Wen = living alone in Gangnam
Boys carry girls through the shade of green, the sun jumping on them.
The girl hugged the boy and rested her head on his shoulder, ignoring the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"How nice it would be if summer vacation never ended and the road never ended." After saying that, the girl hugged the boy tighter, and the parting grew like a tree on the side of the road.
Stills from the Summer Concerto
This is a scene from the Summer Concerto. The girl, in place of her dead twin sister, came from Taipei to Kinmen to make an appointment with the boy. After a summer together, she also fell in love with the boy.
But summer will eventually come to an end, and parting will eventually come. But the wind that blows in this summer, the sea that has been seen, the people who have liked, and the moments of sudden growth, will forever be engraved into the lives of boys and girls.

The wind of the Pacific Ocean blows gently.
A teenager named Ming Xiang started a one-man journey around the island in the headwind, carrying a bag and guitar, pedaling a bicycle.
He met many enthusiastic people along the way, but what accompanied Ming Xiang the most was the scenery along the way.

Taiwan's coastline stretches infinitely, and the scenery changes with it. The thin drifting clouds, rolling green mountains, clear mountain streams, and swaying yellow flowers allow him to stop and admire at any time. However, what gave Ming Xiang the most comfort was the vast blue sea.
During the day he talks to strangers he meets by the sea, and at night he plays guitar alone on the beach, hums ballads, and falls asleep to the sound of the waves.
With the exception of Etudes, many of the stories of summer take place by the sea.
Stills from "The Blue Gate"
In "The Blue Gate", Zhang Shihao's first time about Meng Kerou was also at the seaside. The sound of the waves gave the girl a lot of courage, so she asked the question, "Do you want to kiss me?"
Many high school students in Taiwan like to go to the beach to relax after the joint examination. Ke Jingteng and his classmates in "Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together" did just that.
Chase, play, fight water... The summer heat and the pressure of the college entrance examination are all washed away by the waves. Those feelings of nothingness have also precipitated, and even condensed into a decision that affects a lifetime.
Stills from "Tails of Summer"
In summer, the background color is not only the sea but also the rice fields. In "Tails of Summer", a green rice field encloses a vacant lot. Boys and girls meet here, chat, play the piano and play football, relaxed and comfortable.
There is also a rice field in Midsummer Lightyear, but it is split in two by the road leading to the school. Yu Shouheng and Kang Zhengxing, two good friends, ride their bicycles on this road every day.
The girl Huijia transferred to their school, and Yu Shouheng felt as if she wanted to rob her best friend. So that day after school, she frantically pedaled her bicycle, trying to provoke her.

At the end of the story, the three fatalistic entanglements also come to the beach and even wrestle. Their hearts that had been churning for many days finally pierced the sound of the waves, and for the first time they shouted out clearly.
The young heart is so sensitive and stubborn that it is easy to lose control, especially in the hot summer. However, the shade under the banyan tree can calm them down a little.
Stills from Nine Winds
The boys in "Nine Winds" like to gather under the banyan tree, read comics, chat about their hearts, listen to the sound of cicadas, and then laugh together to joke that the seniors "can't get their own horses.". The laughter, under the shade of the banyan tree, was so clear and crisp.
The sky is blue, the sea is clear, the wind is soft, and the smiles of the boys and girls are crystal clear. In such a summer, some people are destined to meet.

