“Aqueles que estiveram em nossas vidas vão fazer parte das nossas almas para sempre.”
Romance colegial é meu gênero preferido da teledramaturgia chinesa. Os chineses sabem trazer a beleza e o sofrimento de crescer e aliar isso a uma nostalgia que escapa pela tela.Pela primeira vez, eu senti que um colegial trouxe mais do que uma homenagem à juventude. Ele trouxe uma homenagem à vida; às pessoas que cruzaram e ainda vão cruzar nosso caminho; aos nossos erros; às nossas expectativas que são, em sua maioria, frustradas; à vida adulta, que mesmo diferente do idealizado, pode ser boa.
Os personagens são banais, humanos, apenas pessoas comuns tentando viver suas vidas. Aceitar que somos todos assim pode ser difícil.
A mensagem do Song Cong pra ele mesmo ao assistir sua versão mais nova me tirou lágrimas: “Pra mim, crescer significa aceitar que sou comum e simples. Sinto muito por ter falhado com a pessoa maravilhosa que você era. Eu sofri com isso. No entanto, finalmente estou pronto para me despedir de você. Tenho muita sorte de ter te conhecido. Deixe o resto da sua vida comigo, vou seguir o resto do caminho por você.”
Estou muito feliz por ter encontrado uma obra DE tamanha sensibilidade. Esse tipo de história que me abraça, me entende e me ajuda a entender que cada um tem sua própria velocidade na vida me deixa confortada por saber que não sou a única pessoa que tenta acertar todos os dias, quase sempre aos tropeços.
“Brinque na máquina de pelúcia quando tiver tempo. Vai ter uma surpresa de vez em quando.”
Viva, continue firme! Não é sempre que dará tudo certo, mas no dia que acontecer, vai ser lindo.

At the heart of Flower Street: People
Growing up alongside the Flower Street kids and witnessing life’s hardships through their parents’ eyes, while the children remained so unaware of how difficult life could be, was such a beautiful and moving journey.Every single character is so vivid; they act and feel so real it’s almost unsettling. The entire cast did a wonderful job.
Northward brings to the screen the happiness, sorrow, struggles, and love of ordinary people. We are not perfect, and neither are any of the characters here.
The canal is an essential part of their childhood and teenage years, while Beijing’s chaos and skyscrapers become the backdrop of their adult days.
Northward isn’t always pleasant to watch, especially when it comes to our main lead, Xie Wanghe. Seeing him pursue his dreams while slowly losing his humanity is infuriating at times, but still painfully real.
Amid our desire to succeed at all costs, we inevitably lose a part of ourselves along the way.
An excellent drama, worthy of so many more words — and still, none would ever be enough.

A realistic take on life, poverty and relationships.
The complexity of the story and the characters can sometimes be too much for some people, but I found it amazing and compelling.Through the 26 episodes we met Dai Daji and Zhou Shui, but do we really know them?
I’d say it’s the same as knowing people for a long time, we may know a lot about them, but what really makes them take some decision or act a certain way, we’ll never know.
Their relationship is raw, at times toxic, but they’re two flawed people trying to make it work through poverty while relying on their dreams and love in a promising city, Beijing. China’s capital plays a major role here.
I wouldn’t say this series is exactly beautiful because it isn’t. It’s so real it makes you wonder which of your decisions would’ve lead you somewhere else. Somewhere the life you planned and believed it was possible while you were young would have really happened.
