First love is not a little thing
Cao Xilang
Is first love truly worth trying? This is the first question popped into my mind after I watched the recently popular Thai movie First love is a little thing which triggered a hot debate on the Internet.
The movie mainly talks about a girl named Shui who felt a crush on her senior called Liang at the first sight and her untiring pursuit for the relationship. Shui is a quite normal girl with plain test results, poor sports talent, and the even worse thing is that she is only an ordinary-looking girl. How could she compete with those outstanding babes for Liang? Liang, on the other hand, is a gorgeous guy who is popular, member of the school soccer team and incredibly good-looking. Instead of only drifting into day dreaming, Shui did many silly little things in order to attract Liang’s attention. In addition, she also made up her mind to improve her study and get herself to participate into more social activities in the hope that she could be a shining girl who would be well-matched for Liang. On the day of her graduation, she finally told Liang about her secret love and admiration for him. However, life does not often turn out the way we think it will, and Liang was admitted to a professional soccer club so that the chance to develop their relationship is out of their hand, but it is up to the fate to decide. Time flies, and nine years has passed. When they came across as adults, the feeling for each other was still there. Luckily, the movie has a fairy tale ending.
After watching the movie, I really admire the courage of Shui and her indomitable spirit from the bottom of my heart. In the process of forming her self-identity, she rises every time after falling down. I am sort of wondering whether I could be that brave to love a person without hesitating, especially when I am too plain to be easily ignored. Frankly speaking, it is like begging for the moon. However, it is said that the biggest fear is the fear itself, and as long as we convince ourselves, nothing can bring us down. This principle can be applied to not only love, but also every difficult obstacle in daily life.
Apart from the courage issue, I also doubt that is first love worth that lot effort? First love is like a glass of wine, one may become drunk in it so that he or she cannot help but feel head over heels for the other person, and the relationship usually ends up with broken hearts. Maybe that is why many people regard first love as a waste of time. Undoubtedly, in real life, many people just spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. However, one can only be young once, and one should step out to have a try when first love comes.
As for the first love issue, I really think it is an unforgettable memory according to my friends and even my mom. Sometimes, she talked about her old love story which happened, like more than twenty years ago. From her expression, I can image her myriad of emotions raging from excitement to sadness when she was in a relationship, and I finally understand that she used to be an eighteen-year-old girl with the same hopes and doubts that I had. If the beautiful memory can last for so many years, it is worth a try.
The movie—First love is a little thing almost brought me to tears due to its emotional tensions. First love is not a little thing.
First love is not a little thing; love is never a little thing.
ReplyDeleteLove is not a thing; love is love.
As for the first love, we really should try, bravely. "If the beautiful memory can last for so many years, it worth a try." If love is true love, it worth a try.
Wish you, everybody, meet your first love. (If you already had, wish you second, third...love)

First Love is certainly not a little thing, because even a plain girl can be brave while facing her beloved someone. When we grow up, we may think about people we have loved, and we will find that they make us us. Hope you be brave to chase the one.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I'm the most experienced among you all in such matters. There's always a first time, so how can a first love be a waste of time? You have to start somewhere. And you're absolutely right about one's greatest fear being fear itself. Don't be afraid to express your feelings, provided you do it discreetly and tastefully. If the feelings are mutual, all is well! If the other party doesn't feel the same way about you, all you lose is a little bit of face and a lot of tears, but then you can pick yourself up, move on with life and look elsewhere. The worst that could happen is when the feelings are mutual but both were afraid to express themselves, till it's too late. That could lead to a lifetime of regret. Someone once said, "It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." How true that is!

ReplyDeleteYou know what, they say that all the boys who watched this movie would think of his first GF, while girls would always think of Aliang...
Especially when I saw the words" you already succeed at the very begining", I cant help admiring them.
Wish you have a wonderful and exciting first love~

ReplyDeletemany girls including you said that they were brought into tears by this movie. I agree that I was moved at that time when Shui looking the album of their memory, but, we all should not forget that the first time that Liang began to keep an eye on Shui was the time when Shui played the pricess in the drama! and even after he knew that Shui admired him for a long time, he did not refused his classmate, a beautiful girl , and started a relationship with her!
movies is only movies.

ReplyDeleteI found it really worth trying as it to some extents help you lose weight. :p just kidding~
But it did help you become a better one, as you want to grow into someone who can stand well matched beside him or her. I admire the movie not because of the beautiful leading roles, but of their growth, from immature to experienced. First love teaches you how to grow and may leave you the best memory forever~
