There are countless unspoken thoughts hidden in the wind of midsummer: an accidental deskmate, a disrupted workday, a piece of paper full of problem-solving steps, a rainy night walk with just two people... When the cicadas stopped chirping, they wrote each other's names in the graduation album. Lin Weiyan thought that this secret love would end with the summer, but many years later, she received a letter from Jiang Yi, which contained a painting she had left behind back then, with the words on the back: "Actually, I noticed you very early."
Concept: the concept of the work
"Midsummer Love and the Chilling of Cicadas" centers on the delicate thoughts of a two-way secret love on a high school campus. It captures the youthful emotions hidden in the chirping of cicadas, sunshine, school uniforms and scratch paper, and shows the purity and beauty of "I love you so hard to express my love" in adolescence.
The story not only depicts the sourness and sweetness of being alone in secret love, but also conveys the warmth of "those unspoken feelings have been quietly caught by the other party" through the "two-way rush" revealed many years later - the hesitation and timidity in youth may leave regrets, but sincere care will eventually transcend time and become the most precious footnote in memories.
At the same time, through images such as midsummer and the chirping of cicadas, it is a metaphor that youth is as short-lived but warm as the seasons, and the concerns hidden in daily details are the most touching marks of growth.
