The Love of a Hundred Dollars: How a Lowly to the Bone Woman Reclaimed Her Life

 

I’ve seen a Japanese movie called “Hundred-Year-Old Love”, and I think one of the amazing things about it is that it’s very depressing and coarse when you’re watching it, but it’s full of power when you think about it afterwards.

 

Well, let’s introduce it.

The woman, Saito Kazuko, in her early thirties, is bored all day, living off her parents, and has no desire to run her own restaurant. When her younger sister, Nizamiko, divorced and took the children back to her mother’s house, Nizamiko was not accustomed to her sister’s lazy and sickly appearance, and they had a big fight, so Kazuko moved out and got a job as a cashier at the 100-yen supermarket she frequented.

By chance, she noticed Kano fighting at a boxing gym and stopped to peek at him every time she passed by, but when Kano spotted her, she hurriedly ran away.

Naturally, Kano did not like Kazuko either, but he took the initiative to ask her out.

At the zoo, Ichiko asked Kano why me, and Kano said, “Because I thought you wouldn’t say no.” This is the way a man feels about a woman.

This is a man’s certainty about a woman, and the greatest insult to a woman.

 

Shortly after they had sex, Kano fell in love with a woman selling tofu, and Ichiko took out all her dull depression and pain on the boxing gym where Kano had stayed.

She began to practice hard and aggressively, and gradually became different, confident and eager to live. When Kano saw Kazuko training hard and sweating like a pig in the gym, I think he also had an inferiority complex, just like Kazuko did when he first saw him.

So when a better Kazuko appeared in front of him, the first thing that came to his mind was to run away.

The first boxing match of The Last Kazuko’s life began, but the match was still a fiasco. Kazuko, who had not trained long and was old, could not win at all, but he persisted until the last second of the match.

I wanted to win, I wanted to win, just once… Ichiko hugged Kano after the game and cried bitterly, repeating the same phrase.

 

In my opinion, when Ichiko got carried away with her training and tried to change the situation to find herself again, she had already won the trust and attention of her family, a different self and a new life, and most importantly, she had won Kano’s admiration and heart!

Such a son is considered to have regained the life that he gave up, who can say that she lost.

It’s not just about winning or losing, it’s about whether or not you find yourself, a humble person in the dust, facing someone you admire even if it’s close to your eyes, it’s as if you’re separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

It is not a lie to say that everything in the world is reciprocal, what you want to get, you have to first come up with reciprocal conditions and exchange, otherwise your happiness is difficult to long.
