When I was 16 years old (1998), I just graduated from junior high school and entered the first year of high school in the summer vacation. I went to Beijing alone with a group to travel. When I came home, I was a sleeper on the train. There were three girls sitting on the opposite sleeper, one of whom was 3 years older than me. years old, the other was her own sister, who was 11 years old at the time, and the third was their cousin, who was 1 year younger than me. I had a good time chatting with all three of them along the way, but I didn't have the courage to ask for the contact information of one of them. It was not until I got off the train that I realized that I regretted and regretted death. This has nothing to do with youth hormones, but blames himself for his cowardice! When I got home, I heard the songs I heard on the train, wow, the feeling of regret and depression is very uncomfortable!
Can I see them again? The chance of encountering the vast sea of people again is almost 0, what should I do? I caught some clues I got while chatting on the train - I only know that the three of them are in Y City, the eldest sister's name is known, the younger sister does not know, the cousin only knows the last name, in the first middle school of Y City, but because she is more than I am 1 year younger. I should be in the second and third year of junior high school. I will definitely make up classes in August during the summer vacation. If I can visit the middle school, I believe there is a certain chance to meet that cousin.
So I gritted my teeth and acted, but my home is more than 250 kilometers away from the city of Y, and there is no direct bus, so I can only go to the provincial capital to transfer. There is another problem. In the past, the ID card must be 16 years old to get it, unlike now), you can't stay, so you must return home from Y city within a day, not to mention that the traffic was not developed in 1998, just say that now, there are private It's actually very difficult to go back and forth in a place 250 kilometers away in a day (without taking the high speed). How to do?
Fortunately, between my home and Y city, I have an elementary school best friend in F city. So you can spend a day first, transfer to the provincial capital and go to F city to find this best friend, and then choose the opportunity to go to Y city, but the distance from F city to Y city is still quite far, more than 160 kilometers, but this distance is theoretically impossible to go back and forth in one day. questionable. At that time, my best friend was attacking "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". I was watching, but I didn't intend to pretend the plot. After telling him the schedule, he told me to be careful.
The next day, I got on the bus to Y city with a feeling that I couldn’t be more anxious. I didn’t want to watch the scenery along the way. I was thinking, what if my cousin was not in the middle school, and if my cousin was actually in the same class as me, I didn’t need to make up classes. What should I do, what if the school doesn't let me in... In short, I feel that this kind of plan has a very slim chance of success. After arriving in Y city, it was noon. First of all, I bought a map. At a glance, it turned out that the car in Y city It's lucky that the station is so close to City Y. Then I sneaked into Y City No. 1 Middle School (the campus security at that time was not as strict as it is now, and I looked like a student), and when it was time for class, I went to the third grade (1) class. I was really blind. I actually saw the cousin on the train at a glance! ! But when the cousin saw me, she was very frightened and jumped. She hid in the classroom after class and couldn't come out. Then I waited for another class until the end of school. As a result, my cousin ran away quickly. I understand, of course, it was because I was too It's abrupt, and everyone is so young, so of course beware of unfamiliar people. I caught up with her and quickly said sorry, I just wanted to know her cousin's phone number, she hurriedly said it, and then ran away.
When I got the phone number from my eldest cousin, I hurriedly went to the commissary to find the phone book. Sure enough, the number was there. When I called it, I believed that my cousin had informed her cousin in advance and told her to guard against me. After she answered my call, I forgot what she said, and I only knew that she answered "whatever you want" and "whatever you want" impatiently... I traveled all the way to find them, but I got such an indifferent response, but I Not frustrated at all. Because I have worked hard, I have challenged this slim probability, I no longer blame myself for my cowardice, and the sense of loss and guilt since returning home from Beijing has been swept away, as if I have never been so happy. Not Bad, it doesn't matter how it turns out, it doesn't really matter. Of course, the best ending is when the cousin sees me traveling all the way to find them, they are very happy to be friends with me, and they will contact me more in the future. This is the ending of Very Good.
When I returned to City F, it was already past 9 pm. My best friend was surprised to see that I really did it. In addition, I also saw that my best friend actually cleared the level of "Xianjian" while I was not there.
Of course, it doesn't really matter that there is no best ending. The important thing is that after this incident, I learned that don't do things that you regret easily. Even if something you regret happens, don't say despair lightly, don't run away, and be brave. For difficulties, do everything possible to turn Terrible into Not Bad. In fact, what is the difference between Terrible, Not Bad and Very Good? My answer is: as long as you work hard, Terrible and Not Bad are absolutely different, completely different endings, and the difference between Not Bad and Very Good is actually a little bit.
Speaking of the movie, after watching the experience of the male protagonist in the story, I felt too familiar. Although the male protagonist is cowardly and fearful by nature, he really worked hard and worked hard. Although there was no Very Good ending in the end, his efforts turned him from Terrible to Not Bad. The most important thing is that he should never again A lifetime of regret.
So, if you have also worked hard to make up for regrets and get a not-so-bad result in your life trajectory, then I think even if you don't like this movie, you will still think this is an inspirational movie.
