[Ten Years]

[Episode 1 The Unspoken Crush and The Unforgettable Youth]

[March 2022]

This is a diary about 10 years of youth.

Ten years have changed lots of things.

It's as if half of my life has passed.

In these past 10 years,

I have watched my love bud,

blossom,

and then quickly fade away like a mirage.

You told me that you wanted to weather the storms together with me,

but it's better to forget each other like strangers in the world.

I have watched my beloved girl fell,

leave,

and disappear in the crowd.

I have watched my wealthiest friend's family falling apart

and lives being lost.

I have also witnessed a fragile relationship

that stood the test of time.

Life has transformed us

into versions of ourselves we never imagined.

But when the story began,

we were still in the sunny campus,

enjoying the blissful days of unawareness.

I remember that day

when we were about to graduate.

[Shikeya]

[The End of March 2012]

It's not bad.

Try this.

Sorry for being late.

You're late.

We have ordered.

Hurry up.

All the dishes are here.

Thank you.

Cheng.

Come here.

Bottoms up! Let's toast to making a memory.

Cheers.

According to this address,

go ahead and order two hundred catties of rice wine.

Okay, Xuan.

[Auntie Chen Wine Shop, Dongli Village]

[Auntie Chen Wine Shop]

[Passing down from ancestors, leaving a lasting fragrance for generations.]

Young man, do you drink?

I don't drink.

You gotta drink booze regularly.

If a young man doesn't drink,

how can he get a girlfriend?

If you don't drink,

how can you get a girlfriend?

Auntie Chen,

you must have the wine delivered tomorrow.

Sure. Don't worry.

Hello.

Hello, Lin Yicheng.

Come to the big multi-purpose hall now.

[Auntie Chen Wine Shop]

I'm not at school now.

I have something to do outside.

Lin Yicheng,

let me tell you,

a member of our school debate team had a car accident.

He is fine,

but I need you to come over and substitute as the second speaker.

Listen,

this is a rare opportunity.

You'll get a bonus once you participate in the competition.

I don't care where you are now.

You must arrive at the multi-purpose hall

before eight o'clock.

Is there any problem?

Okay, no problem.

Okay.

Guys,

make sure the tablecloth is flat.

And those bottles of mineral water,

make sure to arrange them neatly.

This competition is very important.

Yes, teacher.

Come here.

Principal.

Will the car accident affect the debate?

No, it won't. Everything's fine.

That's good.

Listen.

The city attaches great importance to this debate competition.

Our school has prepared for a long time.

The poster has been posted.

The reporters from the television station will be here soon.

If something goes wrong,

it will not only be our school's problem.

Principal, don't worry.

I know what to do.

[First Bus, 05:30]

[Last Bus, 17:00]

Excuse me,

is there a bus?

There's no bus at this hour.

Bro,

I'm going to the city.

Five yuan for a personal ride.

Is that okay?

Yes.

Bro,

the front passenger seat in my car is not convenient.

Sorry,

I had to let you sit in the back.

It's okay.

Just hurry up.

Okay.

What a personal ride.

That's good.

It's almost done.

Okay.

I have to take this call.

Hello, it's me.

What?

Okay, I see.

I see.

What's wrong?

The third speaker of the school team was also in that car.

-He can't come. -This...

He's injured too.

What should we do?

It's okay.

There's another substitute called Wang Ran.

She's good too.

I'll call her over now.

Hurry up.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

I know what to do.

I know what to do.

[Cleaning, do not use.]

[Cleaning, do not use.]

Hello, Director Yan.

You forgot again.

Bing.

Is everything ready?

Yes.

Mr. Liu is from Shandong.

So we prepared him

Nine-fold Intestines and Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions of the Shandong cuisine.

And Mr. Zhu is from Hebei,

but he grew up in Guangdong,

his taste is relatively light.

So I prepared crispy pigeon and roasted pig of the Guangdong cuisine.

Mr. Zhang went to a university in Taizhou.

So,

I prepared him Taizhou Rice Cake with Yellow Fish.

I don't know where Secretary Lu from.

But he should like Freshly Brewed Morel Mushrooms

and Crispy Honeycomb Beef Brisket.

Very good.

How is it?

She didn't pick up.

It's okay.

I can find her.

Don't worry.

I know what to do.

[Miss Li]

Hello, Miss Li.

Liu Ke,

can you contact Wang Ran for me?

I can't reach her now.

I don't know where Ranran is.

She didn't tell me.

Can you try to contact her for me?

Okay.

I'll contact her now,

and tell her to call you back immediately.

Okay.

Hello,

the subscriber you dialed cannot be connected.

Call Miss Li when you see this message.

She has something urgent to tell you.

Let's eat.

