After saying goodbye to several cheerful uncles, Hugo took steps along the street. Not far away is an elementary school. The spacious basketball court and high erected flagpoles make it very prominent in the surrounding patterned buildings. This is also the first unique building Hugo has seen so far.

Standing at the school gate, you can see the children in class in the classroom. A little boy near the window was wandering. When he came into contact with the gaze that Hugo was cast, he couldn't help but smile, but he waved his hand boldly, which made Hugo laugh. He also raised his right hand and waved it. But before the little boy responded, he found the teacher's figure walking over. The little boy immediately lowered his head obediently and looked focused. This playful episode reminded Hugo of the childhood reading era and couldn't help but smile.

At this time, a young woman holding a stroller came towards the street. She wore a sun hat and looked leisurely, and showed a friendly smile at Hugo, "Good afternoon." Hugo also smiled friendly, nodded, and then the two passed by.

You can feel that the whole town is filled with a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, as if time has slowed down here, the prosperity and noise of the world are completely isolated from the calm Atlantic Ocean, forming a...a real paradise.

As his footsteps slowly made footprints on the road, Hugo began to think about how it felt like to live in such a small town?

Born on this small island since childhood, there is no prosperity of the city, nor is it poor or backward. Life is never short of food and clothing, but I have never felt the luxury and glory of the upper class, and the same is true for my friends around me. There is no obvious gap between the rich and the poor, which makes them not much comparable to each other, and the similar family environment and living environment make everyone full of common topics.

Of course, parents are under pressure from mortgage loans, but this is not the bustling New York, nor the Boracay Island, a resort, nor the Hamptons where wealthy people gather. So even if there is pressure, life will not lose its rhythm. The trivial quarrels and conflicts between father and mother are still annoying, but they are not irreconcilable contradictions, as if everything can be found, and life is moving forward in those small bumps and bumps.

Because the town is too small, there are neighbors within a few streets. Even if every face in the town is so familiar, the faces around you always have some smiles indifferently. During your growth, everything is something you can control, without any strangeness, no stimulation, and no challenges. It seems that an illusion is that the whole world is in your palm, and you can control the whole world with just a gentle grasp.

From family affection to friendship, to human feelings in life, everything is so stable. The passionate stories on TV and movies look bloody and chaotic. They either have no vitality like lead characters in novels, or they are interesting talks in another parallel space, just become adjustments and topics in life, but will never happen in your own life.

Since the whole town is so familiar, maybe they will meet someone they like in the tenth grade, childhood sweethearts or fall in love at first sight, and then invite the other party to attend the 12th grade graduation prom. The story of the golden boy and jade girl has become a template that everyone envies in the school. After graduation, they may find a job, maybe they are just a blue-collar class, and may become white-collar workers such as accountants or editors, but they are enough to support themselves and make their partner stay by their side comfortably.

One day, a new life will come to your own life and open the chapter of your new life. Add new troubles and also add new happiness. Everything is brand new, calm, step by step, but happy.

Life like this... is really perfect.

Someone once joked that the farthest distance in the world is the entrance to the highway in the town, and the most delicious food in the world is the breakfast for the day. In fact, this is a derogatory statement, because people who have truly seen how big the world is, know that it is impossible to measure the world with their feet. The whole world is not just the scene in the town, but there are countless different scenery around the world, including disasters, famines, wars, freedoms, parties and carnivals... The world is not just the entrance to the highway in the town, nor is it just the breakfast for one's own every day.

In short, a frog in the well.

But this joke is placed in the small town of Sisside, or in a paradise, and it becomes a praise. Because of the joy of contentment, it is because I don’t know how big the world is that I will not be greedy or greedy. Many times, what destroys life is precisely the endless desires and desires.

The same can be said that all happiness came so easily in childhood: after hard study, after eating the vegetables you hate, after lunch break, after chasing a crazy chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic chaotic

Once upon a time, a piece of clothing, a pair of shoes, a pack of potato chips, a cup of Coke, and a chicken leg could bring countless happiness; but at a certain moment, after having a stable job, I fantasized about a single apartment; after getting a whole house, I thought about a villa; after buying my first van, I began to think about the possibility of a sports car... Desire is an abyss that can never be filled, driving people to keep moving forward, moving forward, and moving forward again, and happiness and happiness become increasingly difficult and difficult.

This is how living in Seide is. It not only ensures basic food and clothing, but also has no problems with basic living security. What's more, there is a happy family. It seems that everything has been satisfied. It's better than the top and the bottom, or to be more precise, this is life above the average level.

This seems to be a dream life.

Except for one percent of the rich people in the world, most people are actually pursuing this kind of life for such a life, stability, calmness and calmness. As long as they think that they can have such a life, they feel that their pace is brisk.

But why is Truman still not satisfied?

What is certain is that it is not because of the house, not because of clothes, not because of luxury cars... To be more precise, not because of material things. Because from childhood to adulthood, these things have never appeared in the Truman world. He knows how to enjoy life, but will not lose his own rhythm in pursuit of material things.

So is it because of love or family affection?

Truman's father died while sailing when he was a child, which made him fear the sea and not even feel close to water. However, growing up in a single-parent family did not bring any shortcomings to Truman. His mother's care was enough to make up for the pain of losing his father, and his father's tall and brave image became his inner hero.

It is also not love, because he has a wife who loves himself. Meryl is the perfect lover in everyone's dreams. She is gentle, considerate, kind and polite. An incredible spark burst out between her and Truman, which made Truman fall in love at first sight and truly feel the happiness and beauty of falling in love. After marriage, life is even more tranquil and romance, making people unable to ask for more.

Truman is not dissatisfied. On the contrary, he is very satisfied with his life. He feels that he is the luckiest man in the world. Even if he just lives in the town of Seside, he feels that he has the whole world. He has always been a contented man, so he has no complaints about life and faces every sunrise with a smile. His positive and optimistic spirit has infected everyone around him, as if he is a positive energy factor, quietly changing everyone around him.

But... when it was late at night, Truman always felt that there was a negative emotion that bothering him, and even he himself couldn't tell what the reason was.

So, Truman wanted to go out for a walk and he wanted to go to Fiji because his first love Sylvia left Sisside. Sylvia's father told Truman that they were going to Fiji. From then on, Fiji had an inexplicable attraction to Truman. He did not tell anyone that it was for this reason, but just kept it secretly in his heart, because Truman knew that he could not go, because Fiji was an island, an island surrounded by the sea, and he had phobia about the sea, so this was destined to be just an idea.

But Truman didn't expect that Meryl was unwilling or even opposed, which made Truman feel a little strange. At first, Truman just wanted to go out, but later more and more strange things happened in life. Everything he was familiar with was breaking the pattern. He noticed that everyone around him seemed to be watching him. He noticed that every day everyone around him seemed to be centered around him. He noticed that there seemed to be someone watching him in a dark corner...

Gradually, Truman wanted to leave this living environment, see a completely different new world, and see the world outside Seyside. As a result, Fiji became a dream in Truman's heart, a dream that he was out of reach but always wanted to pursue.

Then, an accident appeared, and his father, who had already "dead", appeared again, which broke all the balance in Truman's life. This made Truman truly realize for the first time that his inner dreams did not appear because of his dissatisfaction, but because of the rules and frameworks that bound him. He longed to be able to get out of the shackles, and he was even more eager to embrace freedom.

A free, simple but difficult dream, a great dream.
