What'm I got to say towards this show?
Maybe many peoples were touching by the love story, and I never denied the power of LOVE. Just I found out more and more than love story......
What I mean is through the story, I knew more than that......
I felt more from the angle of Japanese teacher.
He got to leave, after the surrender of his country, after the turning position from a noble to a loser of a country......
Two countries or maybe two blocks brought out the SEPARATE ending...in the reality, there are similiar story and story running at that decade, it was hard to overcome and nobody wants to apart anyway, and yet the truth just told us that nobody ables to escape it.
I m feeling a bit stronger towards the Japanese teacher, maybe due to the reason I'm from Chinese Education, I love Chinese culture the most. Meanwhile I have chance to learn Japanese when grown up. At the same time, I also able to understand further about Japan's culture.Standing at the middle of two cultures, you may be confused sometime and struggled too at the starting stage.
My memory turned back when I decided to study Japanese...
Grandma: Why you want to study enermy's language? Don't you forget the suffer and experience that I told you when at WW2? (in Hokkien)
Me: erm......Nolah...(actually my brain searching for reason for HER) I just want to know more about enermy only la......
Since you know both cultures, both languages, though you are not the best in that, but both cultures immersing you and you are the CHILDREN of two cultures......
What else you can separate with? The native culture or the learning culture? Furthermore, when you found out that your soul actually came from the another culture and you forced to leave, to say sayonara, what will you going to do?
The Japanese teacher had the same feeling, I knew it and I understand.
Through the show, I found more than love.
Despite of that, I had strong eager to back to INAKA-- a simple, peace, quiet place which keep all the original things as their original places.
Cherish everything!
Old things doesn't mean that USELESS.
Some interesting and memorable sentences:
「我操你媽的台北!」
「留下來,或我跟妳走」
「我不是拋棄你,我是捨不得你」
「原本以為我能將美好回憶妥善打包,到頭來卻發現我能攜走的只有虛無,我真的很想妳!」 「啊,彩虹!但願這彩虹的兩端,足以跨過海洋,連結我和妳」 「這容不下愛情的海洋,至少還容得下相思吧!」 「思念這庸俗的字眼,將如陽光下的黑影,我逃他追…我追他逃… 一輩子」

These are the original love letters which copied from other website:
友子,太陽已經完全沒入了海面
我真的已經完全看不見臺灣島了。
你還站在那裏等我嗎?
第五封信/友子我真的很想你啊!
日文版:
七月のはげしい太陽のように、それ以上直視することはできなかった。君はそんなにも、靜かに立っていた。冷靜につとめたこころが一瞬熱くなった。だけど、心の痛みを隠し、心の声をのみ込んだ。僕は、知っている。思慕という低俗の言葉が太陽の下の影のように、追えば逃げ、逃げれば追われ、一生。友子、自分のやましさを最後に手紙に書いてある。君に会い、懺悔するかわりに、こうしなければ、自分を許すことなど少しもできなかった。本当にそうだと思えるまで、必死に思い込もう。そして、君が永遠に幸せになることを。いまでます。
你像七月的烈日,讓我不敢再多看你一眼。你站得如此安靜,我刻意冰涼的心,卻又頓時燃起。我傷心,又不敢讓遺憾流露。我心裏嘀咕,嘴巴卻一聲不吭。我知道,思念這庸俗的字眼,將如陽光下的黑影,我逃他追…我追他逃…一輩子。友子,我將我的愧疚寫在這最後一封信裏。因為,我無法當面向你懺悔,如果不這麼做,那麼,我絲毫都不能原諒自己。我深信,直到內心真的這麼認為為止。還有,希望你永遠幸福。我走了。
