In August, the cicadas kept chirping. Lin Huai, a rural boy, walked into the county No. 1 Middle School with an earthy smell all over his body and the dull pain of his original family. He has low self-esteem, is sensitive, and hides violence. He is out of place in the glamorous campus until he meets the gentle and transparent girl Su Wan and his best friend Chen Yang.
Su Wan was a ray of light in his dark youth. She didn't despise his origin or care about his temper. She accompanied him to have a heart-to-heart talk under the locust tree and taught him to reconcile with the past. From the early summer when she was separated from her senior year of high school, her youthful love quietly grew in the fragrance of locust flowers. Lin Huai restrained her edge for her and worked hard to break free from the shackles of inferiority. However, the class gap, youthful impulses and obstacles of reality made this pure relationship full of struggles.
The watershed of the college entrance examination, the torment of long-distance love, the love that begins in midsummer and ends in midsummer. Many years later, Lin Huai lost all his anger and became a stable and gentle physical education teacher, guarding the locust tree in his hometown and burying that period of youth deep in his heart; Su Wan ran away to a distant place, and the two never met again, leaving only the fragrance of locust trees in the courtyard, hiding regrets that will last for the rest of their lives.
This is a story about the loss of youth, and it is also a story about the self-salvation of a young man at the bottom. The summer wind blows through the locust trees, and the hot youth comes to an end. Love and pain are all marks of time. It turns out that growing up means making peace with regrets and letting go of the past.
Purpose: Based on the growth of Lin Huai, a young boy at the bottom, it opens up the hidden pain of youth and interprets the true meaning of growth for ordinary people to redeem themselves from the shackles of themselves and to gently reconcile with their imperfect selves.
Breaking away from the clichés of perfect narratives and focusing on the true nature of youthful love, Taojin love never possesses or binds, but is the emotional core that illuminates each other and becomes the light for the rest of life.
Using regret as the background of youth, it conveys a transparent philosophy of life: accepting all the shortcomings of the past, cherishing love and warmth, and moving forward calmly with memories is the best way to grow.
