1. The first night is always hard. You walked into the cage naked, just like when you were born. Hot powder almost makes you blind. When they put you in a cell and locked the iron gate, you realized that this was no joke. In a blink of an eye, life was destroyed, leaving only endless regrets.

I understand why some people think he likes to be cool. He is always reticent, and his actions are different from those of people here. He wandered around, just like walking in the park, living a carefree life, as if wearing an invisibility cloak, shielding the noise here for him.

We drink beer, the sun shines on our shoulders, we feel free again, just like repairing the roof of our house, we are as comfortable as the creator.

I think he is just reliving his freedom, even for a short time.

Prison is a strange place. At first, you hate it, then you get used to it. After a long time, you will become extremely dependent on it. This is "institutionalization".

At this moment, I can only understand, but I can't explain. Their songs have a beauty that can't be expressed in words. Beauty breaks your heart. Singing goes straight to the clouds, drifting higher and farther, beyond the gray dreams of frustrated prisoners, just like beautiful birds flying into our cells and disintegrating this cold high wall. At this brief moment, all the prisoners in Shawshank prison seemed to be free.

7. Have you ever felt the mystery of music? It is here that it makes sense, and music will never forget that there are still some places in the world that these towering stone walls can't close. There are still some things in people's hearts that can't be touched or taken away, and they belong to you completely. What are you talking about? Hope.

8. Bad luck is everywhere, and someone has to bear it. It happened that it was my turn. I met a tornado, but I didn't expect the wind to blow for so long.

9. Get busy living or get busy dying.

10. Some birds can't be caged. Their wings are too dazzling. When they fly away, you will understand that it is a sin to lock them up. But what is helpless is that their departure makes your residence empty.

1 1. Turn over a new leaf. I don't know what that means. To me, this is just a function word, invented by politicians, so that young people like you in suits and ties can have jobs. What do you want to know? Do I regret my sin? I don't regret it every day, not because I have been in prison, nor because you think I should regret it. It's just that when I look back ... that stupid little boy who committed a felony, I want to talk to him. I want to talk to him about the truth of life and tell him right and wrong, but I can't, because the child has long since disappeared, leaving the old man alone. I have to accept the reality.

12. If you have gone so far, maybe you can go further.

13. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing in the world, and good food will never disappear.

14. A free man begins a long journey with an unknown ending.

15. I hope the water in the Pacific Ocean is as blue as my dream, I hope. ...
