Plastic Wrap Hero

Plastic wrap hero

In the process of becoming an adult

There must be restlessness and cowardice

Loneliness and doubt have also appeared

I admire the one who doesn’t understand anything

A little boy who only cares about filming

I started filming at the age of 5. staying in different hotels. in different groups, and devoted to different roles. This is the way I spent the first 20 years of my life. am used to living without knowing which city I am in when wake up sometimes. It seems erratic, but it gave me the strongest sense of security.

Deep down in my heart, there is also a sense of security from plastic wrap. This feeling is like every time I drink bitter medicine, my family will peel me a sweet candy. This way I will hint to myself “It’s okay. don’t be afraid!” When I was a child. I felt that “plastic wrap” shouldn’t be placed on my food or in the refrigerator layer by layer. That’s what it really belongs to. It accompanies the little me through the rainy nights and the water play in winter. although sometimes it does not have much effect.

I rejected it hated it. As long as it appears, it means that today is indispensable to endure the cold and frostbite. Up to now. I still remember the scenes and the scenes. the feelings of nervousness every time I was nervous, and the small arms and legs that shook after the director called the card. However, the plastic wrap actually gave me strength quietly, and later I even felt that we were fighting side by side. If I were a warrior, it would be my armour. Every time I am armed and wrapped in the upper layer of plastic wrap, the drum of war in my heart is reverberating. and the drum is saying “You must be strong and brave.”

Sometimes I admire the little boy who doesn’t know anything but only filming. A little stubborn. a little silly. The world at that time was as simple as the words in the script and the meat in the box lunch. With time. I also understand that there are too many complicated things in the adult world, which require me to adapt and bear. In the process of this change, there must be anxiety and cowardice, loneliness and doubt have also appeared. But I still often say to myself those simple words “Be strong, be brave!” I will continue to wrap up that invisible layer of plastic wrap and wander around in this world. without a character who goes into heaven and earth and martial arts is strong. A heroic demeanour should at least be a little better and make progress every year. Let me name myself “Plastic Wrap Hero” for the time being!

Well the plastic wrap hero will go to sleep first and continue tomorrow.

One day. I woke up in the evening after sleeping. The curtain opened a little The last light leaked in. Divide the room into two pieces of light and dark, Like living in a movie scene It’s exciting.
