“Only Du Kang can relieve worries.” Chinese people regard wine as a good medicine for relieving worries. Some people say that "drinking to drown one's sorrows will make one even more sorrowful." Wine does not intoxicate you, it only intoxicates you. This shows that wine may not be able to relieve your worries, but it can only temporarily paralyze your nerves, allowing you to escape and forget your worries for a short period of time! So how can we truly get relief from sorrow? Only through the interaction of the soul and the salvation of the soul can we truly get peace of mind and body.
A small grocery store, thirty years of time and space intertwined, nearly a dozen people passed through here, and were saved. What is the mystery of the grocery store? Let’s uncover its mystery together. .
The story begins with three nonsensical thieves escaping late at night and hiding in a dilapidated grocery store. A letter from a strange Moon Rabbit caught everyone's attention. As an Olympic athlete, she has a hard time deciding between training for the Olympics and spending the last days of her life with her boyfriend. She hopes to get Mr. Naniya's guidance. The three of them thought it was a joke, but it was so sincere, so they wrote back to each other with doubts. They soon received a reply, and no one came, so the incident became more suspicious. Later, they discovered the mystery of the milk crate and the rolling shutter door. Time can intersect here for thirty years. They received a letter from thirty years ago. This The miraculous discovery made them even more excited.
They are taking things more and more seriously. They know that in 1980, Japan boycotted the Moscow Olympics, but they could not give evidence to convince the other party to give up training. They tried to scold her to wake her up. Soon they received another letter from Moon Rabbit, this time a letter of thanks. She also participated in the training. Although she was not selected for the Olympics and Japan boycotted the Moscow Olympics due to her political stance, she worked hard and had no regrets. Her boyfriend also left happily. This is the best ending in this world! A crooked reply helps others and is appreciated. This is a great reward for them who are on the verge of committing a crime. It is a salvation for both parties.
The second person who sent them a letter was Krone, an unsuccessful fish shop musician. He dropped out of school to pursue music and gave up running a fish shop. His seriously ill father left him torn between ideals and reality. Hesitant, he wrote to Naniya Grocery Store. The reply did not satisfy him. He felt that his musical dream had been humiliated, but the other party's words were irrefutable. When he was preparing to go to the "battlefield" in Tokyo with the promise he made with his father's man, he went to the milk box to collect the last letter, and the reply to the letter could not be seen by the writer, but But he told him, "Your persistent pursuit of music will never be in vain. I believe that someone will be saved because of your songs. The music you create will also be passed down. Please believe in it until the last moment of your life." The answer was impeccable, he was full of hope and firmly believed in his dream. He died saving Xiaoqin's brother in a fire at the Marukouen Orphanage.
Thirty years later, Mizuhara Seri, the unparalleled talented female singer who became popular in Japan, has been grateful to this only "relative" and continues to sing his song "Rebirth"! This is a mysterious prophecy. People in the future guide people in the past. The track of history has not changed because of the inextricable connections. However, it has made a girl’s life come true and also fulfilled the fish shop musician’s dream. Isn’t that right? What a redemption!
The really interesting connection begins when the owner of the grocery store, Yuji Naniya, appears in Chapter 3. This is a kind old man with a pair of hands that can mend the soul. Through the delivery of envelopes, he warms everyone who consults him. Thirty years later, through the "resurrection of one night" grocery store, he has received a lot of touches. It has also achieved the salvation of many people! He is a sincere and philosophical old man. Faced with his son's incomprehension, he has his own persistence. He wants to refill the holes in people's hearts and respect the privacy of every letter writer. No. A simple reply requires understanding the root cause of the client's troubles. The client will not struggle with an obvious answer, and a straightforward answer will also make the writer lose interest in consultation. You can truly understand a person through a letter. This is wisdom!
Originally it was just a small fight, but a letter from a boy caught his attention. It turns out that every answer he did will have an impact on people. The first is whether the letter writer follows his suggestions. , if the suggestions are implemented, he begins to face up to the impact on the consultant, good or bad, which makes his own old life richer. He also falls in love with the consultant's letter, which makes him feel valuable. I think this is the salvation of the old man himself. From the article, it is not difficult to see that the old man is an independent person. He does not want to trouble his children too much and guards his shop with a lack of business. However, in the troubles of consultation, he found the meaning of existence. Meaning, he is truly happy! In his letter, he listened to the pain of an unmarried mother who became pregnant. He also understood the little boy's incomprehension of his parents' late-night escape plan, and he patiently gave him advice to help them as much as possible. Behind that mysterious rolling shutter door lies the secret of the future.
