In this distant town, time seems to be stretched, like the distant horses' hooves, moving slowly. The residents of the town live in this uneventful passing year, and everyone has a faint emo - the melancholy and contemplation characteristic of middle-aged people.
Li Ergou is one of them. He was over half a hundred years old, with gray hair and wrinkles of age crawling in the corners of his eyes. He often sits on the stone bench in front of the door, looking out at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and his heart is full of memories of the past. He was once a hot-blooded young man in the village, dreaming of conquering the world, but eventually returned to this small village and lived an ordinary life.
Li Ergou's heart has endless bitterness. The passion of youth has long been smoothed out by reality, leaving only a touch of sadness. He often said to himself: "Life is like the cycle of the four seasons, no matter how unwilling you are, spring goes to autumn, and it always changes quietly in silence." ”
His wife Xiaohua is a gentle woman who always advises him to let go of himself and not always get along with the past. Li Ergou knows that the past is like smoke, no matter how much he reminishes, it can only be a memory. But his heart is like being locked in an invisible cage, unable to extricate himself.
Other people in the town have similar feelings. Everyone has their own story, some are haunted by the past, and some are dissatisfied with the reality. But they all understand a truth: those who come should be pity, and those who go should be released.
In such a day, Li Ergou slowly understood that if he couldn't get out of his obsession, then no matter how he went, he would just be a prisoner. He began to try to let go of the burden in his heart, learn to reconcile with the past, and live in peace with reality.
At night, he would walk alone on the path in the fields, looking up at the stars. He remembered his wife's words, maybe he really should let go of those irretrievable pasts and embrace the life in front of him. He began to learn to be grateful for every sunrise and sunset, every spring flower and autumn moon.
As time went by, Li Ergou's smile became more and more. He began to participate in village activities, working and chatting with the villagers. He found that when he let go of the baggage in his heart, life became less heavy.
The rest of the town also felt the change in Li Ergou. They saw how a person who had been immersed in the shadows of the past slowly came out of his haze and regained the brilliance of life.
The story of Li Ergou, like this town, is inconspicuous, but it contains profound wisdom of life. He taught everyone a truth: life is not about getting along with the past, nor is it about being unable to live with reality, but about learning to reconcile with oneself and letting go of obsessions in order to truly live freely.