"My husband is the one in the flower shirt."
If it weren't for Lin Yuezhen's words, Meng Kerou wouldn't have paid attention to Zhang Shihao.
She had no interest in this childish ghost who liked to play idiots, let alone just look at him a few more times, and he actually began to be sentimental. He kept following behind him, repeating the same sentence:
"My name is Zhang Shihao, Scorpio, Type O, Swim Team, Guitar Club, I'm not bad!"
Hell, how could it be so childish! But Meng Kerou had to admit that he belonged to the boy of summer. When he laughed, it seemed that the whole summer sun was blooming on his face. The dimples rippled softly, and the corners of the mouth rose slightly, as if honey would flow out of there in the next second.
There are many such childish ghosts on the high school campus, and Ke Jingteng is also one of them. They will also meet a girl like Shen Jiayi.
Good homework, sit upright every day, always have a serious look. Like to be nosy, have endless reasons, and avoid her when doing "bad things", otherwise you will definitely be taught by her.
Stills from "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"
However, when Shen Jiayi is not so fake and serious, she is still quite cute. In particular, her smile, like the potato of Yangming Mountain, is pure and warm.
When Ke Jing was angry enough to be unable to do so, his eyes were very round, and his face was bulging, which made people want to pinch it.
The boys in the class still love Shen Jiayi's ponytail. Obviously, it is similar to other girls, but it is necessary to look a little better. Especially Ke Jingteng, when he first saw her tie a ponytail, he was really electrified.
On campus in the summer, such encounters and heartbeats occur randomly. It's just that we need to understand its preciousness and understand what youth really is after many years. Because everyone's answer is different.
For Lin Zhenxin, youth is the graduation commemorative book that has a lot of Andy Lau's head and is full of classmates' files.
For Ke Jingteng, youth is the white shirt that has been poked by Shen Jiayi many times, leaving a lot of blue handwriting.
For Meng Kerou, youth is to chase zhang Shihao behind Zhang Shihao on a bicycle, and then watch his flower shirt slowly drift away.
For Zheng Xiyan, Youth is the baseball game he watched with his brothers, although the result was not satisfactory, but he also shouted loudly.
The story of youth may not end in a hurry, but after many years of recalling, it will still be like a blue wind, blowing a circle of sad ripples in everyone's heart.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="155" > graduation, separation, and growth</h1>
"Li Song first moved, departed from the emotion, and was shocked by Shao Guang's haste. Do not forget what you have taught, but follow your instructions, and from now on know how to do the Mickey."
On graduation day, everyone gathered in the auditorium to sing the last song together. But Xiao Tang in "Nine Winds" took a box of baseballs to the court himself.
At first, the seven of them became good brothers because they liked baseball. Skipping class together, drinking, putting sisters, playing billiards... It was only the friendship that was supposed to be strong, but it collapsed in car accidents, car thefts and love triangles. At the same time, the baseball stars they idolize have also been darkened by signing gambling cases.
Adolescent boys always need group identity to seek a sense of existence, and they think that the classmates they see every day are good friends for life. But Xiao Tang and his brothers understood the impermanence of human affairs in the lesson of youth, and perhaps a small thing can make the brothers turn against each other and even change everyone's fate.
On the day of parting, Xiao Tang gave himself a coming-of-age ceremony on the court. When he threw baseball into his former idol, the boy finally became a man.
When we were young, we all wanted to grow up faster. Girls can go buy high heels and beautiful skirts, and boys are free to play games and fall in love.
Stills from "My Girlhood"
But "My Girlhood" Lin Zhenxin found the adult world very boring. She complained: "No one has ever told me that when I grow up, I may only do a bad job, talk about a bad relationship, and live a bad life." 」
But fortunately, after she resigned, Xu Taiyu actually miraculously appeared, and listened to Andy Lau's concert with her, and fulfilled the promise of the year.
The naïve ghost Ke Jingteng also grew up, not only famous for writing novels, but also learned to sincerely bless the girl he once liked- Shen Jiayi.
But Monk and Zhang Shihao have not yet grown up. Towards the end of summer, they sat on the streets of Taipei and sighed:
"Oh well, the whole summer is almost over, as if nothing has been done."
"Yeah, it's like just running around and doing nothing."
"You see, you haven't won a game, you really haven't done anything."
"What do you think?"
"So what do you think?"
"But there will always be something left behind, and what we will leave behind, we will become what kind of adults." 」
In fact, many summers have long passed, can you read this article and tell me what kind of adult i have become now?