Finally one day, Namiya Yuji reluctantly closed the grocery store. His son Takayuki Namiya thought it was because he was seriously ill and he felt powerless. Later I realized that he was afraid that his suggestions would not be able to help others. , he turned it off because he felt guilty.
Naniya Yuji, who was seriously ill, once again proposed to go back to the grocery store, but his son had no choice but to take him back. This time his father told him the secret of time interlacing. It seemed like a fantasy, but he personally witnessed his father receiving a gift from thirty years ago. Thank you letter. There are letters from 100% Xiaomaotou who became a teacher thirty years later, Midorikawa's daughter thirty years later (the mother who became pregnant out of wedlock), a large stack of letters, and a blank letter, all replies to Yuuji Namiya They all took it seriously and even replied to the blank envelopes. Finally, his father gave him a task. On the day of his father's thirty-third anniversary, the consultation window of Naniya Grocery Store was resurrected for one night, so that people who still remember the grocery store's reply thirty years later can write letters to reflect on the impact of that letter. And this has also become the link that connects the intertwining time of thirty years.
The little boy Kosuke who ran away with his parents late at night finally ran away alone with his misunderstanding of his parents, and changed his name. He was sent to the Marukouen Orphanage, where he learned to make wood carvings and met the helper Fire After the orphanage was rebuilt, Harumi Muto turned out to be a successful man who also had a relationship with Naniya Grocery Store. He decided to go back to the grocery store to have a look. He met Yuji Takayuki and learned that the old man had passed away and that someone had sent him the same gift. Story of a thank you note to an elderly person.
He saw the news about the resurrection night in the grocery store on the Internet, and also learned that his partner who loved the "Beatles" as much as him had passed away, and he also died together with his parents. In order to start a new life for him , his father wanted to protect him even at the expense of himself. Finally he understood his father's intentions, and also understood that the disbandment of the "Beatles" may not be due to betrayal, but just his own state of mind at the time. He wrote a letter of thanks and talked to him I heard that it was the same letter of thanks that Yuuji Naniya received.
The camera switched back to the dark grocery store, and the three young thieves received another letter from the lost puppy. The letter stated that she wanted to work as a hostess to make money to repay her relatives for adopting and caring for her, and to help her family overcome difficulties, but she was easily misunderstood, so she felt confused. At first they sneered at her, she was actually working as a hostess, and they had to stop those dirty deeds, but after understanding the reason, they also understood her, and finally told her about the development situation of Japan in the next thirty years and asked her to invest in real estate. She learned about stocks and the Internet, and gave her predictions for each period. Although it seemed ridiculous to her, she finally decided to try it, and she became a very successful person.
Finally, daybreak is coming, the time machine in the grocery store will not switch, and the three of them will also leave this place. But when they sorted out their thoughts and opened the stolen bag, they discovered that they had stolen it. It was Muto Harumi, the lost puppy, and there was a letter thanking the grocery store in the bag. It turned out that they misunderstood Muto Harumi and planned the theft. They decided to surrender and return the things.
When he was about to leave, Atsushi looked at the milk carton with a sense of luck, and there was a letter there. The blank paper he accidentally posted at that time received a reply from Naniya Grocery Store. The letter told him that it is precisely because of the blank paper that he has unlimited possibilities to describe himself, and everything is infinite. He sincerely prayed that he could burn his life to the fullest. This letter from the past illuminates their future. And by saving them in the future, we also saved many people in the past. The redemption of the past and the future, the redemption of the grocery store in the past, and the helpfulness, tolerance and love of the three thieves today can shine in everyone.
The intertwined time machines, cozy grocery stores, and fragrant milk crates bring the slightest warmth to people. In addition to the rolling shutter door that mysteriously travels through time and space, the Marukoen Orphanage that has witnessed the growth of many people cannot be ignored. Marukouen is another home for the young Kosuke after he left his parents. It is the only home for the one-year-old daughter of the unwed mother Midorika after her mother passed away. It is the first place where the talented female singer Mizuhara Seri and her younger brother feel warmth after they were abused. , it is the place where the fish shop musician’s soul sublimates, it is the spiritual paradise that Muto Harumi wants to support, it is the beginning of the mistakes of three thieves who saved the unemployment crisis... and it is also the source of all love. There is also that beautiful story here, about Yuuji Namiya’s first love, and the beautiful and innocent little time with the founder of the orphanage. It must become iconic!
If there was a time machine, if there was a rolling door that connected the past and the future, if there was a milk crate, and if Jieyou Grocery Store started receiving letters again, what would you most like to invest in the past and future? What do you want to give to your past and future selves? Readers are welcome to write in or participate in discussions!
