I often read "Children's Literature" when I read it, and there is a female author who is very eye-catching.
Her name is Rao Xueman.
The high school students she writes about are all sincere and cute, with a little youthful throbbing.
Recently, the movie "Hourglass", adapted from her novel of the same name, will be released on June 21, evoking memories of high school.
This film starring Qiu Tian, Bao Shangen and Huang Minghao is youthful.
The heroine Mo Xingxing was born in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and is a fateful person.
Her mother lost her life saving people, and her father drank heavily all day.
After living in high school, he was bullied by Jiang Lan, a female classmate from the same school, and was bullied and did not dare to resist.
It wasn't until the appearance of "Little Sun" Misha and gentle senior Lu Li that the three formed an "anti-bullying team" that Mo Xingxing regained his happiness and freedom.
On the way of youth and growth, there is pain and helplessness, but also sunshine and warmth.
Around the age of 18 is the best youth.
Under Rao Xueman's outline, every protagonist in it has an unknown secret and trauma.
In the summer when the college entrance examination has just ended, asking my best friend to come to the theater to chase movies is a tribute to youth.
The "Tianyi Middle School" in the film is also an old friend in the series of novels, referred to as "Tianzhong".
Under Rao Xueman's pen, the stories of countless boys and girls sprouted from this middle school.
18 years ago, as soon as the novel "Hourglass" was published, it caused a sensation in the entire youth literature circle.
After tea and dinner, middle school students often talk about this novel.
Each teenager in the story is in his prime, struggling to move forward.
Mo Xingxing, who is delicate and sensitive, redeemed himself by friendship.
The optimistic and warm rice sand has won friends and respect by virtue of righteousness.
The confident and brave Lu Li guards the people he wants to protect.
The beautiful and vain Jiang Lan was originally Mo Xingxing's childhood friend, but he accidentally regarded her as an imaginary enemy.
The grinning rich second-generation Mi Shuo is a heartless optimist.
There is also Abu, a gangster who likes Jiang Lan and is used by Jiang Lan.
In youth, everyone is the protagonist of their own story, and everyone has their own little secrets.
There is a line in the film that is impressive, in the face of school bullying, Misha said:
"If you are isolated together, you are not isolated."
In the long youth, it is really the happiest thing to have a girlfriend who fights side by side.
It is worth mentioning that on the ninth anniversary of the release of the movie "Left Ear", a blog post by Rao Xueman made "Left Ear" and "Hourglass" linked.
The main creative members of "Left Ear" Su Youpeng, Chen Duling, Ou Hao, and Ma Sichun have forwarded it one after another, and they are moving with love.
Hearing it in the left ear, the hourglass remembers the times we have forgotten.
On June 21st, meet at the theater.
