Du Hailing: Olive trees and others in Mitsui Island.

Author: Du Hailing

When I came back from Suzuki Island, I still wanted more. On the eighth day, I watched the movies Twenty-four Eyes and Cicada.

A long time ago, my mother told me that she had seen a Japanese movie called Twenty-four Eyes, which was very beautiful and touching. That is the story of a female teacher and her 12 students.

I lived in Japan for more than 30 years before I met him.

This film is an anti-war film calling for peace, so it is often arranged in Japanese TV programs in August. I saw it for the first time in the movie "Village of Twenty-four Eyes". After sitting in the cinema for a few minutes in a hurry, I couldn't help crying, for fear of ruining the interest of my companions, and because time was tight, I left the movie at home.

The synopsis of the movie comes from the Internet:1On April 4th, 928, Hisako (Hideko Takamine) went to a branch school of Fushan Primary School in Seto Inland Sea. The children here will not be transferred from the branch school five miles away to the general school until the fifth grade. When she appeared in the village on a new bicycle and in a suit, it brought a great impact to the village. In this way, for the first time, she stepped onto the podium of a branch school with only 12 students. But the next day, she sprained her foot and went to the hospital. The children walked eight kilometers to visit their teachers and took commemorative photos. Dashi transferred to our school to teach because he couldn't ride a bike. Five years later, Japanese militarism continued to advance, children moved to our school from the branch school, and Dashi got married. Because of the war, the children suffered many changes. Dashi began to have doubts about education and wanted to quit his job as a teacher. Eight years after the graduation of "24 Eyes", in the historical turmoil of the China incident, and in the signing of the Agreement on Preventing * * * by Japan, Germany and Italy, all the children in those years died and were disabled. Dashi once again set foot on the platform of the branch school and shed tears with excitement.

Capblanche is still the same as before, and the tables, chairs and piano are still there.

The eighth day cicada is also shown in the movie village, which is also a very good movie, so I won't introduce it here. I watched it even after I got home, mainly because I wanted to see the scene inside-coming back from a scenic tourist destination and having a good experience, and then seeing the scene there from the movie, people would probably have a feeling of reunion. I watched the movie "Grand Theatre" the other day, in which the Moscow Grand Theatre appeared repeatedly. I looked particularly cordial, because when I went to Moscow last summer, I stayed in a nearby hotel and passed by every day (although only for two or three days).

Get down to business. One of the important attractions of Otaru Island is this movie village, and the other is the Olive Garden. In fact, Otaru Island has an indissoluble bond with olives. 1908, Xiangchuan County was entrusted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce to plant olive trees, and Xiaoyue Island had the earliest olive tree industry in Japan. So all kinds of olive oil-related items in the gift shop.

When I saw so many olive trees and olives on them in the olive garden, I thought, "Oh, so you look like this." This joy, first, because when I was a child, there was a kind of candied fruit called "flat olive" in Shanghai, which left me with the flavor of childhood. Second, because the first "olive tree" left a mysterious, distant and beautiful impression in people's hearts.

Sanmao is so romantic. Her lyrics are simply the most standard gesture of young women in literature and art: don't ask me where I come from/why I wander far away/why I wander far away/for the birds flying in the sky/for the streams flowing gently in the mountains/for the vast grassland/wandering far away/wandering/and/or for the olive tree in my dream.

This gesture implies that Wen Qing people: beauty must be far away, but in a dream, it will definitely not be in front of them. If you want to be different, you have to show an erratic and ethereal appearance.

My partner and I ate a sweet olive ice cream in the olive garden. We really want to have a hearty lunch in the restaurant here, but under the influence of the epidemic, there are very few tourists, and all six restaurants coldly write "closed", which is really chilling. The only thing you can eat is ice cream.

It's time to exercise after eating ice cream. This olive garden is the shooting place of "The Witch Family Gang". A broom was put out, and the sparse tourists took a group photo under the windmill with one hand.

After bidding farewell to Otaru Island, we went to Naoshima. This island is very famous for the Setouchi International Arts Festival. There are several art galleries on the island. One of them needs an appointment. After making an appointment on the bus we were going to, we got off and had to wait. It was about 10: 45, 10 minutes ago that one person was asked to change tickets. The notice reads: Since most of our island are elderly people, please cooperate to prevent infection.

When you enter the gate of the art gallery, you are not allowed to take photos and videos. So I found the scenes of two art galleries from the Internet.

It's ten minutes' walk from Dizhong Art Museum to BenesseHouse Art Museum. Sure enough, the restaurants here are closed. Under the guidance of the girl in the gift shop, we came to Dujuan Village, which is where we got off the boat from Naoshima and took the village bus. It is a transit station and the starting point of free buses circulating between several art galleries. In this coffee shop in Du Fuzhuang, I casually ate a roast beef mixed rice. Although there are few tourists, there are many bathrooms here, which shows how crowded it is in the peak season.

After lunch, it is two o'clock in the afternoon. Our return boat is at 4: 30 p.m. I suggested to my friend that it's less than 5 kilometers on foot instead of taking the bus. I'll meet you at the port in an hour, in front of the red pumpkin in Yayoi Kusama.

I like walking alone for a long time, just as I like laughing with my friends. On a strange island, walking between mountains and rivers, green leaves and wild flowers are swaying, emitting the fragrance of grass mixed with soil, in the humid air by the sea in the forest. Besides, this art island has various shapes everywhere.

During the one-hour walk, I met four girls from an international school in Tokyo, but only two of them were seen by local residents.

This is the work of China artist Cai Guoqiang in Naoshima, which shows the fusion of eastern and western cultures with Taihu Stone.

There were almost no people along the way, only the sky, the sea and the road under your feet. Stop and go, meet your friends at the port. The journey has been basically completed.

Those who want to go refer to it and simply write down the itinerary:

On the first day, it takes about an hour to fly from Tokyo to Takamatsu. I took the airport bus from Gaosong to downtown and went to Chestnut Forest Park, which is a famous garden and scenic spot. At that time, there were few tourists, and piles of them were waiting to feed koi fish.

Go to Gaosong Port from Lilin Park and buy a boat ticket to Qingshui Island. I stayed in Azukijima for two nights. On the day he checked in, he saw the sun for all his glory.

The next day, I rented a car from the hotel around the island, the "24 Eyes" movie village and the olive garden. It is cloudy with light rain at dusk.

On the third day, go to Naoshima. BenesseHouse Art Museum is designed by Tadao Ando and integrated with the hotel. If you have time to stay on the island for two days, you can stay in a daze. Return to Takamatsu Port from Naoshima, then go to Takamatsu Airport from the port and fly back to Haneda.
