Introduction to the work
Amid the chirping of cicadas at the end of summer, Chen Wang bumped into Xie Yu, who was folding a paper airplane while squatting in an alley. An unexpected encounter brought the youth of the two teenagers together. From the tacit understanding of being together at the same table, to the heartbeat of holding an umbrella together on rainy days, from the small thoughts of passing notes during evening self-study, to the joy of chasing and playing in the snow, paper airplanes have become their secret messengers hidden in time. The cheers at the sports games, the chance encounters in the library, the promises made at the beach, the young feelings quietly grow in the day-to-day interactions. The college entrance examination is over, the smiling faces in the graduation photos are frozen, the paper planes filled with wishes fly into the distance, and the story of the two teenagers has just begun. This is a tender love about youth, companionship and two-way running. The trajectory of the paper plane flying is the purest mark of their youth.
Purpose: Using paper airplanes as clues, it outlines the youthful and pure love between teenagers, shows the companionship and growth in youth, and pays homage to that beautiful time full of longing and running in both directions.
