“Youth is a heavy rain. We expect to get wet in it, even if we may catch cold”. That’s why You Are the Apple of My Eye（《那些年我们一起追的女孩》） could lead us to our own memories. And now we happen to have the first ten years to look back on.

“We loved someone and we lost someone. This was youth…” Maybe we also had someone in heart during those years; maybe we also lost someone; maybe we just could not forget those “simple” years, we became the dramatis personae unconsciously and experienced their happiness and sorrow.

Something we missed or didn’t get is always nice; therefore memories are kind of beauty, although they always come with pain and regret. Faces blurred and smiles faded in our memories, but we still struggled to piece together those fragmented plots, which had been beautified and treasured by us.

Really, we cannot forget him? Or we just cannot forget ourselves who loved him so deeply:  the one who stood by the window, waiting for him; the one who suddenly laughed or cried for no reason; the one who enjoyed the secret love directed by herself… Have you been “the one” during those years?

If you’ve watched this movie and have the same feeling, you’ll find that youth is surprisingly similar. That’s why we were touched by a movie and began to recall those years… That’s our youth, bearing the same memory. If you feel tired, why not stop to get wet again in the rain?
