Tales of West City 2: One Day

Chen Jianan in the second part is completely different. She opened a small store called "A Bookstore" and walked to work every day, wearing a white down jacket, quarreling with Maomao in the snow, buying Ashima for her grandmother, and telling Ni Xiaozhi, the girl in the store, how to cure acne. Live like an ordinary person. There is a passage in the book where she says to her grandmother: "I feel very good now. There is no pressure. There is a bookstore. Grandma is in good health and I have no worries." Maomao asked her: Is this the life you want? She said "Yeah". At that moment, Chen Canan was finally enjoying the moment and living openly. There is one detail I particularly like. She and Maomao were at the door of the bookstore when they saw a Porsche swerving past. Maomao said that the car was really nice. Chen Jianan said, "That's a Porsche 918. The global price is about 14 million. Even if you win the lottery, you can't afford it." Maomao asked how do you know so much, but she didn't answer. But I know it because Shen Shi drove it. She still cares about Shen Shi. But Shen Shi was different. Wearing a sweater and plain glasses (matched by Lao Zhang), he smoked a bag of three yuan a bag at the front door (because he had no cash), and said to Chen Canan, "Your life is more valuable than mine." This is not what Shen Shi in the first movie would say. Shen Shi in the first film would say "I protect you", but he would not say "You are more valuable than me". I felt that the former was looking down, while the latter was looking down. There was one section that I found particularly funny. They were on the path in the river valley. Chen Jianan bought Shen Shi a pack of Yuxi. Shen Shi opened it and smoked it, choking until his eyes turned red! And the part where he helped Chen Canan win back the tires at the poker table. He knew from the beginning that the tires were punctured by those two people, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he set up a game... Playing mahjong, betting on numbers, and asking for the other person's car after winning. Chen Canan asked him why, and he said, "I want your car." Later, Chen Canan learned that what she wanted were tires because her car couldn't be driven. This old man remained calm and you didn't react until he was done. In the second part, the grandmother suffers from Alzheimer's disease and becomes increasingly confused. Sometimes she doesn't recognize Chen Canan, and sometimes she thinks of her as her daughter "Xiao Lian". She always says "Xiao Lian likes it". When watching TV, she wants to watch "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" because "Xiao Lian likes it". When eating food, she says "Xiao Lian likes to eat this". "Xiao Lian" is Chen Canan's mother, who has passed away. Grandma's memory stays when her daughter was still alive. She lives in the past and in the world with her daughter. This is too cruel. There is a passage in the book where grandma is sitting under the eaves, and Shen Shi is accompanying her. Grandma said, "Xiao Lian will be here soon," but Shen Shi didn't expose it and just said "hmm." Grandma said again, "You are as good as Xiaolian", and Shen Shi said, "You are a compliment." Underneath that calm conversation was endless sadness. When Chunyu wrote about the death of her grandmother, she said, "When a person dies, it is silent, as if he had never been here." Suddenly I thought of Xicheng 1, when Chen Canan played "Have a Happy Journey" in the bar. Grandma wanted to hear this song. "That day we found out you were leaving, we didn't say a word." It was a metaphor. Later, Canaan said, "If grandma was still here, she would definitely like to run around with Duobao." This sentence makes me feel that Chen Canan understands the bond between mother and grandmother. When you love someone, you want to see the world with them. Bai Zhiyuan. It only happened once, when he sent a recommendation letter from a foreign music school to Lingnan. He didn't meet Chen Canan and just asked Aunt Ping to hand it over. I still remember that in Episode 1, he said to Chen Canan, "The world is big and you are the biggest" and "Nothing is more important than health and family." In his own way, he accompanied Chen Canan through the most difficult part of the road. Then at the right time, he exited her life. Later, he helped Chen Canan apply for the Conservatory of Music, which is valid until October next year, which shows that he has been preparing for it at least a year in advance. I figured that after Jani gave birth to her child, was out of confinement, and her life had settled down, it would be the right time to pursue her dreams again. Thinking about this world, there is a kind of love called "I hope you live well, even if your well-being has nothing to do with me." Bai Zhiyuan's feelings for Chen Canan are probably this kind. Sister Sa (Lin Sayan), although Chun Yu doesn't describe her much, every time she appears, she is wonderful. The second young lady of