In "The Man from Earth", the male protagonist is immortal and is the legendary Jesus , but he can only watch his old son die in front of his eyes.
In his long life of 14,000 years, countless loved ones have left him. This should be the biggest worry of immortality.
Although no one can live forever in reality, long-lived elderly people always face similar troubles: their loved ones and friends leave early one by one.
The 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II of England is such a poor person.
The last time Elizabeth saw her father was at the London Airport in the early morning of January 31, 1952.
At that time, she was going to East Africa and Australia for a visit with Prince Philip . King King George VI saw them off at the airport.
Then, at 2:45 pm local time on February 6, Elizabeth, who was far away in Kenya, learned of the death of her father.
Of course, this also means that this 26-year-old woman has become Queen of England. From that moment on, she no longer lived just for herself.
She finished the interview with a forced smile, packed everything up, put on a black mourning dress and got on the plane back home.
At the funeral, Elizabeth, who was wearing a veil, looked pale, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Until the funeral was over, Elizabeth finally lost control, sat in the car and cried loudly, venting all the sadness she had suppressed for a week.
In her accession edict, Elizabeth wrote: At this moment, my mood is difficult to describe in words. What I can say here is that I will work like my father.
Then came Elizabeth's grandmother Queen Mary . Just one year after George VI, death came to the old man.
On March 31, 1953, Queen Mary was buried in the family cemetery at St. George's Church in Windsor. In just one year, Elizabeth bid farewell to two relatives here.
In 1997, Diana, the daughter-in-law of Elizabeth II,passed away in a car accident. At her funeral, people showed extreme dissatisfaction with the royal family, thinking that criticizing the queen was cold-blooded, and even suspected that Diana's death was related to the royal family. related.
There is no doubt that Elizabeth II had very complicated feelings for Diana, but when Diana's coffin passed in front of her, she still bowed gently to the coffin.
A bow seems to be filled with thousands of words, flowing through it.
Entering the 21st century, the Queen's sister Princess Margaret took the lead in entering her final years.
She is younger than the Queen in age, but she is older in appearance. Just because she was indulgent and addicted to alcohol, and squandered her time too much when she was young. The price tag marked by fate took back her lifespan early, so that She was bedridden early on and suffered from illness.
Faced with this situation, the most saddened one is Elizabeth. After all, she and her sister grew up together, and her sister also accompanied her through many important years in her life.
On February 9, 2002, Princess Margaret, who was only 72 years old, passed away from heart disease caused by a stroke.
Just over a month after bidding farewell to her sister, Queen Mother Elizabeth , who was once described by Hitler as "the most dangerous woman in Europe", passed away.
Within a month, the Queen came to St. George's Church again to see her mother off.
On April 8, 2013, Mrs. Thatcher , who was both an enemy and a friend of the Queen, died of a stroke. These two women once fought together for the future of Britain. They were both political stars. Mrs. Thatcher had already passed her golden period in politics, but the Queen still stuck to her post and performed her duties.
On April 9, 2021, Prince Philip, who will celebrate his 100th birthday in two months, passed away, leaving the Queen alone in this world.
html On April 17, at her husband’s funeral, the Queen was captured sitting alone in a car wiping tears. Few people in the world can understand the pain and shock of bidding farewell to a lover who has been together for 74 years.
On her husband’s coffin, the queen left a short farewell letter: "In loving memory, Lilibet."
Lilibet is the queen's nickname. In the decades since she became the queen, she has only In front of her husband, the queen can take off her public disguise and be a little girl who needs pampering and care.
As the saying goes, "couples come together when they are young and stay together when they are old", the most beautiful thing in the world is undoubtedly that at a gray-haired age, the person you fell in love with when you were young is still standing next to you, hand in hand for the rest of your life, and grow old safely, but fate has given The queen loves a lot, but she doesn't care about those around her so much.
At the end of 2021, the Duchess of Grafton, the chambermaid who had served the Queen for 68 years, passed away; at the beginning of this year, Mrs. Farnham, the chambermaid who had served the Queen for 40 years, passed away...
Life is a long parting. The later you arrive, the more regrets you will face. As time goes by, the 96-year-old Queen is bound to attend more funerals of those around her.
Since the beginning of this year, the queen has become increasingly thinner when she appears. I wonder how much more of this unspeakable pain she will have to endure?
In a sense, living for too long is also a kind of torture.
