Standing at a crossing under the sun,Takaki Tōno stared at the high-speed train before him.It seemed that he had seen a shadowy figure of Akari Shinohara through the train window that flashes, who stood right in front with a pink umbrella.The cherry blossoms were flying indistinctly and slowly, just like the dessert after drinking tea, which tastes sweet in the bitter. 　　That year, Takak was ten. 　　Her lips are warm and soft which nearly melt his heart. Original surprise and subsequent hesitation are succeeded by a feeling of comforting peace. Just like fingers ran gently over the petals, warmth full of my heart. Neither The sound of snow falling from trees nor the whisper of the wind pass by makes the boy open his eyes. It’s the very place where his heart, spirit and all other deepest sentiment live. He believes that even if the long awful time and space, nothing could separate him from this place. 　　That year, Takak was thirteen. 　　The fury of the roar, the towering clouds of water vapor column, even the thunder fires used by gods to tear the canopy could be inferior. Takak keeps looking up at the sky, fascinated, paying no attention to the soreness of his neck and the girl by him who nearly dropped a tear. Oh ,that is a distant journey which has to be told in light years, a lonely journey that will never meet a hydrogen atom. Long enough just like thousands if nights when I’m alone, the Deer Island is as bright as the sky of city with colorful lights while glow-worm light r of phone screen in contrast. Messages without a receiver have not been seen or been heard of, like the sick letter which missed in the cold wind at the year of 13 and words that haven’t been told to the girl who is about to go in a leaving train. 　　That year, Takak was 17. 　　Standing at a crossing under the sun, Takaki Tōno stared at the high-speed train before him.It seemed that he had seen a shadowy figure of Akari Shinohara through the train window that flashes, who stood right in front with a pink umbrella.The cherry blossoms were flying indistinctly and slowly, just like the dessert after drinking tea, which tastes sweet in the bitter. All of this, with how is similar what happened at the year of 13. Not until the airflow lifted up by train disappears, he found nobody in the other side of the crossroad. 　　That year, Takak was 27. 　　That’s the story Xin Haicheng shared with us in A chain stories about distance, which tells the growth of a boy, much like our own memories hidden inside. As Xin said in the interview, we try our best to play the common life and less dramaticism. It also shows the different emotions of the earth ,and the beauty of the world. We record the real scenes with cartridges so as to make it look more realistic. Each of us once was Takak,or Akari more or less. Part of our experience become lively to be Takak and Akari on the screen. 　　The film has a subtitle A chain stories about distanc. Our life inevitably faces distance of time and space and the following distance of emotion. Ruthless time and space will 　　consistently reduce our efforts or possibility on strive to break the distance and when we get used to the distance, we are part of it. After finishing watching the film for the first time, I map the sad feelings into a coincidence,such as Takak ‘s letter taken by the wind,or the untimely train at the end. And combined with the subtitles, we can find that they are all metaphorical carrier for"distance" by Xin. Both the emotion which can only be held by thin writing paper,and meeting that cut off by passing train are paper ships drifting in the long river of time. They can temporarily floating on the surface of the water, toward the distant sea, but eventually will be dispersed in the chaos of the water. 　　We know the fact well, but could do nothing. We want to fight against only find all these efforts are in vain just like Florida’s endless slavery. Thouth we cannot escape from the passage of time, we can remember something. We want to tell people that they arehere, and shouting in the fact that I do here. This is the reason why the film moves us. In front of the problems that cannot be resolved, we have to make such a fantasy to keep living. 　　Maybe living with a speed of five cm per second, I will meet you again.

相思本是无凭语，莫向花笺费泪行。

首先，关于贵树不去找明里的原因。 高中时期两人一直在通信来往，不过到后来两人只等待着邮箱里对方寄来的信，自己却写不出一点东西了。 这是为什么呢？ 两人由于长期的异地，所处的环境和周围的人都不同。除了谈论天气和遇到的奇怪的事情外没有任何共同的话题，这种话题或许可以持续一年，但3年来一直这样是不可能的。 而且两人在心理和生理变化最明显的年纪，不可避免的受到周围同龄人的诱惑。 但两人心里都有一种坚持，对约定好一起去看樱花的坚持。 其实说贵树从头到尾对花苗没一点感觉是不可能的。 贵树也正是因为花苗的随和、好相处、为人简单没坏心眼等原因选择跟花苗在一起的。 贵树早就知道花苗对自己的爱恋，但他不能把这层纱揭开。 因为贵树知道他心里只有明里一个人，花苗和他不可能会有结果。 贵树内心的空虚和寂寞也需要有花苗这样的人来为他解脱。 万一两人这种若即若离的关系公开化，贵树知道自己必须给花苗一个答复。 而且他知道自己只能拒绝花苗，从而两人以后只能行同陌路。 这些都是贵树不愿意看到的。 所以到最后花苗明白贵树的想法后，没有对贵树告白。 因为她已经知道了结果。 所以她选择继续保持两人以这种似友又似情侣的关系在一起， 这样她能在最后的日子里一直陪伴在贵树的身边。 就如同花苗填志愿时所领悟到的一样：她没有必要想太多的事，只要做好现在的每一件事就好。 意思是，她此时能和贵树在一起就好，以后的事情现在考虑了也没用。 抓住眼前的幸福感觉其实才最重要。

