Life is a journey. The mist-filled future is full of unknowns. No one knows whether the road ahead is uphill or downhill, and no one knows whether the road ahead is flat or rugged. Unpredictable uncertainty makes life full of variables and surprises.
He once thought that the future was in his own hands. As long as he made a plan that was strong enough, detailed enough, and sufficient enough, he could control every step of his life within the expected range, future, success, career, family... If you have a life, you will firmly control it in your own hands, and there will be no deviation.
But obviously, he was wrong. Just as he did not expect that he would be in a hospital bed for the rest of his life because of a car accident, he also did not expect the end of his life to become the beginning of a new life.
In the last life, his name was Chu Jiashu, a Chinese/Chinese. He was always a well-behaved child, obeying his mother's arrangement, planning his future step by step, and following every day's plan, "You must You will grow into an excellent adult, and you will definitely have a bright future." His mother told him that since he was sensible.
His mother made a timetable for him, and marked everything on the blackboard on the wall, planning his life from the age of three to the age of 30, from school to friends, from three meals a day to extracurricular activities, everything. Everything is placed on the schedule, and it is clear at a glance, as if standing in front of the blackboard, you can glimpse the end of life.
To this day, he can still clearly recall the New Year at the age of eight. He wanted to buy some fireworks and firecrackers with the New Year's money and join the carnival of the neighbors, but his mother tried to discourage him, pointing to the dense schedule. , "We're going to take our destiny in our hands, all things are here, in order from top to small, left to right. From minute to hour, to every day, every week, every month, every year , in your whole life, everything is in this table. I even made a table for your birthday gift every year. For example, your eighth birthday this year is an abacus, which can be used in the next math class. , I've already packed it."
He looked at his earnest mother ignorantly, showing confusion and timidity. The frolic and firecrackers were looming outside the window, and he just wanted to light a firework. But my mother didn't pay attention to him at all. She just stood in front of the plan and scolded Fang Qiu and said with great ambition, "There are still 183 days left until the first grade starts. It sounds like a long time, but when converted into hours, There are only four thousand three hundred and ninety-two hours, and only 263,520 minutes in minutes, and you will find that you can accomplish so many things.”
He didn't understand what the series of huge numbers meant, but he knew that the determined light on his mother's face gave him no room to refuse. "You have to arrange your every minute according to this table, and make sure to use every minute efficiently! To be honest, after entering the society, you can only rely on yourself. To be successful, we must firmly follow this plan. surface."
His mother looked at him with a smile on his face and full of confidence. He nodded blankly, and the words that poured into his mouth were still unable to come out. "Very well, you now have fifteen minutes to get some fresh air, relax, and then it's time for English." These were the closing remarks of my mother's speech, which remained vivid even after many years, like a spell, firmly imprinted on the in mind.
Unfortunately, this grand plan was only implemented until he was twenty-two years old. He is about to leave the university, he is actively preparing for his internship, and then seeks better development in the future. It seems that everything is developing step by step, and a bright future is waiting not far away, but a sudden car accident, but Let the plan come to an abrupt end.
High paralysis.
He didn't feel anything below his chest, he could only lie on the hospital bed like a cripple, in a state of panic. His mother ran around for him, and even scattered her family wealth, but she still couldn't turn back time. He was decadent, crazy, gave up, despaired, angry, regretful... But in the end, he still survived - like a walking dead.
Fortunately, he encountered the movie, the unique but meaningful "Truman's World", which opened the door to a whole new world for him, and this form of expression called "Seventh Art" lit up. In his boring life, he was so greedy that he was almost hungrily immersed in the world of movies, wandering and soaring. Curious about the ups and downs of life, curious about the colorful world, curious about the colorful society, curious about the unrestrained freedom... that is the real life.
Freedom, dreams, life. Just thinking about words like that makes his chest dull to the point of pain, because he'll never be able to touch them, he's missed, he'll miss them forever.
He wants to travel to every corner of the world, savor the coldness of the snow-capped mountains and the turbulent ocean; he wants to challenge every limit of life, try the madness of skydiving and the thrill of extreme rock climbing; he wants to experience every kind of life Emotions, the joy of achieving goals and the pain of encountering setbacks... Because for the first time he truly realized that life cannot be planned, success and failure, happiness and sadness, happiness and suffering, these are two sides of life, lacking contradictions The opposite then loses its meaning.
Wanton, uninhibited, carnival, crazy, casual, free. Grasp every moment of life, truly give life its own splendor, and don't live up to this rare but only one-time life.
He couldn't help but wonder if he could climb all the world's peaks if he became a mountaineer; if he became a journalist, could he use a pen to talk to the world; if... if he became a Actor, whether he can interpret all kinds of life, whether he can give the character soul like those actors, whether he can touch other people like the movie inspires him, whether he can use his acting skills to bring new vitality to art
Ten years, ten years, he was paralyzed in the hospital bed for ten years, he communicated with movies for ten years, but unfortunately, he never had the chance to try those "what ifs". How he longed to do it all over again, to break all the shackles and restraints, and do it willfully, but it was too late.
On his thirty-second birthday, his regular and mediocre, simple and short life came to an end because of heart and lung failure, and he fled into nothingness.
After closing his eyes, the world is dark, but at the end of the darkness there is a faint light, as if guiding him forward, is it heaven or hell? The pace under his feet opened up, then gradually accelerated, getting faster and faster, and finally turned into running, and even sprinting. He opened his arms and slammed into the milky white light.
At the end, not heaven, nor hell, but new life.
He was reborn.

After just one year, Renly temporarily suspended his studies and entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to study, and Start honing yourself in the West End.
This time, Renly wants to realize his dream, to try more possibilities, to explore the unknown of the world, and to truly embrace freedom.