By the way, Ke,

is this a high power electrical appliance?

We'll be punished if we get caught.

Don't worry.

Someone is watching for us.

Let's eat.

It took an hour

to come here by bus.

Half an hour on the highway.

If I reach the highway entrance now...

That happens to be the departure time for the bus.

The time should be just right.

Got it, got it.

Five yuan. Five yuan.

Uncle, I need to discuss with you.

Can you get me to the highway entrance now?

This is not okay.

Didn't we make a deal earlier?

I'll give you 50 yuan.

I'm just helping,

not for money.

Okay, please hurry up.

Okay.

Nice play!

Good!

What? I'm hitting on a girl.

Come pick me up at the highway entrance.

Bro, no problem.

I'll be there.

Okay, hurry up.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good student,

am I reliable?

Let me tell you.

I'm running out of time.

Let's go.

Don't worry.

My car

is very fast.

Just one word, cool.

I know.

Just like you.

Who pecked your face this time?

Why don't you wipe it?

This is the mark of love.

How can I wipe it?

Okay, bro.

Don't ask me to block her

when she comes to you.

It's not my fault.

When I say I like a girl,

I really like the girl.

But...

after being with me,

they automatically assume themselves to be my girlfriends,

and want to spend the rest of their lives with me.

Who can stand it?

Can't you reflect on yourself?

I did.

It's all because I'm too handsome.

I can't help it. I'm born charming.

OK. OK.

Don't just talk about me. What about you?

Do you have someone you like?

No.

Time to work.

All you do is sleep.

Dayu, water.

Tao.

In this society,

loyalty is the most important thing.

Brothers, it's been two days.

It's not good for your health to lie down like this.

Do you want me to take a walk with you?

To take a look, okay?

Is that okay?

It's time to exercise.

Music.

[United and happily repaying debts with friendship.]

When will your little brother show up?

When?

[United and happily repaying debts with friendship.]

80.

The money is right.

If your brother had come earlier,

nothing would have happened.

We've been staying here for two days.

This part of the money will be calculated separately.

Water, electricity and rent.

200 yuan

is enough.

Let's go.

By the way,

this is my business card.

If anyone owes you money,

[Nemesis of Deadbeat, Chen Tao]

feel free to contact me anytime.

We prioritize integrity in our work.

Our slogan is:

United and happily

repaying debts with friendship.

Get lost!

No problem!

We've entered the main city.

Half an hour left. That's enough.

Afterward,

let's have a gathering at Shikeya for a meal,

and I'll treat.

No, I...

You used to treat us every time.

There will be a bonus.

I'll get more bonus if I win.

Okay, don't worry.

I'll be on time...

I heard the sound when I was speeding last night.

I was careless.

[Tao]

A small part is determined by fate,

while a large part relies on hard work.

Go.

I'm not there.

But not far.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Send the money to Liu.

I have to go.

Don't you jump.

There's a way.

Son, why are you looking for your dad?

Get off.

I'll leave the car to you.

I have to go back to school.

Be careful.

Kai.

Tao.

Which girl kissed you?

Let's talk about it later.

Check the car for me.

Principal,

the two students who were practice partners

have already been summoned.

They will be our backups.

That's good.

This friendly match

is a commemorative event celebrating the 10th anniversary

of the exchange between the two schools.

The format of the event should be innovative and harmonious.

Winning is not important.

Friendship comes first.

Right?

But the four of our speakers should be good-looking,

and elegant.

They must have a good image,

and can show the charisma of our school.

As long as Lin Yicheng and Wang Ran can make it,

I'll let them take the stage.

Do you have any confidence now?

No problem.

See, we still have 20 minutes.

I'm confident.

I'll call them again.

Wang Ran,

why are you still here?

Miss Li has already...

What's wrong with Miss Li?

This young man, he...

Miss Li is dying.

She was fine this afternoon.

Stop talking.

She's not only a teacher,

but also your aunt.

Bing, directors,

I'm sorry.

Something urgent came up at home.

I have to go.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

She's young.

And has something to do at home.

Let's continue.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Miss Li, where are they?

Why haven't they arrived yet?

It's okay.

I am confident.

I'm confident.

Confident?

It's almost eight o'clock.

How can you still be confident?

Alright, I won't wait.

Let's start now.

[Debate]

[Xicheng University]

[Chinese University of Singapore]

Teachers, classmates,

and judges,

good evening.

The debate starts now.

The affirmative side's topic for today is...

[The affirmative]

For youth, reality comes before ideals.

[The first speaker]

[The negative]

The negative side's topic is...

For youth, ideals comes before reality.

[First speaker]

First, let's welcome the first speaker of the affirmative.

Host, judges and classmates,

good evening.

Our topic is

for youth, reality comes before ideals.