再说贵树和明里。 同贵树有一个花苗一样，明里的优秀是男人都能看出来，所以她也难免有追求者。 但贵树和明里心里的犹豫和挣扎是不能在信里说的，信里只能说些无关紧要的事情。 一方面是怕对方担心，另一方面也因为自己心里的松动难免会有种背叛的负罪感。 要说贵树对花苗从没动过情是不可能的。 贵树也以他特有的温柔回报着花苗对自己的感情。 但贵树也仅能做到这样，不能再跨出任何一步。 就如他们两人在别人眼里就是恋人的关系，但贵树却又极力否认一样。 所以因为种种原因，包括距离上的、心理上的，造成两人最后连信也中断了。 两人都期盼着对方的回应， 两人都因为心里的痛苦而无法给对方写信，却又期待着对方能给自己带来信心和力量。 如果两人在一起，一些话题和烦恼很容易倾诉， 但一旦有了距离，一些话题是不能够被提起的，这只会来带对方的痛苦和彼此的猜疑。 而两人却始终不去找对方。 因为两人知道，虽然相见能带来一时的快乐，但伴随这短暂的快乐过后， 却又是更加深刻的遗憾和痛苦。 正所谓相见不如怀念。 而又因为期望越大失望也就越大。 他们都害怕改变，他们对彼此的感觉依然是13岁那年，他们彼此共同的记忆也只延续到13岁。 这么多年来，他们之间除了思念外，只拥有这儿时凌乱模糊的记忆。 他们害怕见面时，两人已经变得陌生。不管是样貌还是别的什么…… 这就是他们一直没有去找对方，最后连通信也停掉的原因。

下面再来说下明里的婚姻。 很多人讨厌明里是因为她在自己丈夫怀里幸福的微笑。 可大家仔细想想明里又哪里做错了呢？ 你难道叫一个如此优秀的女孩只因为一个13岁时的承诺而终生不嫁吗？ 再说25岁对一个日本女孩子来说已经很大了，明里能将对贵树的这份感情坚持到12年后已经是很难得了。 那些讨厌明里的朋友请设身处地的想下，如果你是明里你会如何？ 我们大家作为看客自然看不到那些被掩盖的时间里所发生的事。 这么长的时间里她内心的痛苦和煎熬又是谁能够体会的呢？ 记得13岁那年贵树去见她，明里在车站等了一夜的事情吗？ 贵树在车上说：不希望她等下去，她要是回家就好了。 不要小看这句话，这甚至可能是这动画的精髓所在。 回想当动画最后，列车过去后贵树对着空荡的街对面释怀的一笑。 他笑得如此的放松，就如同被解脱一样。 你会想到什么？ “不希望她等下去，她要是回家就好了。” 这解脱般的微笑再结合这句话，你应该已经明白了吧。 贵树对明里的感情，如果说是爱恋的话，不如将它看成是一种责任。 从小学时照顾明里到13岁时去看她。贵树都将明里当做是自己的责任。 他害怕这么多年来，明里就如同从来在车站里一样一直等着他。 当他看到擦肩而过的明里手中的戒指时，他终于笑了。 他知道自己再守着这样的承诺已经没必要了。 除了有些感伤外，他更因为得到了解脱而放松的微笑。 故事的最后，贵树说他又找到了人生的方向和动力。 因为他知道明里已经过上幸福日子后，他也要开始寻找自己的幸福了。 所以明里在自己丈夫怀里幸福的微笑，更是对贵树的一种激励。 两人的故事，其实是以一种非喜非悲的结局收场的。 这种结局更体现了这部动画的写实手法。 因为这个世界就是这样：无所谓悲或喜。 生活始终在继续，你不能把眼前的任何一幕当作自己人生的结局……
