These days, whether it is the circle of friends or the hot search, it seems to be brushed by this film - "Young You", a youth drama film with the theme of campus.
What kind of story is such a popular movie telling, and why does it make so many people "cry"?
Let's take a look! (The following contains spoilers, so watch with caution!) ）
<h1>1</h1>
In 2011, at a repeat school in Anqiao City, Chen Nian (Zhou Dongyu), a senior in the tenth class of high school, carries milk with classmate Hu Xiaodi (Zhang Yifan), but the two seem to have some secrets hidden in their faces.
One day, watching the classmates running outside the classroom one by one in panic, Chen Nian took off his headphones, and what came out was a scream.
She hurried out, only to find that Hu Xiaofei had actually jumped off a building to commit suicide, and now it was just a cold corpse lying on the ground.
Around the crowd of onlookers took pictures with their mobile phones, talking about it, and no one felt a trace of pain for the loss of this living life. Only Chen Nian, she took off her school uniform and covered Hu Xiaofei's face, because she knew that Fluttershy did not want others to see her like this.
That day was the end of Hu Xiaofei's life, but it was also the beginning of Chen Nian's nightmare, and her sympathy for Hu Xiaofei made her the next target to be bullied.
<h1>2</h1>
Chen Nian, who was queuing up in the canteen to eat, was seen by Wei Lai (Zhou Ye) and others.
Wei Lai, this gentle and gentle girl, actually has a poisonous mind, and Hu Xiaofei's death is also related to her.
She said to Chen Nian that she wanted to ask about the problems in her studies after school, but in fact she wanted to take the opportunity to teach Chen Nian a lesson.
However, her request was rejected by Chen Nian as soon as he took a bite.
The end of Chen Nian's refusal was the violent beating of her by Wei Lai's group after school.
Chen Nian, who returned home, faced with her mother (Wu Yue), who was chased by people every day and had more and more white hair, listened to her mother's hopeful sentence that "after graduating from college, she can get out of the head" - she endured the bullying and did not say a word.
She also believes that after surviving the college entrance examination and entering the university, she is an adult, and the entanglement of these people will always end.

The days of staying up are not good, but fortunately, Chen Nian meets the teenager who has carried with him - Liu Beishan (Yi Qianxi).
The first meeting between the two was very profound and embarrassing.
That day, she came home from school as usual, but she met him who was beaten up, picked up the phone and called the police, but the beaten saw it. She was caught and asked to kiss him, or they wouldn't stop there.
Looking at the teenager in front of her who had been beaten to the point of breaking his head and bleeding, with a blue nose and swollen eyes, she did so.
The collision of lips between two strange teenagers also means that their lives have intersected since then.
One is a good student with excellent grades, and the other is a small who fights all day long, and they seem to be different, in fact, just like Liu Beishan said: What is different, either to be bullied, or not to bully others. ”

The rumors in the school about his mother's debts were all about, and Chen Nian was very uncomfortable in his heart.
In physical education class, she was ostracized by her classmates, smashed by Wei Lai with the ball, and even laughed at mercilessly: "Help your mother pay off the debt so tired, can you still come to play?" ”
Under the double stimulation of limbs and words, Chen Nian couldn't bear it, and she smashed the ball back, saying: "There is no end!" It seems that he wants to vent all the anger in his heart.
But Wei Lai's treatment of Chen Nian was not as simple as taking the ball and smashing it twice.
Chen Nian, who was walking on the stairs, was actually blackhanded by her back and fell down unguarded, seriously injured.
In the school doctor's office, Chen Nian was treating the wounds, listening to her classmate Li want to say that "if she stayed up again, she would pass", she did not want to be cowardly anymore, so she told the police about Hu Xiaofei's bullying by Wei Lai without concealment.
But after the school learned of this, the punishment for those who oppressed was only to suspend the school, and the culprit Wei Lai actually pretended to be pitiful, no punishment, no suspension, and everything was as usual.
And Wei Lai also sent her because of Chen Nianbao's warning, and actually waited at the door of Chen Nian's house, wanting revenge.

"Can you protect me?" No money to pay you. ”
Chen Nian, who escaped Wei Lai's bullying, found Liu Beishan, hoping that he would protect her, because she would have to go to Beijing no matter what. And Liu Beishan agreed to the condition is very simple, just let her write in the book - "Chen Nian owes Xiao Bei once."
Since then, Chen Nian's body has always been followed by a teenager wearing a hat. His presence seemed to bring a glimmer of light to her dark life.
"If you go forward, I will protect you from behind."
He sent her to school, picked her up from school, accompanied her with her homework, and he silently guarded all her things.
She was seriously preparing for the college entrance examination, and he lived as a jerk as usual, and their life continued.
However, what awaits Chen Nian will be an even more terrible nightmare.
<h1>6</h1>
It was a dark night, without a trace of light.
Xiao Bei did not come to the school to pick up Chen Nian from school because of some things, and Chen Nian, who was alone, was taken into the alley by Wei Lai and others, and began endless humiliation.
She was punched and kicked by them, shaved off her hair, and even stripped of her clothes and videotaped of bullying. She cried out in all her voice, but to no avail, and they continued to beat and scold her mercilessly until they left happily.
Looking at Chen Nian, who was abused to death in front of him, Xiao Bei was very heartbroken, and he was eager to kill these people.
But she stopped him from behind, didn't say a word, just cried heart-wrenching.
That night, he shaved her head for her, and he shaved his head for himself, and as a teenager, they seemed to see that the world was so cruel and merciless.

The college entrance examination finally kicked off, and Anqiao City, washed away by the torrential rain, was full of tension.
However, a buried female corpse gradually emerged, revealing the secret of chen nian who was struggling to write in the examination room at the moment.
"I like someone and I'm going to give her the best ending."
"Only if you win, I don't lose."
That day, Chen Nian and Xiao Bei were arguing about the abandoned factory building, and she didn't want the teenager to bear the blame for her mistakes—because Wei Lai's death was caused by her.
Now, Xiao Bei wants to pretend that he attempted rape of Wei Lai and killed people by mistake.
Xiao Bei said, "Don't forget, you still owe me once."
In this way, she could not fight her, and he bore the guilt for her.
<h1>8</h1>
In the detention center, Chen Nian came to see Xiao Bei.
The two people looking across the window did not say a word, and seemed to know what was in everyone's minds at this moment.
They laughed, they cried again. They live in the gutter, but they also look up at the stars.
Chen Nian decided that if she wanted to go out, then everyone would go out together, and don't leave her alone to go first.
So she chose to turn herself in and told the police that Wei Lai had bullied her, and she was sentenced to four years.
The two people in the police car were as relaxed as if they had completed the final exam.
No matter how painful the journey to the light, in the end they all made themselves back and let go of everything.
Years later, the two people who were released from prison were still in front of her, and he silently followed behind.
But this time he stopped wearing his hat, hid himself, and everything became calm.
Young you, please remember:
If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't be anxious, fight it!
The melancholy days will always pass, and the happy days will always come!
