It's night.

Professor Ann was drowsy with his wife in his arms.

A light suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a dull thunder, accompanied by the sound of dripping rain—

It's raining.

Professor An woke up suddenly, looked out the window, and then cautiously got up.

He crept out of the bedroom, and before he had time to put on his clothes, he came to the door, and the dog in the kennel, who seemed to have not been asleep, began to bark at Professor An.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid ......"

Professor An touched it on his right hand, as if he wanted to find an umbrella, but he couldn't find it, so he could only rush to the kennel in the rain and pick up the dog.

The rain was heavier.

Professor An shielded the dog from the rain with his body, carried it into his study, and took out a blanket from a box and wrapped the dog in it:

"It might be a little cold. ”

He looked at the dog and smiled, but he sneezed.

The dog licked the back of his hand and whined, like an awkward comfort.

In front of the screen.

The audience watched this loving scene, and there were stars in their eyes.

"Professor Ann is so kind. ”

"It hurts me to see it. ”

"Sure enough, dogs are true love. ”

"Professor An, don't catch a cold. ”

"He turned his study into a kennel, and his tolerance of his wife is actually a kind of respect, such a man is really good. ”

“......”

The relatively delicate female audience seems to be particularly touched at the moment, but Professor An's personality charm is gradually highlighted with the lines and temperament, with the creation of this plot.

This is a suave and mature and kind man.

The dog spent a warm night in the study.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Ann woke up and found Professor An wearing glasses and reading a book on the sofa in the living room.

"You woke up so early today?"

"Yes. ”

"It seemed to rain yesterday. ”

"Sneeze ......"

"You have a cold?"

Mrs. Ann walked to the door with some suspicion, but saw that the dog was staying quietly in the kennel and wagging its tail at herself.

It turned out that Professor An deliberately got up early just to send the dog back to the kennel early in the morning so that his wife would not find out.

His expression is calm, his acting skills are superb, and his wife can't see the slightest flaw.

Staring at the courtyard after the heavy rain, and then at the dog, Mrs. An bit her lip and turned around:

"Take some cold medicine. ”

"Already eaten. ”

"Will it be sent away today?"

"Yes. ”

"Preferably. ”

His wife still didn't want the dog to stay, so Professor An had to go outside to find the dog's owner.

He posted leaflets on the streets in the morning, went to pet shelters in the afternoon to find out the news, and even contacted a friend of his who had pets at home to ask if the other party had any intention of owning a dog......

As a result, after a few days, nothing was found.

Professor An can only continue to live like this, every day while his wife is asleep? Taking a dog to the study? The dog was returned to the kennel the next morning.

On the contrary, when Professor An's daughter came to visit her parents at home, she was attracted by the cuteness of the dog at first sight? Pleasantly surprised:

"I love it! What's its name?"

Mrs. An glanced at Professor An: "It's called 'Send it away tomorrow'." ”

Professor An smiled gently.

The daughter ignored her mother's sarcasm to her father? After thinking about it, he said, "How about calling it Hachi?"

Professor Ahn's smile froze.

Mrs. Ann's hand making coffee? It was also a sudden, and then through the window? Look at the kennel that has been repaired.

"It's been eight years. ”

The daughter suddenly whispered: "It's been a long time since Xiaoba died? It's been exactly eight years, maybe it's the reincarnation of Xiao Hei, and it's coming to us......"

Mrs. Ann's expression was calm.

Professor An suddenly smiled: "Then call it Xiaoba, what do you think, wife?"

"With you? Anyway, it won't be long. ”

Mrs. Ann left steaming coffee? Almost embarrassed, he turned back into his room and buried his head between the mattresses.

After a few moments, Mrs. Ann got up and opened the drawer and took out a photograph.

In the photo, a group photo of a family of three, at the feet of the three? It's a dog.

It turns out that Professor An's family also had a dog eight years ago, just for some reason? The dog died.

Mrs. Ann is reluctant to have another dog because she is afraid of another blow? Maybe it's because of the appearance of this dog? It always reminds her of the pet she once loved.

"I see. ”

This is the reason why Mrs. Ann is reluctant to have a dog. ”

"I seem to understand? Have I ever had a cat? Then the cat ran away and was never found again, so I cried for a long time, and since then I have not dared to have a cat. ”

"Mrs. Ann isn't that annoying. ”

"Because I have given affection to the dog in the past, I am so resistant to the new dog, this kind of mood is difficult for outsiders to understand. ”

"Did Professor An bring the dog home with the purpose of comforting his wife?"

"Of course a gentle man like him would have such care. ”

“......”

The audience seemed to have some sympathy for Mrs. An, and this sympathy gradually covered Mrs. An's indifference to the dog.

"Hachi!"

The naming of his daughter made Professor An start to call this dog Hachi.

He tries to take the initiative to understand Hachi's habits and play with them, and during the day, when Professor An is playing the piano, Hachi will listen quietly or lick the music on the piano......

The style of the film is very light.

The story told didn't make much of a splash either.

But the audience did not find it boring and boring, but watched it with relish, and the whole theater was full of warmth and joy.

Everyone wants to believe that this is a warm story of a family soothed by the appearance of Hachi after eight years of losing his beloved dog.

The movie uses children's storytelling to show a flashback.

The occasional slow motion, or long shots that increase the sense of realism, as well as the natural pursuit of depth of field in the warm film, all tell the story of this man and a dog in the most peaceful way in the first 20 minutes.

The soundtrack begins with a slow-paced piano.

From time to time, there will be a dog's perspective in the movie, black, white and gray, which also allows the audience to experience Hachi's feelings to the greatest extent.

However, Mrs. Ann's heart knot is not so easy to untie.

She began to try to kick Hachi out of the house.

As a rational woman, she doesn't want to be dominated by soft-heartedness.

Hachi stood at the door, facing the closed door, from yelling, to whimpering, and finally lying down, but he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

At this point, the camera pans to the door.

The audience was stunned to find that after Mrs. An closed the door, she actually did not go back to the room directly, but stood in a daze.

Dusk is coming.

Mrs. Ann finally moved, and she looked out carefully through the crack in the door, only to look into her eyes at Hachi at that moment.

"Wang, Wang!"

Hachi screamed, very cheerful......

Mrs. Ann's tears flowed down at once, and she turned around and returned to the room with firm and heavy steps.

Abandoned like that?

Some viewers felt a strong sense of intolerance.

Then in the next moment, the bottom of the audience's heart suddenly crossed a light, so that the eyes were slightly sour!

Click.

Hachi actually arched the gate with his head and returned to the courtyard, his cry became more and more cheerful, and in the sudden acceleration of the piano rhythm, his cry was so joyful!

Originally......

In the end, Mrs. Ann unlocked the door, but she just kept it behind and pretended that it was still locked.