First, we must define

what youth is.

I used to think 18 is youth.

But in reality, the modern society,

youth is before 30,

or even before 40.

That means, youth is not confined solely to the campus,

it also exists within society.

Of course we can talk about ideals in campus.

But in society,

reality is more important than ideals.

Thank you.

Next, let's welcome the first speaker of the negative.

Host, judges,

classmates, good evening.

Our topic is

for youth, ideals are more important than reality.

First, we think

the affirmative has confused the concept

of psychological youth with physical youth.

A 40-year-old man,

we can say that he is a psychologically young man.

But he no longer has youth.

What is youth?

Youth is campus.

So we, who are still in campus,

should let our ideals go first.

OK.

Now let's welcome the second speaker of the affirmative.

The affirmative.

We think deals comes before reality

is because...

So we think

youth can't be defined.

They came.

Just like a book,

it is the front and back cover that completes it.

The true essence of ideals

lies in laughter, hard work,

and happiness.

But in our lives,

we are confronted with more confusion, frustration,

and tears.

So I think this is also youth.

As our second debater said,

life is not perfect,

but it's complete.

So complete is perfect.

For youth,

ideals are like buildings,

reality is like a foundation.

But no matter how imperfect the foundation is,

it's still a foundation.

Good!

Host,

Lin Yicheng and I

are the second and third speaker of the affirmative side.

I request to substitute the reserve team members.

I agree.

No.

You were ten minutes late.

This is against the rules.

I'd like to show teachers a video.

Daughter!

Are you alright?

Wake up!

Hello, 120.

I hit someone.

Where?

Are you okay?

I don't know. Just come here.

Come here!

Save my daughter first.

Little girl.

Little girl.

Hurry up!

Daughter!

Little girl!

Daughter!

They were acting bravely in the face of danger.

They were helping others.

No wonder.

Otherwise, it wouldn't take so long.

Look.

This is Lin Yicheng from our school.

Here.

Not bad, right?

Slowly.

In this case,

substituting is acceptable.

Okay.

Our guests agree that

these two students can substitute them.

Because we have always hoped

for some innovation

in this year's tenth anniversary friendly match

between our two schools.

What you did

is good.

The opposing debater has said that

laughter and tears are both youth.

That's true.

But we should understand

tears are the way to laughter.

Confusion is the way to work hard.

So, reality is the way of ideals.

We must put ideals before reality.

The opposing debater mentioned ways,

which also proves our point of view.

Ways are like foundations.

The third speaker has just said

we can't build a building without the foundation.

It's like without the sail of reality,

the boat of ideals cannot set sail.

The opposing debater compares reality to sail.

This actually proves our point of view.

The sail is the reality.

The ocean is the direction.

If there is no direction,

why do we build a boat?

We need a boat

before we can think of setting sail.

Learning how to build a boat is the first step

towards embarking on a long journey.

We not only need to learn how to build a boat,

but also need to learn how to use a compass,

how to navigate through storms,

as these are all realities.

Without these practical skills,

how can we ride the wind and cleave the waves,

and set sail to cross the sea?

The debate today was a success.

Yes.

We won the bonus.

So I brought my friends here to have a meal.

Introduce your friends to me.

This is Chen Tao,

my best friend from middle school to high school.

He's not from our school.

But he graduated one year earlier than us.

It's the first time we meet.

Bottoms up.

It's okay, it's okay.

Just like that?

Is that okay?

It's okay.

You really can drink.

Li Wenkai.

Xuan,

you must be familiar with him.

I know Kai.

He always supports my business.

He comes here many times a month,

with different girls every time.

Xuan, I have a new friend here.

This is Wang Ran,

my classmate from the Media Department,

is also the partner of today's debate.

The best debater.

Hello, Xuan.

You are Wang Ran?

What a beautiful girl.

Thank you, Xuan.

I've heard of you, Wang Ran.

You’re the beauty of the Media Department.

Don’t, Mr. Li.

I have also heard about you.

You're always chasing after your junior girls.

As the saying goes,

when you first meet Wenkai in Xicheng University,

he will ruin your life.

It's a false reputation.

Let me introduce her to you.

Liu Ke, my roommate and best friend.

A little foodie.

Hello, everyone,

I'm Liu Ke.

Cheng is my little brother.

Your friends are also my friends.

Here, a toast to everyone.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Come often after graduation.

Eat up.

It's fate that

has brought us together here.

I have a suggestion.

Let's gather here every year,

OK?

Sure.

Okay.

That being the case,

I hereby announce

that our Shikeya team

is officially formed today!

Let's take a photo.

Let me take one for you five.

Here.

Okay.

Okay.

Look at me.

Three, two, one.

Cheese!
