Lotus Flowers Rise, One by One

Ensemble cast + youth + youthful spirit + friendship-focused Reunions always come so unexpectedly. In some unguarded moment, you meet someone you thought you would never see again. I thought I’d never meet Su Qingyuan in my life, just as I thought I’d never meet Weiman. The day I met Su Qingyuan, the sky was clear and bright. When we met again, neither of us could hide our excitement, and within a few words, we’d arranged a class reunion for a month later. The day I met Weiman, the sky was overcast. She kept running away while I kept chasing after her, and I could see her helplessness and loneliness. I wanted to save her. Later, at the class reunion, Weiman ran into Su Qingyuan and immediately fled. I couldn’t stop her. Later, Weiman’s account went viral online. When I saw her again, all that remained was a diary. One vivid name after another leapt from its pages, capturing in detail the youth of a whole group, not just one person. After much thought, I entrusted these youthful feelings to the person who most deserved to see them, believing she would give me a different response. But then, memories from the past unfolded one after another, following the diary and Su Qingyuan’s recollections. The young people living on in those memories were like lotus flowers rising on the water in the breeze, brimming with life and impossible to forget.
