"The Best of Us", the most authentic youth documentary

"If I meet you again, after years, how will I pay my respects? With silence, with tears."

-Byron

every graduation season, will be screened by several youth films, after experiencing " In those years, the girl we chased together, "To Youth", "In a Hurry", "You at the same table", "Why Shengxiaomo", "My Girlhood"... After that, the screens that dominate this year are based on August Changan's The network drama "The Best of Us" adapted from the novel of the same name, Liu Haoran's Yu Huai and Tan Songyun's sorrow, interprets a period of brooding campus life.

Compared with other youth films, I think "The Best of Us" is the closest to most people's lives. Whether it's the fat and old school uniforms, the "dual-screen sliding" blackboard, the simple and boring questions of eating and sleeping, or the grade director who becomes "Roaring Emperor" all day long, they are exactly the same as our high school life.

Yu Huai is different from Naoki Irie in "Mischievous Kiss". He has good grades, but he is not a genius. He is just one of the most common schoolmasters in key schools. He has his own pride and dreams. Study hard with one mind, but if you don't pay attention, you will still be surpassed by others. But it is this Yu Huai that is closest to the look of the boy we like in memory.

Liu Haoran has a face of first love. He plays Yu Huai. He has a refreshing and clean appearance, a sunny smile and cute little tiger teeth. He looks like a schoolboy who sat next to us in high school silently doing questions. God.

Geng, who likes photography as much as Zhao Mosheng in "Why Shengxiaomo", she is not smart, and her grades are not good, but she never complains about herself, always works secretly, like a snail step by step towards her dream. She is a sunflower-like girl who can always bring joy and positive energy to the people around her.

The relationship between Geng Geng and Yu Huai also makes me feel unnaturally real.

If the relationship between Xue Shanshan and the big boss in "Shanshan Come Eat" is a meal after meal, then the relationship between Geng Geng and Yu Huai came out during the more than a thousand days of high school. . Just like what Yu Huai said, "We are together for six days, seven days a week." During the three years of high school, Geng Geng and Yu Huai encouraged and helped each other, and Yu Huai taught Geng Geng about physics and math. Geng Geng helped Yu Huai review Chinese and English, and drew a check mark to the other party before the exam, hoping to bring good luck to the other party. Their appointment to take the exam together in Beijing also supported them to survive the most stressful period before the college entrance examination. mental strength. The feelings between Geng Geng and Yu Huai should be what we all hope to have. Getting acquainted at the time of youth and ignorance began with the value of appearance, trapped in talent, and loyal to character. It is the most reliable relationship to be willing to live a life of material, rice, oil and salt, and to become the Soul Mate of the other party.

believes that everyone will meet a eldest sister like Beta in their student days, usually careless, open-mouthed, and poor grades, which is a headache for teachers, but if you can become good sisters and friends with her. When someone bullies you, she will definitely be the first to rush to help you beat that person to the floor. Their presence allows you to understand the true meaning of friends, and also allows you to feel the warmth from friendship.

Jiang Niannian in "The Best of Us", at the risk of being simply misunderstood, also told Simple Beilin's true face. Sure enough, his mind was pure and simple thinking that Jiang Niannian was instigating a divorce, and the two came into being gap. But when he simply realized that he had misunderstood Jiang Niannian and wanted to make peace with her, Jiang Niannian forgave her very generously. In fact, true friends are like this, and quarrels and estrangements will inevitably occur, but when this misunderstanding is resolved, the friendship is still there, and will never leave.

……

If the "Please answer" series in South Korea records the life of generations of Korean students when they are students, then I think "The Best of Us" is a

documentary that can represent the campus time of the 80s and 90s in China , They record our unsatisfactory life as a teenager, and they also provide us with a pure land away from the adult world full of gunpowder smoke. This pure land is called youth.
