It was already three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day when I returned to Sanjiang City, but fortunately, Gu Xingrui's class was in the afternoon, and I succeeded in returning to class in a hurry.

At Wuhan Airport, Gu Xingrui and Liangliang broke up, and they had to go to Wuhan to find two friends, and they would return to Sanjiang in the evening.

After class in the afternoon, Gu Xingrui received a message from Tan Jiachang.

TalkingTalkingTalkingTalkingJiachang: Do you come out to see a movie? Wen Liang and I will accompany you to see the Avengers.

Pipire: You're back from Wuhan? Go see it tonight?

TalkingTalkingTalkingTalkingJiachang: I just came back, tonight, I'm off work, I'm coming to pick you up.

Pipiry: Okay.

Looking at Tan Jiachang's white Mercedes-Benz big G, Gu Xingrui suddenly remembered that the car before they went to Macau was put at Wuhan Airport, and it seemed that he drove back with Liangliang today.

I opened the door, but I didn't see the light. "Huh, what about Liangliang?" Gu Xingrui asked Jia Chang curiously.

"Oh, he's got something wrong and said he wouldn't watch it with us." Tan Jiachang was a little weak while talking, how could there be any brightness. Not to mention that the three of them watched a movie together, Gu Xingrui would not come out.

When he sent a message to Gu Xingrui, Liangliang really had a shy face and wanted to go to the movies with them. However, after Tan Jiachang finished sending the message, Liangliang was kicked out of the car, and then watched the white big G go away.

"There is a guy of the opposite sex, a guy who has no humanity", rubbed his butt that was kicked and hurt, and Liang Liang went back alone with a scolding.

"That's it", seeing that Gu Xingrui nodded, she didn't suspect anything, and an irrepressible smile floated on Tan Jiachang's face.

In the cinema, the tickets for the Avengers have been sold out, but there is a "Green Book" that they both love.

Today, Tan Jiachang wore a British-style suit, which was very formal, which happened to complement the movie he watched today.

The two found their seats and sat down, and at this point, there was still a moment before the movie began, and the two began to make small talk.

"You are dressed well and formally today", glancing at Tan Jiachang in front of him, Gu Xingrui said with a smile.

"The Green Book tells the story of 1962 in the United States, an era of racism. The topic of racism has always had a heavy and serious feeling, and what I wear today is a tribute to that era. ”

"That's it", Gu Xingrui nodded, it seems that Tan Jiachang has a sense of ceremony, but it also fully shows his love for this movie.

Gu Xingrui then asked, "Then do you watch the movie and pick the genre?" For example, comedy, sci-fi, suspense, or are all kinds of genres involved? ”

"I don't pick the genre, in general I pick the content. Compared with some straightforward and funny, movies with simple plot settings are not very attractive to me, and most of the styles I watch movies require people to be able to calm down and think. ”

Tan Jiachang is picky, for example, he likes to drink Starbucks coffee, but he can also eat an 8-yuan boxed lunch like Gu Xingrui. After staying abroad for a long time, sometimes I will dislike the wine in Sanjiang City is not very good.

The light dimmed and the movie began.

The story begins with Tory, a white man who works as a bodyguard in a bar, who is in poor family and violent and ruffian. In that era of severe racial discrimination, he was forced to make a living to drive for the world's best black jazz pianist.

Don Shirley began his concert tour in New York, and a friendship began between the two that transcended races and classes.

Indeed, as Tan Jiachang said, this movie has a certain background of the times, so the atmosphere of the whole movie is also cold. It's not as attractive as the special effects of the bells and whistles, and it needs to be watched calmly.

Soon, there were people in the cinema complaining that the movie was boring. Gu Xingrui looked around, most of the people who came to watch the movie were couples in love. For couples who blend oil in honey, they can't wait to share their happiness with the world, and it is really difficult to calm down.

There are also many young students who are difficult to integrate into this kind of movie.

Gu Xingrui and Tan Jiachang glanced at each other, with some helplessness in their eyes. The two of them quickly got into a state, and they were fascinated and pondered.

"It's a bit similar to "The Pianist at Sea", at the beginning of the endless sea, the plot is not advancing quickly, and you also need to calm down and savor it."

Tan Jiachang nodded, "Impetuousness is always difficult to produce works, and it is also true to be a person and to do things." ”

Automatically ignoring the questioning voices on the field, the two moved their eyes back to the screen.

Don, a black musician, is alone. This loneliness comes from the unfairness and discrimination of whites and society against blacks, from the huge economic and cultural differences with compatriots of the same color, and from the incomprehension and questioning of social classes with practical actions.

Looking at the formal dress and affectionate eyes, Tan Jiachang. Suddenly, Gu Xingrui understood why he had a soft spot for this movie.

Don Shirley, a black doctor, who is not accepted by white society and is not accepted by the black community. He stood alone at the junction of two societies, and his loneliness was distressing.

On a rainy night, he said bitterly to Tolly, "So if I'm not black enough, and not white enough, tell me, Tolly, who am I?" ”

Who am I? Who are you? People who lack a sense of identity are like duckweed, lonely and miserable floating in this world.

At that moment, Gu Xingrui understood Tan Jiachang's loneliness. He lives abroad, and his parents and relatives are in China. No matter how good the customs of a foreign country are, they are eventually isolated by cultural differences. After returning to China, Tan Jiachang said the most was to let his friends in China go to New Zealand to play with him.

When he went abroad, his girlfriend Fang Wei in China didn't understand him; When he was about to find one abroad and marry her, she said, "I like you because you don't look like most Chinese." ”

Maybe friends in China will say that he should come back, but the family's decision is not something he can change alone.

At this moment, Gu Xingrui looked at Tan Jiachang, just like watching the lonely and lonely Dr. Tang in the movie, with a long night and a lonely pillow.

Who would have thought that the appearance is glamorous and the small talk is generous, and the inside is also lonely. In fact, who is not, even if it is a monkey with a lot of money, he drinks and has fun with Gu Xingrui and them every night, and he rests when he gets drunk.

It's just that Gu Xingrui didn't say anything, and continued to accompany Tan Jiachang to watch the movie.

Behind Don's achievements in music is a night of loneliness and drinking. Always face the glory on the stage with a polite and elegant smile to solve the unfair treatment in life. But this smile is not fragile, because it has long since become dull and stiff in a humiliating life.

It is said that home is a warm harbor, but the lonely Tang has never been in contact with his brother. He thinks that his brother knows his contact information but does not come to him, so he is not willing to be the one who takes the initiative.

"Why does he have the courage to break the boundaries of black and white racism, but he doesn't even have the motivation to reach out to his family?" Gu Xingrui asked, the contradictions of human nature are intertwined in Tang, a "complex" individual.

But Tan Jiachang saw it thoroughly, and just said: "There are too many lonely people in the world who are afraid to take the first step." ”

"What about you? Are you? Gu Xingrui stared at Tan Jiachang's eyes and asked.
