This book records the 120 last words of the actress Shu Xilin who died of illness on September 15, 2018. Aging, loneliness, illness, work, family, marital relationships... These are all high walls that everyone will encounter in the journey of life. How should we overcome them? The revelation lies in the words of Ms. Shu Xilin during her lifetime. This book is compiled from the most touching parts of Ms. Kuki Shirin's speeches in interviews on various occasions, including interviews in the NHK special "Living Like Shirin Kuki" and the Asahi Shimbun's serialized "Life Message" column. Ms. Shu Shilin, who has practiced "letting nature take its course" throughout her life and remained true to her true self until the last moment of her life, is full of her humanity and philosophy of life in her forthright words. Not constrained by prejudices and common sense, she laughs at life, and no matter what difficulties she encounters, whether she is aging or sick, she regards them as the "nutrient" to survive. This is the kind of tree Xilin whose many words will inspire us a lot. In short, look at the world with an interesting attitude. At the same time, this book also includes a large number of secret photos provided by family members, as well as precious stills from memorable TV series.
