Now with the explosion of information, we feel the turbulence of the world all the time.
There are endless news and opinions every day, constantly refreshing everyone's cognition and three views. In the torrent of feeling social involution, the emotions stimulated by the epidemic and the three-child policy continued to ferment.
At this time, seeing the news of the reunion of the old friends in "Friends" was like a big tonic pill, which made people feel excited and tearful in the midst of anxiety.
The day the "Friends" reunion special went live, there was a wave of nostalgia online.
Those who once relied on it to continue their lives, while learning pure American language and laughing at the same time, did not hesitate to risk exposing their age, and expressed their excitement one after another.
There are you and me who are calling Ye Qing back.
How could these six old friends have such charisma? I think it's because they endorse not only the show, but also the feelings of a generation.
Although, after 27 years, the six leading actors have been unable to hide the passage of time, but when they sat on the long sofa, it seemed like yesterday was reappearing.
01
For many born in the 1980s, the earliest contact with sitcoms came from "Growing Pains".
Then almost with his own age, in the early 2000s, "Friends" began to become popular on campuses and among young people entering society.
And its popularity abroad started earlier. From 1994 to 2004, with 236 episodes in ten seasons and ten seasons, the six friends in "Friends" have grown from infancy to maturity. Love is divided and closed, and life is stumbling.
Six people with different personalities and different preferences, because they are rented together under one roof, have spawned many funny and empathetic stories.
The little crazy Phoebe, the detail-oriented Monica, the material but lovable Rachel, the inner house Ross, the sensitive Joey, the black Chandler, get together, and the collision is still today. Has a certain ornamental spark.
Although "Friends" was popular in the post-80s youth era, in fact, many post-90s generations are also loyal fans of the show.
In terms of the life scenes it reflects and expresses, it is closer to those young groups who have drifted away from their parents and worked hard in the city in recent years, and have had a lot of life intersections because of shared renting.
The mutual care in life and the mutual exchange of emotions have formed a special and profound friendship between them.
"Friends" shows young people's down-to-earth life through humorous expressions. Even the later "Sex and the City" and "The Big Bang Theory" couldn't catch up with its brilliance.

It can be said that "Friends" conveys the resonance of peers and the resonance across ages.
As a peer, I saw six young men and women of the same age as me, from youth just to their thirties, from fearless silly and sweet to humorous and open-minded after the joys and sorrows.
Ten years have passed, and in a trance, I can find my own shadow and the testimony of those friendships that never leave.
As a cross-age fan, I see a group of friends who have a similar experience with myself. Because of their life and wandering, they gather together to warm up in a remote city far away from their families, help each other, support and encourage each other.
All kinds of scenes, all kinds of emotions, and the spiritual resonance and comfort brought by the interlacing.
In the ten years and ten seasons of the plot, we have witnessed the ons and offs of Rachel and Ross's love, Joey and Chandler's silly but firm friendship, and the various efforts and changes they have made to make a living and make a living.
In the reunion special, for the first time, everyone heard from the two actors Rachel and Ross that the fake drama was really mutual, but for various reasons, the news did not really develop, which made old friends and fans excited. endlessly.
Many years later, when we talk about the feelings of the year, although time has passed, each of them is happy and there will be no more ripples. But this throbbing of pure love in their youth will now be a good memory for each other. Smile peacefully and bless each other.
And the friendship between old friends will only become more mellow with the baptism of time.
Although the plot is played in the play, the real friendship formed by the six partners in the ten years of working together and empathy is not a precious friendship?
Therefore, in the reunion special, we saw the beginning scene, the old friends came one by one to the studio where they worked and lived for a long time 27 years ago. The mood speaks for itself.
Maybe, many people will think that these are just for everyone to see, in the final analysis, it is also the needs of the plot and the quality of the actors.
perhaps you're right. But I don't think the emotions they show are fake. Only by being there, that kind of revisiting the old place, reappearing yesterday, the joy of old friends who have been with you for ten years getting together after 27 years of separation, I'm afraid I can't hide it.
This is also the feeling that "Friends" brings us.
Don't we have such a few old friends ourselves, who used to be close, complaining about each other and supporting each other, going crazy together and being silly together, and the best bad friends who talked and laughed freely?
Similarly, because they were busy with their own development and family after that, they stopped hanging out day and night, and even drifted away. But no matter how far apart we are, once we get back together, that feeling will come back!
03
I think the reunion special of "Friends" not only brings us back to the past, but also the new meaning given by time.
Faced with the loss of youth, what should we do? When we see the comparison of these six old friends before and after 27 years, we can't help but sigh that time is not forgiving.
Once upon a time, Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica were so handsome, cute and smart; Ross, Joey, and Chandler were either handsome, silly, or funny. Today, they are all real "old" friends over the age of 50 who have lost collagen, changed their posture, and even have silver threads in their hair.
With the passage of youth, the great road dictates that even celebrities who pay attention to maintenance cannot stop them from getting old. Appearance and age anxiety don't bring much positive change to us.
I think that only when you reach that age and go through it without confusion will you understand what is important to life. A healthy family, a few confidants, a happy conversation, and a sustainable friendship are the greatest happiness.
Entertaining spirit, fool yourself and entertain others. "Friends" brings us endless laughter and fun, which is why this show has swept the world and captured countless fans.
But only by going deep into the plot, can we feel the meaning of those jokes. The foundation of many jokes is a kind of joy in bitterness. After laughing, we will also feel the helplessness and sadness of the characters.
Although this is a form of comedy, in our daily life, we too need this spirit of entertainment. Life is so hard, only an optimistic and open-minded state of mind can add sugar to the pain and taste less bitter.
People who fool themselves and entertain others and laugh at themselves are kind people . A friend who creates happiness for the people around you in a humorous way, resolves contradictions and embarrassment with lighthearted humor, and even builds the happiness of others on your own pain, is a friend who is worthy of being cherished and cherished.
This wave of memories kills people with feelings and touches.
Looking back at myself, how long have we been in contact with each other in those years, cheering up, and laughing about future partners and friends? Are they all still active in your circle of friends?
Youth is gone, old friends are gone.
Hurry up and get on the phone, let's meet again