Jingyang City broke away from her family because of love and accompanied a man to teach in the mountains for three years. Later, the man died in a car accident, and she did not remarry. She said to Chen Canan, "If a person is particularly sad, most of them will not let you notice." She was talking about herself. It takes a lifetime to prove that for some people, loving them once is enough. The most special thing about this book is that Chun Yu only wrote the story in one day. At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Canan was walking on the way to the bookstore. At noon, she and Shen Shi took a walk on the path outside the camellia tree. In the evening, they got their hair cut and bought cigarettes at a country market. At night, Shen Shi said, "Let's get married." Just such an ordinary day. There was no grand confession, no life-or-death turning point. It was just two people meeting by chance, walking together for a while, talking a few words, and finally decided to get married. But it is this kind of ordinaryness that makes me feel very real. The most important decisions in life are often made on the most ordinary day. For example, when you go out in the morning, you don't know what will happen today, but by night, you are already tied to someone. Hey-hey. Chunyu said, "A small thing may change one day in your life, and at that time, you won't notice it." We always look back after a long time and realize that a certain day turned out to be a watershed in life. But at the time, I just thought it was one of countless ordinary days. The reunion between Chen Jianan and Shen Shi was such an "ordinary" day. Everything was so natural that it felt like they were meant to be together. Another thing I really like is that time flows very slowly in this book. From seven in the morning to seven in the evening, Chunyu wrote nearly one hundred thousand words in twelve hours! Every conversation and every detail is enlarged, elongated, and carefully traced. This way of writing makes us readers feel like we are standing beside them, watching them slowly approach, slowly test, and slowly determine each other's feelings. At the end of "Once Upon a Time in West City 1", Chen Jianan and Shen Shi separated. Chen Jianan said, "Please show me your noble hand," and Shen Shi said, "I will help you." Both of them felt that they would never see each other again in this life. But five years later, not only did they meet, they got married and had a child. How did we walk back? I think we should be honest with each other. Then, there are too many memorable lines in this book. Shen Shi said, "Your life is more valuable than mine," "I'm thirty-seven," "No one can be my master," and "Let's get married." Each sentence is short and light, but each sentence is as heavy as a promise. Chen Jianan said, "Let's wait until the next time you come to Lingnan." Shen Shi really came. He is not a person who waits, but he waited for five years for Canaan. The scene at the end of the text. The black car flashed, and Shen Shi got out of the car, walked towards Chen Canan, and asked, "Are you done?" It was as natural as if they had never been separated. "Want some candy?" Chen Canan asked. This ending is really touching. Sugar is sweet, which means the days to come will be sweet. The candies were the two orange-flavored fruit candies given to her by her grandma, which also meant that she shared her grandma's love with him. After reading "Once Upon a Time in West City 2", I suddenly remembered a sentence: "You can't meet someone who is too amazing when you are young." Chen Jianan and Shen Shi are actually the most amazing people in each other's lives. They experience misunderstanding, separation, hatred, and reunion. Fortunately, many years later, they are still standing by each other. If after reading Xicheng 1, what I remember is pain. After reading West City 2, what I remember more is warmth. And this kind of warmth is like the wind in March in Lingnan, like the pear blossoms blooming in the pear orchard in spring. Finally, I want to say that Chun Yu's writing style is really great (forgive me for my poor words). What I write is not a story, but a human heart. In this book, I also saw what I longed for but haven't gotten yet. Plain, firm, and long-lasting love. Thank you for the spring rain. After many years, I still think of the long and tender love story that happened in Xicheng. I hope that Chen Canan and Shen Shi can continue to be ordinary and happy like this in the parallel world.

That coder and Jiangcheng TV station hahahaha, Sheng Nan and Chi Zheng made guest appearances, yes

I read it again and finished the whole article! I can't bear to part with it [crying]

After watching the end, I felt a little more emotional and felt calm and comfortable. I really like the author's writing, simple yet powerful.

It's not easy to go around in circles for so many years

The name Turbot is really funny

Such a marriage is desirable

Will Teacher Bai publish a separate book of Chunyu [Star Eyes]?
