Chapter 877 Those Fragmented Memories

Meng Qiguang took out an old notebook with many traces on it.

"This is something I have recalled intermittently over the years. I am afraid that one day I will not be able to remember it, so I wrote it all down. If Director Li is interested, you can take a look together."

Li Yi looked over, and Meng Qiguang turned to the first page. On it was an old family portrait of a family of four.

"This is me." Meng Qiguang pointed to the youngest child in the photo.

"This is my brother." Meng Qiguang's eyes turned red as he stroked the portrait of the older child inside.

"I remember that my brother was good at everything since he was a child, and he was very handsome. He performed well in school and was also very talented in sports. He was always the champion in competitions. I was naughty and mischievous when I was young, and the teachers at school didn't like me.
In order to eat the mooncakes my mother gave me, I sold postcards at school to make money. Although my mother misunderstood me later, it was probably the most delicious mooncake I had ever eaten, right?
At that time, I was really happy, very happy.

Later, my brother couldn't run anymore because he was diagnosed with blood cancer. The doctor said he couldn't run anymore and needed to rest more.

Just resting couldn't make my brother better, so he left anyway.

After my brother left, I missed him very much. I remember my grandma said that as long as you throw your most precious things into the sea and fill the sea of ​​bitterness, you can meet your dead relatives.So I threw all the "babies" I stole into the sea, but I still haven't been able to see my brother again."

Meng Qiguang turned a page, and there were only some broken paragraphs written on it.

Meng Qiguang tirelessly told his story.

Li Yi, Mu Qing, and Chen Han couldn't help but have red eyes when they heard it.

And a movie also appeared in Li Yi's mind, "The Thief of Time", although there are some differences from the story told by Meng Qiguang, but coincidentally, there are also great similarities.

"I can't do it now, but I always hope that these things can be put on the big screen in my lifetime. I don't know if Director Li is interested in these old guys' past stories?" Meng Qiguang looked at Li Yi and asked.

"Yes, of course. In the magical life, time is the biggest thief. How about calling it "The Thief of Time"?" Li Yi said.

"The Thief of Time? The Thief of Time!" Meng Qiguang was stunned.

"Yes, I stole everything I could to my brother, but my brother's life was stolen." Suddenly, Meng Qiguang burst into tears.

After leaving the Hong Kong Island Light and Shadow Centennial Ceremony, Li Yi looked at Meng Qiguang's memory book over and over again.

It is confirmed and compared with the movie "The Thief of Time" in my mind, and it fits incomparably.

Maybe it's a destiny in the dark.

Of course, the stories of "The Thief of Time" and Meng Qiguang all happened in a relatively long time ago, and Li Yi is not familiar with many of them.

Because the story happened in the 60s, not to mention Li Yi at that time, even his father was not born at that time.

"Still watching "The Thief of Time"?" Mu Qing came out wrapped in a towel after taking a shower, and sat next to Li Yi. Seeing that Li Yi was still reading that book, she couldn't help smiling.

"Well, but it's a bit old, and I don't quite understand many things in it, such as the Diocesan Boys' School, the Mooncake Club, etc." Li Yi said.

"It's really a long time ago, why don't we go and find out if these places are still there tomorrow? Ask some old people to see?" Mu Qing said.

Li Yi nodded.

However, the next moment, Li Yi quietly closed the book.

Mainly the Mu Dao at this moment, how should I put it?

She has a mature and intellectual temperament unique to women of this age. When she is unguarded at home, the sexy style exuded from her always makes Li Yi intoxicated.

She can be said to be a ripe peach, with plenty of water, plump and round.

"Have you seen enough?" Director Mu said softly.

It's just that pretty and lovely appearance, how can Li Yi bear it?
After a long time, the house became quiet, the night was like water, the lights outside the window were dim, and there was silence.

Li Yi glanced at his wife who was already tired and deeply asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. He gently pulled his hand from under her tender neck, got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, came to the balcony, and clicked. a cigarette.

Looking at the Victoria Harbor under the night, this harbor city does have its unique charm.

After Li Yi finished smoking a cigarette, he couldn't help but walked in and took out Meng Qiguang's notebook, sat on the balcony, opened it, and continued to read.

Some things have their own unique charm.

For example, Mu Qing, Li Yi and her have known each other for so long, and they are very familiar with each other, but every time Li Yi can still find something new that attracts him from her.

For example, in this notebook, although the things recorded in it are all fragmentary, Li Yi can think that it should be some fragments that Meng Qiguang suddenly remembered, and then recorded them down casually.

But he was able to read the other party's childhood memories between the lines.

Many things in it are full of novelty for Li Yi, full of unique characteristics of that era.

This is probably something that people living in this era lack.

The next day, Li Yi and Mu Qing set off together, took the notebook, and went to the places recorded in it according to the memories of Meng Qiguang on it.

Many places have already changed, but Li Yi and Mu Qing can always find some "old people" to chat with each other about their past stories.

Everyone has their own story, different or ordinary, or wonderful, or the ups and downs of the past.

For example, the moon cake fair mentioned by Meng Qiguang.

For us today, many people don’t even eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, our era is rich in supplies, and mooncakes are more of a symbol, but mooncakes were a luxury at that time, especially for the people at the bottom. It is hard to buy, and it is something that people of our time can hardly imagine.

In the 60s and [-]s, before the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, it was possible to buy it only after many families raised funds together to book in installments.For example, the four members of the Luo family in "The Thief of Time" originally planned to each have half a mooncake, but the half box of double-yellow lotus paste mooncakes eaten by Luo Jiner may be the Mid-Autumn mooncakes for several families.

Therefore, this kind of movie full of sense of the times and full of regional characteristics may make many young audiences today have a half-knowledge, and even Li Yi himself will be at a loss if he doesn't understand it seriously.

It is actually not easy for Li Yi to make such a movie.

It's not that props and sets are not easy, but emotional cognition and understanding of that era.
