letter look ugly, he will throw away the letter paper equivalent to a breakfast, and then start writing seriously again.

The sweetness in my heart flows like ink and turns into handwriting, carrying my thoughts and the best longings and hopes of my childhood, flying to the other side of the distance.

At that time, he didn't understand what "love" was. (To be continued...) ()
