Taiwan veterinarian Du Bai once said: "The relationship between a dog and its owner is like a traditional and old-fashioned marriage. There is no idea of separation and divorce. Dogs do not understand betrayal, deceit and doubt."
10 For people, the year may be just a fragment of life, but for dogs, it may be their life. The life span of an average dog is about ten years. In the movie "The Story of Hachiko", the dog spent ten years waiting for someone who has passed away.
"The Story of the Faithful Dog Hachiko" is adapted from a true story about dogs in Japan. It was made into a Japanese movie in 1987, and later it was put on Hollywood screen by director Lesse Holstrom. The score of this movie on Douban is as high as 9.4, and all friends who have watched this movie are moved to tears. In fact, the story is not very sensational, but it can bring a touch from the soul.
Pure love is a luxury for mankind, but we see hope in our good friend dog. The hero of the
story is an Akita dog. The Akita dog has a long history in Japan. In ancient times, it was a very noble breed, and it was a reward given by the princes to the samurai. Owning an Akita dog and how to dress it up is a symbol of status and power. It can be said that the Akita is the representative of the samurai spirit. The Akita was later designated as a national dog by the Japanese. The movie's choice of Akita has its own meaning. Loyalty is the core of the samurai spirit.
Akita is named Hachiko, named after the tag on its neck. A dog tag with a horoscope is hung on its neck. Eight represents luck in Japanese, which means to go to heaven and go to hell.
Whether it is Akita Inu or Hachiko's name, both are highlighting the theme of the story. The meeting between Hachiko and his master has foreshadowed what will happen later. Because the story takes place in the United States, in order to be able to reflect these strong Japanese concepts in the movie. In the novel, a Japanese martial arts teacher is arranged as a friend of the eight princesses. And the source of Hachiko is designated as Japan.
Hachiko was born in a temple in Japan. Later, it was delivered to the United States by road, rail, and air. However, after getting off the train at the end, the paper with the owner's address and name was accidentally damaged on the way to the distribution, and the cage in which it was installed fell to the ground because of the bumps. Hachiko just ran out and wandered on the station. The result was discovered by Professor Parker who just came home from get off work. One person and one dog looked at each other the moment they saw each other, as if they were destined to be partners. Professor
Parker is a university teacher who teaches music. He is amiable and caring. Seeing Hachiko's small size, cute appearance and helpless eyes, he moved his compassion and hugged it up, wanting to help it find its owner. He came to the conductor's office and wanted to put it there, waiting for its owner to claim it. However, the conductor resolutely refused to agree, the station is not suitable for keeping dogs. No way, the conductor kept Parker's phone number and told him to take the dog back first. If someone came to claim it, he could call him.
That night, Parker took Hachiko back home. Knowing that his wife didn't like keeping dogs, he secretly put Parker in the living room. But when the two were lying in the bedroom and whispering, Hachiko suddenly appeared in the bedroom and touched the mistress's feet, which shocked her. In this way, conflicts arose in the originally harmonious family. The couple had a quarrel over the issue of keeping a dog. Of course, it is mainly his wife who is expressing his opinions, and Parker still prefers to be patient. Parker promised his wife that he would send it away when he found the owner of the Hachiko. When the two were arguing, Parker broke the model of the city that the hostess had spent several months building, and the situation was even worse. Family conflicts are often gradually enlarged because of small things.
The next day, Professor Parker used his spare time to post missing persons notices everywhere to find the original owner of Hachiko. He also went to the temporary management office of the dog, but the other party said that he could only raise the dog for two weeks. In addition, he visited some friends and asked them if they wanted to adopt the dog, but there was no result. One of the friends he visited was the Japanese martial arts teacher mentioned above. The two sides often learn martial arts together. It was also because of him that Parker knew the name of Hachiko, and knew its meaning and source. Parker loves Hachiko more and more.
Parker's wife also used the phone to help find the owner while Parker was searching everywhere. Afterwards, Parker seemed to be sad, but he returned home with joy in his heart. In fact, he was very grateful that he didn't help Hachiko to find the master. He still hoped to adopt Hachiko. For several days, he did not find the master of the eight masters. In this way, Hachiko stayed at Parker's house temporarily. During the day when Parker is at home, he trains Parker in the same way as other dogs and asks Parker to pick the ball. But Parker never learned. Later, he learned that Akita was disdainful of doing such a thing.
But even so, he had a great time with Hachiko. At this time someone called and Parker’s wife learned that someone wanted to adopt Parker. She originally wanted to agree, but seeing Parker and Hachiko having a good time, she replied that Hachiko already had it the host. This means that Parker's wife agreed to Parker's adoption of Hachiko. She still loves her husband very much. Later, Parker's daughter occasionally returned home. She also likes Hachiko very much. The father and daughter get along well with Hachiko. The tolerance of the wife, the reunion of the family of three, and the harmony of the family are also one of the moving parts of this drama.
Since then, Hachiko has become a member of this family. As the Hachiko grows older, its attachment to Parker grows deeper. Once Parker went to work, he had to go with him. Parker did not allow it and shut it in the yard. But Hachiko didn't give up. It dug a hole from the bottom of the courtyard wall and got out by itself. Then following the smell of Parker, he came to the station, and ran into the station secretly, onto the platform. When Parker was about to take the train to go to work, he saw Hachiko watching him on the platform and quickly got off the train, trying to persuade Hachiko to go home.
