The Fruit of Life is a warm and moving documentary. What it tells us is life, fruit, an attitude towards life and an inexplicable love!
the wind blows dead leaves, and the fallen leaves give birth to fertile soil, which is rich in fragrance and fruit. It is tireless and unhurried.
The story begins with two lovely old people. Mr. Tsuduan and Ms. Eiko are a couple. Ms. Eiko is 87 years old and Mr. Hugh is 91 years old, but they still do their own things every day. They grow vegetables, fruit trees and cook by themselves.
a cabin far away from the prosperity, but extremely luxurious, two long-lived old people, three meals a day, four seasons, the most ordinary life, but people feel the deep love and endless enjoyment of life.
Two people help each other in life. Although they are both old people, they have lost their passion in their youth, but they still have a young mind. They have spent their whole lives explaining to us what caring for each other is. What is holding your hand and growing old with your son?
As an architect, Shoichi has a very advanced idea about the construction of cities. He advocates that cities should also have forests and buildings should be bathed in sunshine. Therefore, in many cases, his construction idea advocates the harmony between man and nature!
Eiko hopes to live an idyllic life. He wishes his wife Eiko's dream. I bought a piece of land and built a house by myself. Many trees were planted around the house.
There, all the year round, there are thousands of scenery. With the change of time, different trees will be full of all kinds of fruits. Red plums and cherries, yellow oranges and persimmons, brown chestnuts, and walnuts wrapped in blue skins.
when the fruits are ripe, the old couple will be happy to harvest these fruits. Xiuyi is picking fruit on the tree, and Eiko is holding a bamboo basket to pick fruit on the ground. This is the most simple life, doing it at sunrise and resting at sunset. Every day, enjoy this and not that!
whenever there are harvested fruits, Eiko will cook simple and exquisite meals, all kinds of jam, yogurt and cakes. Because there will be a lot of fruits every time, two people can't finish them, and they will mail them to their granddaughters and send them to their best friends. This is their happiest thing.
whenever the seasons alternate, they will change the appliances at home or change the position of the furnishings to create freshness for their lives! They will also do their own favorite things, write letters to old friends after a while, which is their most sincere way of communication. Eiko will cook all kinds of food, make all kinds of jam, and prepare a lot of his favorite food for Xiu Yi!
their married life is not rich. On one occasion, Mr. Tsuduan, whose monthly salary was 41,111 yen, said that he wanted to buy a sailing boat of 71,111 yen.
"I replied, I see. Then I felt very calmly that I had to do something. " Eiko said that after that, Eiko often ran to the pawnshop and pawned all useless things and kimonos.
"You can't tell him such a thing." Eiko said with some embarrassment.
Eiko said, "I will never stop him from doing anything he wants. I will support him and do whatever he wants."
Eiko is the only daughter of sake brewery, and her family taught her to keep smiling and work hard since she was a child. She can't speak freely until she marries Xiuyi.
I won't say "I love you" loudly, but I will try to make something he likes.
Eiko has done what she said, because she doesn't like potatoes, but she will cook a lot of potatoes to repair if she likes them. ?
Eiko once said that she thought about what you would do if she left first. It's no use trying to fix it. Life and death is something that the elderly will inevitably think of. As a result, I repaired and left first.
I rested after weeding once and never woke up. Eiko said that when my time comes and I turn to ashes, we can go to the South Pacific by boat together. What she regrets is that she should make Xiu Yi live better. So prepare breakfast for two as usual every morning.
I saw Eiko sitting at the table alone, serving two servings of food. This is an old man's love for himself for 65 years, a way of missing him. Of course, I hope more tears are smiles. This is only a short separation. They will always be in each other's hearts and indelible memories!
Even if she is alone, she will follow the life she likes, because she knows that this is life!
There will be all kinds of signs in the orchard. Because he has poor eyesight, Eiko has to do it himself every time he finishes it. I will leave a sign of love in my orchard, feed the birds with water in a water tank for forty years, write down the food I want to eat today with a wooden sign, and raise small flags when my family gets together.
Once my daughter accidentally broke this water tank, Eiko saw her panicked daughter and kept saying to herself, Don't complain! She wants to tell her daughter that everything is the best arrangement, so why be too persistent!
Eiko tried to make Xiu Yi happy, because she said that if Xiu Yi was happy, she would be happy, so she tried to find a way to make Xiu Yi happy.
This reminds me that Mr. Yang Jiang is not the same with Qian Zhongshu.
Qian Zhongshu lived alone while Yang Jiangsheng was in hospital. He often goes to the hospital to visit Yang Jiang, but he always says to his wife with a bitter face, "I did something bad again."
I spilled ink today and dyed the tablecloth of the landlord's house. Yang Jiang said, "Never mind, I will wash it."
I accidentally smashed the light again tomorrow. Yang Jiang asked what kind of lamp it was and said, "Never mind, I will fix it."
No matter what happens, Yang Jiang will patiently say "Never mind" to him, and Qian Zhongshu is therefore full of trust and gratitude to his wife.
Yang Jiang once said, "It is not easy for me to save his innocence, mischievousness and arrogance. Although it took me a lot of effort and physical strength, it is not awkward. "
The Fruit of Life not only tells us about love, but also tells us how to live, how to adjust ourselves and how to be a good wife and husband.
For nearly 41 years, Eiko only went to a supermarket she frequented. The cashier told the camera that Eiko was often seen shopping in her mother's generation. This is persistence, but also an inexplicable touch. Repair one and send a thank-you letter to the clerk after each meal, praising the delicious food!
Almost all the furniture at home has followed them for forty years. An oven, an old-fashioned refrigerator, and the tableware for eating are the best testimony of time!
simple life, simple home furnishings, full of warm and beautiful love!
The wind blows off dead leaves, which makes the soil fertile. Fertile soil can nourish the fruit, and the fruit grows slowly and firmly!
what is the fruit of life? Is to follow the laws of nature and grow slowly and firmly. The process of growth is the life we have experienced, which is sweet, sour, bitter, salty and savory. This is life, and this is life!
Life is ultimately simple and simple, following the inner truth, being kind-hearted, and having the ability to love in your heart. Living is like a fruit tree in the garden. The seasons change, and the years cycle, slowly and firmly, and the Tao is natural, so beautiful!
The Fruit of Life tells us the true meaning of life rather than the life of an old couple.
life is the simplest, three meals a day, four seasons, and so on and so forth, it is true!
Finding a soul mate requires more than gorgeous promises. Just simple food, even if you don't like it, you will cook it for the other half!
by the way, eiko is his best girlfriend. Eiko, on the other hand, never said those disgusting sweet words! They are like one person together. This is the love we yearn for!
Life is like a treasure chest. The real treasure chest is in the heart of Yukichi and Eiko. Their hearts are filled with the world, the whole nature and the original appearance of life.
Life is full of fruits, which depends on our hearts, whether you really want it, whether you really love life, or whether you really care about people around you!
In an interview, Eiko said that we don't have much money for future generations, and even if we do, we don't want to do this. We want to leave fertile land for them so that they can produce fruits directly on the land.
Perhaps this is the most priceless wealth in the world. It is more important than money. It is the fruit of life!
We need to live seriously, because the more serious you are, the better life will be!
