Talking about photos of retired couples.

Douban scored as high as 8.8 points, and was nominated by 12 for the first youth film screening and the 55th Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary. The documentary "Four Springs", which cost only 1500 yuan, touched countless audiences with a plain and true recording perspective.

This is a family documentary. The youngest son in the family goes to his parents and relatives for the New Year. It records the trivial daily life of family members in 20 13-20 16 years. The details are ordinary and unadorned, but they are full of incomparable warmth and strength.

The year is approaching, and in this age when the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker, this film makes people feel the meaning behind those seemingly repetitive days. Some netizens said: "I especially want to go home for the New Year after reading it."

Director Lu Qingyi and his family live in a small town called Mawei in Guizhou. This film is a gift for his parents.

He said that when parents were young, they used to take pictures to record their family time. When they first got married, their family was so poor that they didn't even have a pot to eat, but even so, they had to find someone to take pictures of the whole family every year, and the photos were the physical evidence of their memories.

My father, Lu Yunkun, is a gentle retired physics teacher. He usually loves music, knows more than 20 kinds of musical instruments and is versatile. He made many erhu and flute instruments at home by himself.

Mother Li Guixian is full of enthusiasm and drive. She loves folk songs and studies all kinds of folk songs hard, which makes her famous in the town. Mother Lu loves life and is ingenious. When she was a child, she could sew the clothes worn by children in activities one by one according to the picture book.

Because of their love, music became their daily life. Whether doing housework, eating, climbing mountains, or in leisure time, mother Lu will come to a folk song and dance anytime and anywhere.

"The blue sky is like the sea, the wide roads are dusty, and they come from all directions through forests and oceans ..."

She said: "People without art are not expensive, and people without art are stupid."

Lu Qingyi told the story of a fire at home when she was a child in an activity.

A sudden fire burned the house dark, and the father and son were at a loss. Then my father dug out the violin with burnt back and sat on the well platform in the courtyard to play the piano. Although the sound of the piano turned into a rustle because of damage, it extremely calmed his and his father's emotions and calmed him down slowly.

Perhaps it is with the company of music that they are full of enthusiasm for life and their vitality grows wantonly.

When I was young, I was short of materials and my living conditions were very difficult. In order to improve their lives, the couple borrowed two sledgehammers from the town. It took them more than half a year to reclaim two pieces of flat land in front of their house, pick black soil to grow vegetables, and drove people around them to the back mountain to reclaim land.

Every New Year, they make sausages and bacon unique to their hometown and carefully prepare Chinese New Year meals. Mother Lu said, "Although they can't eat much, they do it every year. If not, how can it be called Chinese New Year! "

Every morning, Dad Lu runs in the morning to keep fit, plays musical instruments, writes couplets, repairs stools, raises bees and takes care of flowers and plants. He said, "at least do one more thing for your family every day."

Mother Lu is busy every day, but she doesn't forget to feel the fragrance of honeysuckle.

The dandelion on the balcony is blooming, and the two of them are blowing dandelion with great interest, happy as children.

Swallows come and fly, year after year, day after day, and every ordinary day reveals the innocent love of the old man for life.

This kind of love and exuberant vitality make families that have not been well-off for decades or even have many difficulties full of laughter, enthusiasm, optimism and self-improvement. These beautiful qualities are portrayed bit by bit in the imprint of children's growth.

Lu Qingyi said that his father is probably the gentlest person he has ever met, and he has never heard a complaint from him in his life.

My mother was superstitious, so my father said, "Ignore her. When she is tired of tossing, she will naturally not toss. " . Anything will do as long as it doesn't affect your health. "

Mother dares to love and hate, and is resolute. When Lu's mother was young and in love, she heard someone laughing at Lu's father because he was too poor to even have a pair of shoes. She went home and wept bitterly. Then it took three days to make a pair of shoes for dad Lu, which usually takes half a month to complete.

The old couple have taken care of each other for more than 50 years. Every detail of life is full of affection for each other.

Two people cut each other's hair.

In their spare time, they sing with their wives and bring out the best in each other.

Before going out to climb the mountain, the two dressed up and posed, laughing brilliantly like spring.

Under the long lens, the two listened to the same song, one sewing and the other singing, each immersed in their own world, as beautiful as men plowing and women knitting.

On their wedding anniversary, the old couple drank a glass of wine and told each other to stay healthy.

Go up the mountain hand in hand every year and sing folk songs while walking.

Organize old photos together under the lamp.

After learning to use WeChat to send voice to each other, the two had a great time.

Feeling that the porridge was delicious, Father Lu immediately fed it to Mother Lu, who was not busy yet.

Mother Lu was making flowers on the balcony, and father Lu took a straw hat and put it on her carefully.

When watering the vegetable fields, father Lu stood behind mother Lu with an umbrella, shielding her from the sun.

Share joys and sorrows, join hands for life, sing harmoniously and rely on each other. The best love in the world is probably nothing more than that.

Children who grow up in the warmth of their parents' love witness the most beautiful face of love, and the seeds in their hearts will sprout and bloom.

Before the arrival of the third spring, the pain caught off guard, and my sister Wei Qing was seriously ill and died.

Wei Qing is healthy, cheerful, optimistic, loves to laugh, and has the same temper as her mother. When I was seriously ill in hospital, I looked haggard, and the huge contrast between before and after made people sad and tearful.

White-haired people send black-haired people. Although their hearts are torn, their parents are extremely strong.

There is no sad crying, and all the sadness is condensed in the words of the crying old artist: "Let me ask, dear day, is the journey dangerous ... I want to be with you and take care of my housework. I am looking forward to it, my tears are flowing, my head is in Dai Xiao ... It's so noisy. In the end, I will send paper and inkstone, teach me all my life, speak clearly for you and listen to the crying carefully ..."

At the funeral, Lu Qingyi fainted from crying. When she got up, her mother said, "Life goes on. You have to keep doing what you want. My sister is still here and we are still together. "

From now on, every year they will leave a pair of chopsticks for their sister Wei Qing on the dining table. The old couple planted vegetables and flowers in front of their daughter's grave and often went to weed, water and clean.

Grief can't be eliminated, so it will always be in my heart. After the snow, the old couple cleaned the Wei Qing cemetery, and the scene of back-to-back silence made me cry. Everyone who has experienced the death of a loved one can't escape this pain.

Sick and sick, no one can escape. With a positive and open-minded attitude towards life, the couple let the children know how to face the hardships in life and the inevitable pain and parting.

Lu Qingyi burst into tears.

This is a family that never hesitates to express love and gratitude.

Parents give their children the best love and education, but they just turn their lives into poems, which is the most real power.

The promo reads, "Let's look for difficult answers in life!" "

The meaning of life itself is not so profound and obscure, it is in every trivial daily killing and every repeated day. And the passage of time will make every detail shine in memory and become the most solid and soft force in our hearts.

Live hard and treat every moment with heart. This is the most beautiful appearance of life!
