Tony looked at the screen with tearful eyes, and the light and shadow on the screen illuminated his slightly wrinkled face.
He is getting older in the sketch, and his clothes and appearance gradually merge with his current self.
The last drawing sent by Detective Cat stayed in the bedroom of the ranch. The subject was a photo taken three months ago. He was standing in front of the porch wearing a thin sweater, with a tree at his feet. A mottled old small house.
It was Amy’s old cattery, a small craft he made with the help of a servant using wood, duck feathers and an old mailbox when he was a child.
Exactly thirty years ago.
He stared at the screen as if staring at a dream thirty years ago, the light of the TV flashing slightly in his eyes.
Dr. Jin Anqing was staring closely at Tony.
Mr. Sloth said that a person can only awaken when he faces his soul.
There is no accurate medical definition in psychology that can define what is such a vague and literary rhetoric as "awakening".
However,
Judging from Dr. King’s professional experience, when someone makes up his mind to make major changes in his life.
The eyes are always interesting.
He met a director of a local best-selling drama. After experiencing so many years of glamorous entertainment and a long affair, he realized that what he loved most was still his wife who was on the verge of divorce, and he made up his mind to marry her. Desperate to save the marriage.
At that moment, the director's eyes, which had been anesthetized by years of alcohol and "leaf", were frighteningly bright.
Dr. Jin Anqing read out the belief and hope of giving everything to keep good things.
So after the session, he called another psychotherapist in the western suburbs of Auckland to share the news.
The other party is the director's wife's psychiatrist. He and Dr. King happen to know each other well and are in the same industry supervision group.
As the couple's psychiatrists, they will communicate with each other to a certain extent and discuss their judgment on the director's marital status.
"He will not succeed."
On the phone, after listening to Jin Anqing's narration, the director's psychiatrist concluded in a very calm tone.
"Why is this time different? I can see that he is really determined. And their family income is very good. The director is a decent upper-class person with excellent performance and a good income. There is no external Pressure, as long as he is willing to make changes, why can't we wish him success?"
Dr. Jin asked strangely.
Generally speaking in the industry, a couple has been on the verge of marriage for a long time, has been entangled for a long time and has not divorced, and both parties are undergoing psychological counseling to adjust their status.
There is a good chance that this marriage can be saved.
At least somewhere in the hearts of husband and wife, there is attachment to each other and the good past.
“No, I don’tWould wish him success, that would not be a good thing for my client. And, this time is different. Misha finally figured out what a scumbag her husband was. She was determined to get rid of this struggling life. "
"She wants to get rid of all this and start a new life. "
"Are you sure this is not an angry comment?"
"Misha is desperate and fed up, she told me with her eyes. "The other party said softly on the phone. "When I looked into those eyes that were so sad that they gave up, I understood her determination. ”
“Doctor, the love affair is over and gone forever. His wife will never look back. If the director is determined to be a good husband, he may be able to have a successful marriage and grow old with another girl, but it won't be Misha. "The colleague said with determination.
Dr. Jin Anqing wanted to judge through his eyes whether Tony had reached the point of "awakening" as Mr. Sloth said.
If it was "awakened" What kind of expression will he show at this moment?
Is it like the director, knowing that Amy is always by his side, rekindling the desire for life?
Or is it? Like his wife Misha, recognize that the dead are gone and irretrievable. No matter how beautiful the past memories are, you must have the courage to start a new life
Dr. King looked directly at Tony
He found that he seemed to be a little undecided.
It seemed to be both, and it seemed to be somewhere in between.
p>
Detective Cat's drawings undoubtedly had a great impact on Tony's mind, and there was something surging under his gray pupils.
It was definitely not a pure desire to redeem himself. Or get rid of a single thought, and countless thoughts are intertwined like countless torrents.
Suddenly, the eyes of this forty-one-year-old mentally retarded child became complicated. Dr. Jin couldn't understand it.
Perhaps for Tony, awakening can be summed up in an equally vague and literary word, that is
Hope. p>
“Pandora. "Dr. Jin speculated on the name of this set of drawings.
