In the late 1980s, the earliest batch of single children in the country just entered the stage of students spanning primary and junior high schools. Chen Xiaojin, a dual-earner family in a certain county, is such an only child. At the beginning of Chen Xiaojin’s summer vacation, his grandparents went to his uncle’s house out of town, and his neighbor Wei Dong, who often played together, went to his out-of-town father’s house. Every day, when Chen Xiaojin’s parents go to work in the factory, Chen Xiaojin is left alone at home. During the long days day after day, Chen Xiaojin, the only child, endured the constant growth of loneliness. He used a lot of methods to pass the time, especially in the afternoon, he read books, played chess manuals, and even played with ants, cicadas and other insects boringly. The day was finally over, and in the evening, Chen Xiaojin would tear up the calendar for that day. For the summer vacation that many children are looking forward to, it is difficult for Chen Xiaojin. He is eager to turn the calendar to the start of school as soon as possible and to finish this long summer vacation as soon as possible.

The Love Tree of Nanming

This movie has a touch of history to it. At its core, is a story about love, but its heavily intertwined with mythological legends and folk tales, and even the story occurs across two time periods between the past and the present with 700 years difference. It’s very appealing to see the type of love that can overcome the boundaries of time and other external factors. It definitely feels more real than other counterparts in the same genre, and it delves into many many other topics related to the politics of the country and other various disasters, but seeing how love can overcome all that is a really gratifying feeling that is worth the time of everyone.

Revival

The movie is a chinese adaptation of the novel The Murder in Kairotei or Kairoutei Satsujin Jiken by Keigo Higashino. This alone should be enough to get you on board the train really. Keigo Higashino is a master of detective fiction and his stories can leave a deep impact on the viewer, simply because they are intended for that. To push the metafictional layer of storytelling, just like in this movie where the protagonist speaks to the viewer and tells them about her intent to murder for revenge. As with every good mystery, the movie contains many hints that allow you to solve the case even before the answer appears on screen, and it would be a lot of fun to think about the murderer along the way.
