Synopsis
Like a silent poplar tree, he quietly grew into my youth. The old classroom of No. 3 Middle School, the hot chirping of cicadas, and the boy wearing the white school uniform. I thought I was just looking at him secretly, but I didn't know that he was also secretly looking at me. Later I learned that his sudden absences were due to him undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital; his deliberate indifference was because he was afraid of injuring me. In the countdown to his life, he endured the fear of death alone, but he still smiled and said to me: "The exam is coming soon, don't be distracted." ️ I wrote countless unsent letters and hid them in the deepest part of my schoolbag. And the last letter he left me read: "Lin Yan, don't feel sorry for me. My life is short, but because of your love, it has become very long." Two male protagonists / Pure campus love / Extreme regret / Two-way secret love / BE aesthetics Some likes are destined to be hidden in the chirping of cicadas, in unsent letters, and in the most painful corner of youth. Purpose: The purpose is not just to stay on the surface of youth pain or regret literature, but to try to explore the "essence of love" and "the continuation of life" under the double oppression of secular prejudice and the countdown to life and death. First of all, it extols a pure and ultimate two-way rush that transcends the secular world and life and death. In a small town environment where scores are paramount and prejudice is deep, the two teenagers recognized each other and redeemed each other in the dark. Their love is neither possessive nor demanding, only the ultimate restraint and fulfillment for each other's future and safety. This kind of love is a silent resistance to secular prejudice, proving that sincere emotions can transcend gender taboos and even shine the most dazzlingly in the shadow of death. Secondly, it explains the philosophy of life that "death is not the end, forgetfulness is". Although Jiang Chi died early, what he left to Lin Yan was not only endless sadness, but also a heavy expectation and strength. He used his life to teach Lin Yan how to love, how to face suffering, and how to move on with regrets. Jiang Chi's passion has disappeared, but his spiritual core continues through Lin Yan's life, becoming Lin Yan's confidence to move into a wider world. In the end, it is the deepest tribute and reconciliation to youth. The story tells readers that those grand but silent secret loves in youth, those unspoken confessions, and those regrets that came to an abrupt end, although painful, still constitute the most complete and tender chapter in life. True growth is not to deliberately forget the past, but to learn to properly place those loves and pains, and to bravely move towards the future with the power they give.
