秋田犬八千 (Hachiko : A Dog’s Story)- 忠於你所愛的人

我們會不會每天在心愛的人的辦公室樓下等他/她放工一起回家呢?

今天剛看完一套很感動的人狗情電影- 秋田犬八千。它是改編自日本電影《八千犬物語》，是一個真人真事關於一隻忠心耿耿的秋田犬「八千」的感人故事。內容是敍述一隻失蹤在火車站的秋田犬「八千」，他巧遇主角: 李察基爾，他感覺和「八千」很有緣份所以把他收養回家。「八千」和主人感情十分好，「八千」會每天陪主人去火車站上班，而當主人五時正放工離開火車站時，「八千」一定在火車站門外等待主人而從不間斷。有一天，主人不幸在工作期間去世。「八千」當晚在火車站門外等至晚上9:30，主人的女兒不忍心「八千」失去了主人，她便帶了「八千」離開舊居搬回自己的家。不料，「八千」到了主人放工的時間，他離家出走，跟從火車路軌沿線到火車站門外等待主人放工。自此，「八千」在10年來從不間斷等待主人。他的忠心感動身邊所有人。有報章找他做專輯，更有一些有心人捐贈食物給「八千」。最後一幕是我最深刻的。「八千」因年老死在雪下的火車站門外。當時「八千」卒之一償所願眼前出現主人來迎接他的情景。(情節如”賣火柴的女孩”) 最後故事總結的一句說話: 「八千」- 忠於他所愛的人…….

這句說話使我有深深感動，現在還有多少人能夠一生忠於自己的所愛? 為何文明的我們反而不能夠為自己所愛而付出，反而一頭小狗，他們會盡用一生的時間去忠於自己所愛護的人！ 我們是不是需要反思呢?..............

P.S. 太感動的一套電影，害我哭了一包紙巾！

Hachiko Based on a True Story

The movie Hachiko A Dog' Story is based on a true story that took in first half of the 20th century in Japan. We may learn more thanks to Wikipedia:

In 1924, Hachiko was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachiko saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno didn't return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.
Hachiko was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. After time, Hachiko apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachiko waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he didn't see his friend among the commuters at the station.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachiko and Professor Ueno together each day. Realizing that Hachiko waited in vigil for his dead master, their hearts were touched. They brought Hachiko treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for 10 years, with Hachiko appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.
The people of Japan was so touched by this heartfelt example of a dog's devotion for his owner that a statue a bronze statue in Hachiko's likeness was erected at Shibuya Station.
