After watching this movie last night, I was so moved that I couldn’t sleep. I want to tell this story.
This is an old Taiwanese movie. The protagonist is Huang Yuxiang, a big boy who cannot see but can speak obediently and can play the piano very well. The movie begins with the story of his mother sending Yuxiang to Taipei to study at a normal university. This is the first time he has been so far away from home. At first I thought this movie was about her and her mother, and it was probably a sad drama. When I was about to turn it off, I suddenly realized that it was a story about dreams, friendship and love, and it was beautiful.
Yuxiang’s roommate is a music enthusiast who formed a band called Super Music, eager to make a splash in the final performance. Their music is very special, and the combination of instruments is even more bizarre, including piano, violin, guitar, and a B-box with a teammate's mouth accompaniment. Yuxiang accidentally met a girl with a nice voice, Xiaojie. She loved dancing but had to go to work in a milk tea shop early because of family obstruction. Xiaojie was heartbroken after being cheated on by her boyfriend, and started dancing again with the encouragement of the store manager and Yuxiang.
While she was dancing, the teacher kept whispering, "Don't be anxious, listen to the voice in your heart before you start." I was moved by the teacher and Xiaojie's ballet. For the first time, I felt that dancing is a dialogue with the body and soul. Trust your body and your body will cooperate with you. We are busy looking elsewhere, caring about other people's eyes and external needs, but we ignore the most important thing - our body. Xiaojie is afraid that she will fall behind others if she hasn't practiced dancing for a long time, but when the mind and body are integrated, unexpected results will be achieved. This integration itself is beautiful. The way Xiaojie dances with Yuxiang's accompaniment is really beautiful. I can feel the dazzling light emanating from her whole body.
Because Yuxiang won a prize in a competition when he was a child, his friends said that it was a consolation prize given because he could not see the teacher, so he stopped participating in any competitions. But Xiaojie's dream of dancing, the persistence of her roommates, and the help of substitute teachers, Yuxiang finally overcomes his fear and expresses his inner voice. He played cheerful music, but his mother and teacher cried, and so did I. It's hard not to be moved when you see a person devoting himself wholeheartedly to something, not for fame or fortune, but just expressing what he most wants to express. Music is really the most contagious thing. Although I can't understand his music, I closed my eyes and listened to his music, and my eyes became wet. This is a feeling I haven't felt in a long time.
I remember someone said that serious people are the most beautiful. I couldn't agree more with this sentence. When a person is committed to a hobby and is willing to work hard for it, he will have his own halo. His brilliance does not come from the amazing achievements he has made, but from his serious and down-to-earth investment. Have you ever seen people who are in love? They often unconsciously raise the corners of their mouths, and their faces are full of joy. This is the expression on the faces of people who work hard for their interests.
Recently, my illness has made me lose my temper. I was suddenly inspired to see Yuxiang and Xiaojie living so seriously and willing to overcome their inner fears for the things they love. I also need to embrace life more vigorously and manage my own interests and hobbies well.
In the past few months, I have come into contact with more and more talented people, and I can’t help but compare. But think about it, if you follow your inner feelings and do what you like, and work persistently, you will definitely gain something. Love itself is a beautiful thing. If you persist in doing beautiful things, you will naturally have beautiful results. Just like the dance teacher in the movie said, "Don't worry, listen to the voice in your heart before you start."
I like traveling, taking photos and making pictures. Every time I go out and take photos with my phone, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart. A friend said that when I talk about traveling, my eyes light up.
I wrote this article on my way back and forth from the hospital because I couldn’t help but want to share with you my feelings after watching this movie. I hope everyone can find something they love and pursue it persistently.
