This midsummer, Shang Qiyang was having a particularly miserable time.
A guitar that was smashed by his father, and a loveless marriage and family that seemed to be inseparable, he temporarily escaped from the oppressive city and hid in the courtyard of his grandma's house on the outskirts of the city to escape the summer heat. In the countryside where cicadas are noisy, I meet Jian Hexu, who grew up in the countryside, and his sister Jian Fan.
The noisy daily life in the countryside and the relaxed pace of suburban life. When they met again, the two became tablemates in the same classroom.
Shang Qiyang is outgoing and talkative, trapped under the control of his family, and the guitar is his only emotional outlet; Jian Hexu keeps joking around all day long, hiding all the devastated past in a smile, carrying the shadow of the past alone, always guarding his sister who is afraid of steps and loud noises.
One is trapped in the cold native family, and the other is trapped in the muddy past.
The teenagers quarreled, fished, and settled in a small study. The broken strings of the piano were slowly repaired, and the nightmares hidden in the night were soothed by the sound of the piano.
They did not make a grand declaration of redemption, they just became each other's companions who ran away together in the midsummer. They stepped on the trivialities and regrets of seventeen years old, supported each other, and headed towards the sunny front together.
The idea: Young people can reconcile with their original families in companionship, redeem each other, grow towards the sun, and gain warmth and courage in their ordinary daily lives.