Mr. Sloth named this set of drawings Pandora, probably not only saying that love is the painful punishment of human beings.
< p>In the legend, in Pandora's box given to mankind by the gods, undercurrents of war and famine surged, and plagues and disasters swirled around.At the bottom of the box. The last thing hidden is "hope"
In addition to bringing pain, love also brings hope.
Pandora is like the fruit of wisdom in the Garden of Eden. , Tony's life of chaos and self-deception is just like Adam and Eve before swallowing the forbidden fruit.
Life, enlightenment, and awakening are inherently painful things like this set of drawings.
p>
But as long as you bravely persist to the end, you willThere is hope that it will fly out of the box.
“It’s really delicious.”
Dr. Jin nodded slowly.
The charm of art really has something beyond the reach of cold medical forms.
That night, Tony was silent in front of the TV for a long, long time.
He stared at the drawing on the screen for a long time, then lowered his head and looked at the shadow under his feet that was pulled out by the light for a long time.
Tony just stood there without saying a word, like a silent old monk who had entered trance and wanted to stand until he was dead.
But even Professor Boggs, who has the weirdest personality, did not jump out and act like a monster. Everyone stayed around quietly, suppressing their excitement and wanting to witness the final outcome of this magical set of drawings. result.
"We, everyone are hungry, let's go eat."
After a long pause, Tony finally turned his head to look at his father. The old gray stuffed doll was placed on the table in the living room, shaking its head slightly.
This sentence is not both ordinary and ordinary.
It doesn’t sound like a viewing experience worthy of such a story-telling drawing written by Detective Cat.
Even in the quiet and solemn atmosphere of expectation, Tony's words seemed a bit nonsensical.
But in an instant,
Jian Arnold closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
These simple words fell into the mind of the illustrator, which is no different from Martin Luther King saying "ihaveadrea" or John F. Kennedy waving his arms to the camera and shouting "echoosetototheoon", which is as timeless and great and inspiring as Note.
Note that I Have a Dream and We Decided to Land on the Moon are both the most classic and familiar speech quotes in the Western cultural atmosphere.
"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to do it. We'll make whatever you want to eat." The old man patted his son on the back and said with sobs.
I saw the illustrator crying and crying.
Everyone present felt a little sour in their hearts.
Who among the fathers in the world does not hope that their children will become successful
Jane Arnold is the most successful illustrator in the history of mankind.
He does not expect his son to become a great man, nor does he expect Tony to land on the moon like Armstrong.
Jane Arnold’s wealth is enough for Tony to live peacefully for centuries.
He just hopes that the child can take care of himself normally, laugh when he is happy, cry when he is sad, and eat when he is hungry.
That's enough.
The old gentleman is already very satisfied.
Really satisfied.
Everyone filed out of the living room, but Dr. Jin still stayed tonight. After eating supper together, he still had some follow-up treatment work to prepare.
“A miraculous painting.” Ms. Anya felt that she had seen a great performance.
The assistant is much smarter.
He is a man of action, and Tony's reaction is not that important to him. However, after seeing his employer moved to tears, he has decided to start licking.
Congratulations, Ms. Detective Cat, Mr. Jane Arnold likes your work very much, and Tony also likes it. Let me tell you something: among the three artists, your work Pandora is the best.
I will tell you privately that even the famous Professor Boggs feels inferior to him, but don’t tell others.
To be honest, others find it incredible. But I personally am not surprised at all by this news.
The moment I saw the work sent to me, I knew you were the best knife painter in the world.
I love you so much
The painting is so beautiful. Especially the design of the cat transforming into a shadow is the best plot arrangement I have seen this year.
Thumbs up
I knew Jane Arnold made the wisest choice to invite you.
The assistant took out his cell phone from his pocket and kept tapping it as he walked without blushing.
The illustration world is a relatively independent area in the art circle.
With Schostic Group and Jane Arnold willing to stand behind them, the negative impact of the oil painting magazine is not that important.
