The Story of Little Abin

The first story happened in Beijing in the late 1980s. In that age of active thinking and complicated lifestyle, there was such a quiet and rich naive teenager.

A Bin, a teenager, is a first-year student in a polytechnic university. He is sensitive but not good at words. Trash bins like to handle electronic and mechanical equipment. In my spare time, I either bury myself in picking up some negatives to enlarge them, or dismantle old appliances at home and sometimes assemble some old computers. Often a thing is assembled, only to find that there are more parts, but the machine in hand can still rotate. The family thought Abin was a little strange.

One day, Abin accidentally caught up with a falling object in the air while riding a bicycle in the alley, only to find that it was a damaged negative, and Abin put it in his pocket. At the home of classmate Li Wei, Abin used the abandoned darkroom to develop a photo of a girl who touched his heart. The girl's hair in the photo seems to have just been washed, wet and messy over her thin shoulders. Abin fell in love with the girl in the photo.

The school held various college football leagues, and Abin was chosen as a striker together with other universities. On the football field, Abin didn't play well, and neither side scored at the end of the game. Abin ran slowly and lazily along the edge of the football field. Suddenly, he found that one of the cheerleaders was the girl in the photo. Abin suddenly became excited. With the boy's heroic desire, he stuck the ball under his feet and then shot it long. The ball made a beautiful arc in the air and entered the goal. At this time, the whistle at the end of the game sounded and the thunder caused a sensation. Abin's school team won the championship. The students threw Abin high, but what Abin saw in mid-air was only the smile of the cheerleading girl in the dizzy world.

One day, Abin found the girl in the photo walking through the alley downstairs on his balcony, and Abin had an inexplicable impulse in his heart. So Abin quickly picked up the trash can from the corner and ran downstairs to take out the garbage. As a result, she ran into the girl. The girl quickly recognized Abin as a gunman and generously told him that her name was Mao Mao and she lived nearby. But shy Abin didn't have more chance to talk to Mao Mao.

Abin decided to draw a portrait of Mao Mao with his old computer. So he sat in front of the computer and drew a portrait of himself. The portrait is a bit as lame as a cartoon, but Abin is still very satisfied. He proudly signed a name at the bottom of the painting: shooter Abin. I sent this painting to the printing factory, but it was either a bunch of nonsense or some astronomical patterns printed, and finally the painting was printed. Abin decided to give this painting to Mao Mao sometime.

It was a CET-4, and Abin walked around the entrance of the examination room with a picture. He felt that he would definitely meet Mao Mao at this time, and everyone took the test. Only Abin was still at the door, and Mao Mao finally came. Abin blushed and handed her the crumpled photo. This is the invigilator coming out. The next scene is that the two of them are in the office, and they are considered to be partners cheating to write a review.

After this incident, Abin and Mao Mao met, but he was afraid to tell her that he liked her. One day, lovelorn Mao Mao suddenly called Abin to watch the flag-lowering ceremony. Along the way, Mao Mao, who looked unhappy, kept telling Abin about the last day when she broke up with her boyfriend. Abin has a different taste in his heart. The flag lowering ceremony was about to begin, but Mao Mao received a page. She excitedly told Abin that it was her boyfriend, turned around and ran away happily. That night, Abin watched the flag lowering ceremony alone and strolled home with street lamps.

On a rainy night full of stories, Abin went to see his good friend Li Wei and wanted to go to Mao Mao to see a movie with him. Li Wei didn't go with him. He accidentally told Abin that he had dropped out of school because he wanted to ride a bike to see the grassland and the frontier. After coming out of Li Wei's home, Abin suddenly became a lot braver. After watching the old American movie Love Story, he and Mao Mao walked in the rain. No one spoke, and suddenly Mao Mao cried. Abin doesn't know what to do. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He suddenly ran to the telephone booth in the street and dialed the paging station in Mao Mao. He told the pager lady that his message was "I like you".

In the street at night, it is still raining, and the pager rings in the rain. ...

Lonely phone call

The hero and heroine of the second story are a pair of young people in the early 1990s. Their youth lives in the atmosphere of going abroad, intellectuals going to sea and Beijing's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games. This is a disorderly world with strong vitality. Mao Mao and her boyfriend Lu Lin are graduates of a drama school. Mao Mao studied drama literature and Lu Lin studied drama director. When they graduated, they vowed to make an extraordinary experimental drama together. However, the world after graduation is completely different from the life you imagined.

