A classmate's accidental fall involved a series of unknown stories, and Chen Nian was also involved a little bit ... In her loneliest moment, a teenager named Xiao Bei (Jackson Yi Shi) broke into her world. ...

Good days tell a good story.

The background of the story is the college entrance examination. As a narrative timeline, we can understand the development of the story from four time nodes: before the college entrance examination, during the college entrance examination, after the college entrance examination and over time. The striking countdown on the blackboard, the huge slogan hanging on the campus, the earnest encouragement of the class teacher, and the exciting swearing-in on the playground-these memory symbols with a sense of substitution can almost capture young people preparing for the college entrance examination, young people admitted to universities, and young people who have participated in the college entrance examination.
