On September 17, 1905, the movie "Watching Youth", directed by Wang Ye and starring Lin Yongjian, was officially released, in which actor Lin Yongjian played the role of Liu Wei, director of the "Sizheng" teaching and research department.
The film tells the story of the counselor Wang Yifan because of the poor handling of the relationship with the students and extremely depressed, so he went to his teacher Liu Wei to talk, the seriously ill teacher Liu took Wang Yifan, and the "problem graduates" were lost, and the three of them embarked on a trip together. This is a reunion journey between teachers and students spanning thirty years, interspersed with the interlacing of the camera, the touching story of the scene that happened between Teacher Lin and his students is told: from inferiority to self-confidence, from wasting time to catching up, along the way Wang Yifan accompanied Teacher Liu, and also witnessed what kind of effort and effort he paid to open the hearts of students and help them successfully cross the various "passes" of youth growth, and finally Wang Yifan had a deeper understanding of the identity of the counselor. Confidence in education has also been regained.
As the first film in China to focus on the theme of college counselors, this film is based on the national "model of the times", the national outstanding teacher, Professor Qu Jianwu of Dalian Maritime University as the prototype. Lin Yongjian said that when he first read the script, he was deeply moved by this story and choked back tears several times. In order to play the role of Liu Wei, he immersed himself in studying the script and had a lot of in-depth exchanges with the archetypal character Qu Jianwu. Under his delicate interpretation, the image of Teacher Liu Wei is vivid and three-dimensional, and in the daily interaction between teachers and students, there is a funny "duel" that is one foot high and one foot high, and there are also warm moments that open the heart to communicate, and the sense of substitution is extremely strong.
When Liu Wei said: "As a teacher, I have taught a lot of students, in my heart, they are all my children", which made people cry, Lin Yongjian interpreted the image of an excellent teacher who is willing to work hard for the healthy growth of the younger generation.