Almost a year after graduation, the couple rented a bungalow in an old and shabby yard, next to a man selling bean sprouts, a couple driving a taxi and a retired artist Guan Daye who kept flowers and walked birds all day. Mao Mao was assigned to work in a cultural center in a certain district, and her daily work was accompanied by street cadres such as the old lady. In order to bid for the Olympic Games and other activities, he had to organize amateur singing competitions, reading poems with music and popular yangko competitions from time to time. Mao Mao was very depressed. After graduation, she insisted on completing the experimental drama "Flying around". Lu Lin was very excited after watching it, and prepared to build a stage in the form of a computer screen and adapt it into a modern drama. So Lu Lin went out to solicit sponsorship every day, but enterprises and companies either made harsh demands, or appointed an ambiguous woman as the leading role, or asked to add various advertisements to the play. Lu Lin is in great pain.

Angry, but he decided to keep looking for sponsorship.

Life is helpless and monotonous. Mao Mao gradually does not adapt to this life with too little material, and the life in the painting is too romantic and bitter. Mao Mao began to yearn for getting rid of this complicated life. She no longer cares about whether her play has been rehearsed, but also quit her job in the cultural center, signed up for the TOEFL test and began to review the TOEFL. Every morning, Uncle Guan goes out for a walk with the birdcage, and the master in front honks the horn to go out. Mao Mao also began to review English quietly in the yard. Lu Lin still talks about sponsorship with a script that has been revised several times. Mao Mao, who studied alone, came to the English corner in Shichahai. A group of young people are determined to learn English well and go abroad. They all talk and study in English. There, Mao Mao met an American Mike who wanted to learn Chinese from her.

Lulin's sponsorship has always been a good thing. Until one day he met a rich widow who lived alone. Rich widows have their own way of life and emotion. They are attracted to each other because of the drama.

After the TOEFL test, the postman will come here every morning and give the airmail letter from abroad to Mao Mao. One night, when Lu Lin came back from the outside tired, Mao Mao told him excitedly that the University of California had sent a letter of acceptance for a full scholarship. Lulin Wenxun doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, because he has already put himself into the rehearsal of Flying. We need Mao Mao's full commitment from tonight. Information and mutual sense of loss are mixed with their emotions. At this time, three other people in the yard who rarely communicate at ordinary times learned the news and decided to celebrate for the young couple. So in this quiet small courtyard, a table was set, and six people of different ages and identities gathered together happily as never before. Life seems to suddenly become beautiful and clear.

Mao Mao has left. Life in the small yard remains the same. Lulin gets up early every day with everyone from all wings to decorate the upcoming play. On a quiet and deserted afternoon, Uncle Guan received an overseas phone call in the yard. She asked the old man to tell Lulin to wait for her call at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The old man told her that everyone missed her.

The next afternoon, the overseas phone call arrived as scheduled, and the ringing phone rang lonely over the small yard. There is no one in the empty yard. On the other side of the city, Flying is being staged in a magnificent little theater. The wonderful performance of the actors on the stage won bursts of applause. Lulin sat at the end of the theater, staring solemnly at his own stage.

Love on the Internet

The third story tells the topic of love and marriage with the characteristics of the times in the late 1990s. Network survival has become the life of a generation of young people. Abin, 30 years old, has been the head of the technical department of a computer company, but he has never looked like his older youth. However, for girls and love, there have always been obstacles. Anxious mother looked for him everywhere, but she couldn't find him.

After several failed blind date experiences, Abin didn't focus on his personal life and didn't meet anyone introduced by his mother. He returned to his sloppy life and sought communication in the online world. One day, he established a female student from China named Lucia on the Internet. They talked a lot on the Internet. ...

Abin's mother always found that her son was undergoing obvious changes, and only when she asked did she know that a girl on the Internet was slowly changing Abin's life. He began to be indifferent to his living environment. Often cleaning the room, paying attention to dressing up and learning to cook, my mother began to like the girl on the internet. But the only worry is what the girls on the Internet look like.

One day, the girl told Abin online that she would return to China in a short time, hoping that he could meet her at the airport. So Abin found that the girl was an important part of his daily life from the day he received the letter. He has fallen in love with her. On the day when the girl came back, Abin dressed up and bought a handful of flowers to meet her at the airport. He saw several girls from China and foreign countries on the Canadian flight, and he tried to imagine and identify the image of his lover. Finally, he saw Mao Mao, whom he hadn't seen for many years. He came to him with his luggage in doubt. The passengers are all empty, and there are two people left in the waiting room who can't believe each other. Abin and Mao Mao were surprised to find that the other was their first love in childhood.

Mao Mao asked Abin to accompany her to see the quadrangle where she used to live, and what she saw was a skyscraper community. That night, Mao Mao went to the new building where his relatives lived, but she found that she had no personal space in the past. In a large area of similar buildings in the newly-built residential area, Abin, who yearned for it, finally found Mao Mao disappeared in the high-rise building. The two of them went to Mao Mao's alma mater, Theatre Academy. When it began to rain from the Theatre Academy, they unconsciously came to the place where they stayed on a rainy night in the first story, and Mao Mao seemed to be remembering something. Abin looked at the familiar telephone booth and finally said to Mao Mao, Let's get married.

