On the first day of school when the cherry blossoms are blooming, the cold-blooded school tyrant Wen Xueshi and the handsome school bastard Hirano become estranged due to a bicycle accident. When the two people who were forced to be roommates discovered each other's secrets - Wen Xueshi was afraid of thunderstorms, and Lin Zhouye hid a sketchbook full of each other's drawings, the gears of fate began to turn.
"The red rope is proof, you are the one I want to keep safe." On a rainy night, Lin Zhouye tied the red rope left by his grandma around Wen Xueshi's wrist. When the picture album was circulated in public, Wen Xueshi tore into pieces of herself in Hanfu: "Why do you make decisions on your own?" However, he was blocked by an injured young man on the rooftop during a rainstorm: "Because I fucking like you!"
From the strawberry cake in the infirmary to the first night at the seaside B&B, from the game of college entrance examination application to the engagement of two cans. Under the cherry blossom tree that year, the eighteen-year-old wind passed through their interlocked fingers and wrote on page 108 of the poem: "The three characters Lin and Ye are exactly the rhythm of the heartbeat when the snow is warm."
Intent: Core theme: "Be brave enough to become your own poetry within secular rules."
Deep expression:
1. Youthful rebellion and self-identity
- Through the collision between Wen Xueshi (restrained and restrained) and Lin Zhouye (outgoing and unrestrained), it shows the tearing down and reshaping of "labels" by teenagers in the process of growing up.
- Symbol: The red rope (traditional bondage) is redefined as a "token of love", and ancient poetry (stereotype) becomes a confession tool.
2. The redemptive power of love
- Wen Xueshi's perfectionism formed due to family repression was cured by Lin Zhouye's "imperfect but hot" love;
- When Lin Zhouye used the red rope left by his grandma to protect Wen Xue, the two of them were actually filling in the warmth of "home" that was missing in each other's lives.
3. Courage to fight against the world
- From the social scene of "the album being made public" to the calmness of "holding hands in public", it shows the difficult transformation of sympathy from hidden to open in the campus environment.
- Key line: "If liking you is a disaster, I would rather never survive it." (Lin Jiye)
4. Fusion of tradition and contemporary
- Use Li Bai's poems to connect the plot (such as "How can we meet before", which is a metaphor for same-sex love since ancient times), breaking the stereotyped separation between "classical" and "modern".
