一公升的眼淚

一公升的眼淚是一個在日本感動了成千上萬人的真實故事。
故事的主人公——亞也是一個開朗活潑的花季少女。然而,在她15歲時一場突如其來的災難降臨,亞也患上了一種病因不明的骨髓小腦變異症。了鼓勵自己以及家人和朋友,亞也從知道自己患病的那一天起便開始寫日記,記錄了自己的抗病過程。
適逢這部暢銷書發行19年之際,之前這€感人的故事已經播放了連續劇版本,而此次搬上螢幕的是電影版的《一公升的眼淚》。自信、勇氣、親情、這一切在人們看來或許實在平常。然而,生活中最美好的部分往往就存在於這些平凡的細節當中。

|戲說從頭|

《一公升的眼淚》以七零年代末期的文化重鎮名古屋為故事背景,一位十五歲的國三少女木藤亞也,正要展開人生中最燦爛的高中生涯。嘲諷的是,一場她從未預料過的變化改變了她的一生,使她的生命在短短的十年間加速凋零一切,始自於一個罕見的絕症──脊髓小腦萎縮症。
肢體癱瘓、吞嚥困難、無法言語,都是亞也未來面臨的病症。她想寫字、想快樂的奔跑、想要談一場甜蜜的戀愛、想要回報父母的恩情,縱使知道未來的美好?#123;圖逐漸模糊,亞也仍毅然升入高中繼續學業。直到病情益發嚴重,坐上輪椅的亞也為了不增添家人及朋友的麻煩,最後終於同意轉至岡崎養護學校。
「我就要離開東高了。從此以後,身負殘疾人這件沉重的行李,一個人繼續活下去。這雖然是我做出的決定,但在經歷這個過程之前,我至少要先流過一公升的眼淚。自此之後可能還需要更多更多」亞也如此說。
歌唱、寫字、牽手、奔跑、甚至用嘴咀嚼食物、在一般人眼中是多麼平凡的行為,但在亞也身上全成為遙不可及的幸福。要忘記健康的自己,要忘記吞嚥食物的滋味,不久,亞也癱瘓在床,喪失她一直努力想維持的行走能力。支持她生存的意義,除了家庭,就是不肯對病魔妥協的強大意志力,以及她對未來生活的微小憧憬。
年來,亞也努力用筆紀錄生活中對生命的思維與堅持,她並不怨恨父母給予她的身體、她並不怨恨上天為什麼殘忍剝奪她生存的權利,她只是一直為自己的身體而奮鬥,拖著日漸衰弱的身軀,慢慢朝前方那一道狹窄卻存在的生存之門前進,一直到21歲她喪失意識……
一九八八年五月二十三日,她帶著對未來生命的期盼離開25年來曾經屬於她的世界,留下令人酸楚的一本本心情記事和鼓勵給更多不肯向病魔屈服的人們。「哪怕是多麼微不足道的弱小力量,我還是希望能夠幫助別人。」亞也的文字裡沒有華麗誇張的詞藻,卻能讓讀者心底強烈感受到無形卻是最基本的渴望──「我想活下去」。能夠活著原來就是一件最快樂的事。


30D on 17 Mar 07

Finally get my very first DSLR camera... The set was purchased at John 3:16... supposely planned to get everything at one shot but after some hold back due to Jian Hao's friends... In the end, I just get a 50mm f1.4, one extra battery and a 50L dri cabi along with my 30D... Total cost is around $2255...

One of his friend, Limn, said his father currently at Hong Kong and might be helping me to get lens over there... which is much cheaper than getting it locally... Hopefully things going to work well and able to have international warranty on the lens... also hope to get 2 good L lens...

Quotes from Kamen Rider Kabuto

Grandmother said this.....

1. Walking the path of heaven, the man who will rule everything.

2. Make the world revolve around you. It's more fun to think that way.

3. When people love others, they become weaker, but it is nothing to be ashamed of. True weakness lies elsewhere.

4. When not close by, one is even closer.

5. Chase two birds, and you catch two birds.

6. People who steal things, lose something even more important.

7. It is enjoyable to eat something delicious, but the greatest joy is the time spent waiting for it.

8. If you wish it to be so, luck will always be on your side.

9. Flowers can make any girl glow.

10. A knife can only bring happiness when used in cooking.

11. Fancy flavors cannot hide poor cooking.

12. The whisper of the devil can sometimes sound like an angel's voice.

13. One that drowns in oneself will eventually fall to darkness.

14. Even if the world were full of enemies, there is someone you must protect.

15. If you receive a little kindness, give them a large serving.

16. Imitating others is not bad, for it is to recognize ourselves.