Everything seems bright and simple. Abin wanted to keep her best feelings about Mao Mao until her wedding day, so they came to the marriage registration office. However, I found that I needed a premarital health check-up, but as a result of waiting for the premarital check-up in the hospital, Mao Mao was confirmed to be pregnant. Abin didn't ask Mao Mao any questions about this puzzling reality. Finally, Abin told Mao Mao: No matter what decision you make, I just want to tell you that I like you.

Mao Mao made a long-distance call to the United States. She has been talking to Mike across the ocean in English. That day, Mao Mao told Abin that she decided to go back to California because she loved that man. And she and Abin may take care of their best friends. At parting, Abin was asked to visit the old artist Guan Daye who sang the lost Jing Yun drum for the last time in the park. But the old people told them that Uncle Guan had not been to the park for a long time and heard that he had entered a nursing home. The two came to the nursing home, and the staff told them that Uncle Guan had passed away last week.

Mao Mao has been back to Canada for a long time, but Abin has been reluctant to open his computer and email. That day, he found Mao Mao's photo, which was the first time he picked up and enlarged it from the pile of old books. He turned over the back of the photo, took a pen and wrote a line on it: How have you been during this period of no news? He put the letter in an airmail envelope. Abin rode his bike through the alleys of the city and dropped the letter into the mailbox. There was a slight and empty falling sound in the mailbox, like a mailbox where few people put letters.

Mao Mao opened the letter, revealing a photo of He Miaomiao's girlhood. Mao Mao leaned against the window, and gradually showed the image of her mother, her eyes shining with happiness. She decided to keep this letter and this photo in her memory.

The film commented that this is a love story about a boy named Abin who fell in love with a girl named Mao Mao, but Mao Mao already has a boyfriend. Once Mao Mao quarreled with her boyfriend, she went to Abin and told him about her love for her boyfriend and the process of breaking up. Abin is very unhappy. Until Mao Mao said that she would not return her boyfriend's phone calls, Abin was very happy and felt a glimmer of hope. But just as they were going to a celebrity cemetery, Mao Mao's boyfriend called Mao Mao, so Mao Mao turned to find her boyfriend, leaving Abin sad. Later, Abin asked Mao Mao to watch a love movie and wanted to tell her. But when she was ready to confess, Mao Mao cried sadly, so Abin went to the telephone booth and left a message for Mao Mao, saying "I like you" and never looked for Mao Mao again. After that, Mao Mao and Lulin lived in a quadrangle and got married. Lulin has always wanted to get ahead and get along better. Although Mao Mao thought so, she didn't insist. She thinks that as long as Lulin is around, it is enough. In order to get sponsorship, Lulin met a middle-aged woman and went back very late. After returning, she told Mao Mao that Mao Mao left the quadrangle the next day and divorced Lulin and went abroad. The story goes back to Abin. Abin hasn't met a girl he likes until he met a very accommodating netizen. Finally, when this netizen came back from abroad to meet him, he found that this netizen was his first love-Mao Mao. So they went to the place where they first met. Abin still wants to start over with Mao Mao, but Mao Mao suddenly feels uncomfortable. After examination, it turned out that she was pregnant. This man is a foreign student. At the end of the story, Mao Mao returned to a foreign country. Abin finally sent her a photo of Mao Mao when she first fell in love.

Although this story seems to have many coincidences, it reflects a very real life, very realistic and helpless. Mao Mao was able to go to Abin when he was at school, because Mao Mao still wanted to be liked by another person. Mao Mao also knows that Abin likes her, and she is willing to do so. But when her boyfriend paged her, she could take Abin's feelings into consideration without scruple, because Abin is not the most important thing to her. Later, Lulin cheated. For her future, love seems very humble. Lulin didn't hide it from Mao Mao, but told Mao Mao directly. Because she was afraid of her conscience, Mao Mao decided to divorce. It can be seen that no matter how deep the feelings are, they can't stand the blow of betrayal. Love in life is like this. It looks indestructible, but it is actually like a glass. Later, Abin broke up with his girlfriend, not because Abin couldn't fall in love and broke up, but because he didn't like this girlfriend at all. As long as you like someone very much, they won't feel it. Finally, Abin and Mao Mao meet again through the Internet. Abin still thinks that love is ideal, but Mao Mao is pregnant with someone else's child without waiting for him. I think this is a very good movie. Although the ending is not as satisfactory as most people expected, it is the reality that suits me best.

After reading it, I suddenly felt very sad. I feel that life is really too realistic and cruel, and I am skeptical about love. I may not have understood so much before, but after I talked about love, it seems that many things can be understood, and many things feel helpless. Will people become real fools when they grow up?

After reading the online stories, I divided them into three independent stories, but when I read them, I only looked at them as a whole, so my understanding may be biased, but what I understand is my own feelings.
