This is a campus romance story that depicts youth and growth. It uses the golden ginkgo of County No. 1 Middle School as the narrative background and connects the high school years and long echoes of Lin Wei, Jiang Che, Lu Ze and others. Lin Wei, who is introverted and sensitive, is burdened with the family's expectations for further education, and is used to wrapping herself in silence amidst the quarrels of her parents; Jiang Che, who is naturally free-spirited, grew up in a relaxed but alienated family environment and used playfulness to cover up his inner loneliness; and Lu Ze, who comes from a reorganized family, protects the tenderness in his heart with sensibleness and forbearance.
Under the pressure of the countdown to the college entrance examination, the three of them intersected due to their ignorant emotions. They also experienced misunderstandings and pulls due to the misunderstanding of the class teacher, the intervention of school girl Zhang Yao, and the interference of old friend Chen Yang. Lin Wei oscillates between family expectations and inner throbs, Jiang Che learns to take responsibility through kindness and a sense of boundaries, and Lu Ze learns to let go through silent protection. From the first meeting under the ginkgo tree to the waiting outside the examination room, from the rifts full of misunderstandings to the relief of meeting again after a long separation, they not only answered the difficult questions of mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also solved the confusion of emotion and growth on the examination paper of youth.
The story does not deliberately exaggerate bloody conflicts, but focuses on the real struggles of adolescence - the shaping of family views on relationships, the loss and establishment of a sense of boundaries, the weight of regrets and choices. Many years later, when everyone reunited under the old ginkgo tree, the youthfulness and stubbornness that had once existed had long since settled into relief and tenderness. "The Wind Rises" not only records a young campus love, but also depicts the youth portraits of a generation: those teenagers who grew up under pressure and throb will eventually reconcile with the past and find their own happiness.
Mission: youth, growth, reconciliation