But Hachiko was very affectionate to him, and persuading him to no avail. In desperation, Parker sent it back home. I had to take a taxi to go to work. When Parker was about to get off work, Hachiko consciously came to the gate of the station again, sitting on the flowerbed opposite the station, waiting for Parker to appear without blinking. After Parker got out of the station, he didn't see Hachiko for the first time, but Hachiko saw him. It threw on Parker with joy, and squabbled with him. Parker was very happy. He also asked the hot dog friend if his wife came with Hachiko. The hot dog friend said he didn't see it. Parker was even more surprised.
Since then, every time Parker goes to work, he goes out with Hachiko. One person and one dog are arguing with each other, while greeting familiar friends. Parker pitted in, and Hachiko said goodbye on the flowerbed at the door. When Parker gets off work in the afternoon, Hachiko will wait in advance on the flowerbed opposite the station, and then give Parker a bear hug. It's the same day after day.
Once, Parker did not see Hachiko after get off work. He was panicked and hurried to the house to look for Hachiko. Finally he found it under a corner of the yard. At that time, there was a skunk outside looking for food in the yard. Ba Gongyi was barking at it. He was protecting the yard. Parker hurried over and took Hachiko in his arms, and used the mop to drive the skunk away. For this, the skunk also spit out a stench.
One morning, Hachiko suddenly followed Parker to the station with a ball in his hand. He showed Parker his skills in holding the ball. Parker was very pleasantly surprised because he always wanted to teach Hachiko to do this. He even brought the ball to the class excitedly. He was giving a lecture while playing with the ball. But when he was halfway through, Parker suddenly suffered a stroke and fell to the ground. When he was taken to the hospital, Parker had passed away. Parker's family buried Parker. Parker’s woman had also been married before, and Parker’s wife left her original place of residence because of sadness. Parker's daughter took Hachiko to live in her own home. When Hachiko showed Parker his ball-handling skills, he estimated that he might not see Parker in the future. The sixth sense of animals is more acute than that of humans.
Although Hachiko was settled in Parker's daughter's house, Hachiko was obviously not used to it. It always wanted to see its old master. Once it ran out while the door was not closed. It followed the railway tracks to the place where Parker had lived. Stopping all the way, the weather was snowing, Hachiko’s background was lonely, lonely and distressing. It came to the place where Parker lived, where it was already a mere fact, and it had been changed to a new residence. Then it ran to the train station that Parker frequented. It is as usual, squatting on the flowerbed in front of the station, with straight eyesHe looked at the station door, hoping that Parker would appear in the next second. In this way, it waited until the next day. Parker's daughter and son-in-law finally found it and took it back.
However, Hachiko obviously did not give up, so he ran to the station every day. Parker's daughter was also very helpless in the end and had to let Hachiko go. At first, it would go home in the middle, and then it would squat on the flowerbed from morning till night, staring at the gate of the station. Parker’s friend, the hawker selling hot dogs at the station, gave him some food every day. The conductor at the station also teased it from time to time, trying to make Ba open his heart.
is like this, spring passes and autumn comes, ten years have passed. Hachiko always squatted there, staring at the door of the train station. Its age is also getting older, its body also looks a bit old, and its eyes are not as bright as before. But it stared at the entrance of the station but never moved away. During this period, the news reported Hachiko’s deeds. Many people were moved by Hachiko’s deeds. They donated some money to Hachiko and asked the conductor to buy some food for him. In fact, without their donations, the ticket sellers and hot dog vendors have never stopped providing food and water to Hachiko. In these ten years, the hawker's hair has all turned white, and he has grown old. The conductor is no longer a strong guy, and has become a middle-aged person. They witnessed the relationship between Hachiko and Parker from start to finish, and witnessed Hachiko's persistence and perseverance. Anything will become eternal as long as it is done year after year. Besides, the protagonist is an Akita dog.
Hachiko may have foreseen that it was the last time he saw Parker.
The reason why it has been waiting, just like its name, it may really be able to go to heaven. It may hope that Parker can come back to see it from there, or take it away. The station is a tacit agreement between them.
In the tenth year, Hachiko really waited for someone he knew well, Parker's wife. Parker's wife sold the house because they couldn't bear the fact that Parker was gone, and went out to relax. This has been ten years. When she opened the gate of the station, she saw Akita Inu Hachiko on the opposite side at first glance. Parker's wife stroked Hachiko's somewhat old body, and cried in her arms. Parker's wife saw Parker's shadow in Hachiko, and Hachiko felt Parker's taste in Parker's wife. Its ten-year wait may also be to complete the mission that Parker could not complete, to give his wife some last comfort, and to accompany her to age slowly as much as possible.
psychologist Freud said: "Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies. Unlike people, the latter cannot love purely. In an objective relationship, love and hate are always intertwined." In fact, people are really strange. animal. People nowadays like to use "what's the use" to evaluate things, such as what's the use of studying liberal arts. Then why not use this model to ask yourself, what is the use of hatred, jealousy, and anger? These negative emotions hurt others and themselves. Although the thinking of animals is not complicated by humans, they are sometimes wiser than humans. True wisdom is not ingenuity and treacherousness, but in order to make one's life better and more comfortable. The so-called Da Zhi Ruo Yu is the truth.