Seeing this eldest sister is about to take off.
If you don’t rush up with your tongue out at this time, do you really have to wait for her to take off before licking her?
As long as you build a good relationship, these are all golden contacts that can be cashed in in the future.
Under the happy scene, Professor Boggs seemed slightly regretful.
After everyone walked out of the living room, only the professor looked back at the drawing that was still on the TV.
"Maybe I can't recruit her to come and be my student."
The old man shook his head regretfully.
"Humph, at least there are cats."
Boggs wandered around and found little "Amy" under the table who was still reading paintings, and squatted down Take the kitten away.
"It's her loss that she can't be my student, right?"
Professor Boggs put the cat on his head again and pouted.
A few time zones away, the sun is still shining in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Go west two roads from the gate of Dulwich College, Yangon’s largest railway station is located here.
From 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., there will be a small train traveling around the city every half hour to various scenic spots around the city.
Attentive enough tourists can even find the antique doorless train that can fit into the railway museum under the black mold stains with a sense of history at the connection between the carriages. The words "Kururi Line Railway Co., Ltd." during the Japanese occupation in 1942.
It feels more ancient than railways and trainsIt is the Yangon Central Railway Station itself. It was built in 1882 on the order of the British Governor in the Far East. It is a genuine product of the Victorian era.
George Orwell served as a privileged British police sergeant near this station and witnessed the bloody colonial past, thus imagining and writing Burmese Years.
It feels quite good to use this ancient building as a memorial hall.
It is too inconvenient to serve as a trade hub for a modern city with a population of millions.
"Pass permission no, no, Simimasai, it is not a passport that requires permission"
Under the clear and calm sky, the bearded policeman was looking at Katsuko Sakai's The female bodyguard muttered something, as if to show her professionalism and internationalism. Even though the bodyguard could speak very fluent Burmese, the policeman insisted on adding a few stumbling English and Japanese words into her words, and asked what she said. Ms. Sakai in the past waggled her fingers frequently.
"Is there any problem?"
Sakai Katsuko was carrying a small schoolbag.
She looked at the policeman entangled with the bodyguard a few meters away, and turned her head worriedly to look at the boy beside her. "I have brought my passport. Do I need any special permission to take the train? Do I need to call my mother and ask her to contact the embassy?"
Gu Weijing comforted him with his palm and hung it on his chest. The engine head turned on the steam, and Awang meowed wildly in shock.
Today is strictly speaking, he and Ms. Sakai’s first weekend trip as a couple, to visit the Royal Botanic Gardens in Yangon.
The journey is not far.
Sakai Katsuko suggested that you want to experience a sightseeing train.
Google Maps says that the scenery along the railway is very good. Walking through dense forests and bridges across rivers, it seems like walking through an Impressionist landscape.
And objectively.
This may be one of the oldest old-fashioned locomotive lines still running in Asia. It is difficult to have such a retro experience elsewhere.
To be precise, this is not even retro, but really ancient.
Mrs. Sakai researched the itinerary. The Botanical Garden is only a few dozen kilometers away from the center of Yangon. If you go in the morning, you can come back before dinner.
She assessed that there was no risk of a local pig sneaking in the cabbage.
With a wave of her hand, the blond aunt reluctantly approved the idea of Shengzi and Gu Weijing going on a collecting trip together, but Mrs. Sakai, the parent, did not have to be a light bulb.
Bodyguards are a must, this is completely non-negotiable.
In addition to protecting safety, he can also work as a laborer to carry some painting supplies, and he can also act as a spy for Mrs. Sakai, tracking and reporting the two's itinerary at any time to avoid the risk of accidental "fire".
Since we definitely can’t live in a world of two.
Gu Weijing extinguished his charming thoughts and asked Uncle Alai to take Jasmine with him. He even didn’t forget to bring the cat. In order to prevent Ah LaiWang ran away.
Hang it on the chest with a pet carrier like a baby.
A couple’s trip turns into a thorough outing with family and friends. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
