The good old days.

The 27-year-old heroine thinks of herself in fifth grade, and her memories always appear unconsciously. The self-willed self, the pure first love, and the people who have been accidentally hurt are obviously not important things, but I just can't help thinking about it. I really like this sentence in it: Memory is a wonderful thing, it lives in the past, exists in the present, but can affect the future. The simple and beautiful years are narrated in the fresh and quiet style of painting. The blue wild and blue sky, cicadas and frogs and drums, childhood companions, and innocent feelings that have been lost for a long time, can be found one by one in the film of light and shadow. Seek, the ingeniousness of the movie is that even if you have never had such a childhood, you will find your own shadow in it, because the presentation that tends to be real contains the emotional fluctuations of growing up. The memory of the growth of universal values, the plain and delicate warmth is enough to touch the hearts of the audience inadvertently.
