Nanzhi filmed a documentary when she was in college.
The protagonist of the film is Chen Ce, a Peking University student who passed the examination in Qianxian County, Guizhou. His parents are dead and his sister is studying there. He is smart, cold and sharp, like a knife sharpened from the mountain fog.
At that time, everyone said that people like Chen Ce did not know how to love others.
But Nan Zhi knew otherwise.
He would stay up late to restore her material when she collapsed while editing; he would divide all scholarships into three parts, and the last part would be used to buy her a hard drive; he would stand at the door of Beizhuan on the first snowy night in Beijing, silent for a long time, and say: "Nan Zhi, I want to see you."
They used to be good.
So good that Nan Zhi thought that she was the only part of Chen Ce's gloomy life that didn't need to be calculated.
It wasn't until the year of graduation that she got an offer from Shanghai Documentary Company.
Chen Ce calculated the platform, income, industry risks, and off-site costs for her, and listed a more stable path for her.
But the only thing he didn't ask her was: "Do you want to go?"
Nan Zhi finally understood.
It turns out she is not his exception.
She is just the variable in his life model that should not be out of control.
Reunited many years later, Chen Ce is already a hot upstart in the quantitative circle.
In front of the interview camera, Nan Zhi asked him:
"Mr. Chen, do you believe that life can be back-tested?"
Chen Ce looked at her and was silent for a long time.
Later he learned that the market can be backtested and strategies can be revised.
But the year Nan Zhi left, there was no second set of data.
Intent: Love is not about avoiding risks, but about respecting choices.
