She is melancholy and cold, like a silent wind on the plain.
She is lively and hot, like the sunshine in September, falling down furryly, not hot, but warm.
On the day of the 25-minute chemistry test, Lin Yanzhi exchanged the pocket money he had saved for half a year into a studio registration form.
From then on, there was one more person in her life——
Wen Sheng would hand her White Rabbit toffee while she was painting, would wait hungry for her to bring bread in the evening when she was washing her hair, and would shout when the corners of her mouth just turned up: "Look! You're smiling!"
There is also a child who has been walking on her side for more than ten years. He knows all her secrets and takes away all the panic for her.
In this breathtakingly depressing county high school, they used pencils, novels, and PHS devices hidden under their pillows to secretly and vigorously live the life they wanted.
One is melancholy and cold, and the other is a lively little sun.
In that dark day, they were each other's light.
Concept: Every adolescent girl has asked herself late one night: Am I not good enough? Am I on the wrong track? Shouldn't I have those "unrealistic" dreams? Lin Yanzhi's story is written for these girls. She only scored 25 points in the chemistry test, and her parents determined that it was "impossible to take the ordinary college entrance examination." She was the last to learn art, starting a whole school year later than others. In a county high school with a lack of educational resources and an oppressive management system, she secretly paid her tuition with the pocket money she had saved for half a year, hid her painting bag behind the curtains, and groped through the vague tutorials alone. But she didn't give up. She is not the kind of person who is naturally brave. She would be scared, hesitant, and her fingers would tremble when the inspection team's flashlight shined on her. But she took a step forward—and another. Because she knew that if she didn't take this step, she would regret it for the rest of her life. This work wants to tell every girl who is experiencing confusion, depression, and not being understood: Don't give up hope. Don't give up on your dreams. Even if everyone says "you can't do it," even if you start later than others, even if you don't have good teachers, good resources, or good conditions around you - as long as the fire in your heart is not extinguished, you still have a way to go. You may be lonely, you may feel like a piece of clear glass and no one can see you. But please believe that there will always be someone with a candy, a "hello" and a furry smile who will come to you, sit down, and tell you - it's not that you can't laugh, you just lack someone to make you laugh. I wish every Lin Yanzhi will meet his own Wen Sheng. I also wish you learn not to give up on yourself before meeting her.
