Have you ever loved someone?

I am full of joy when I think about it; I am satisfied when I see it. Unfortunately, the fate is too shallow, but we can't be together as we wish?

Good love, even if it doesn't grow old together, is also a beam of light that illuminates the years, and it is still warm enough to remember after many years.

Just like Jing Qiu, the heroine of the movie Love under Hawthorn Tree 10 years ago, the movie is adapted from Amy's novel of the same name, and there is a true story behind it.

This story has a strong background of the times. Jingqiu was born in a family whose father was classified as a rightist. In the high-pressure social environment, Jing Qiu is cautious in everything and becomes somewhat inferior. The third child is a cheerful and optimistic handsome young man with fair and delicate skin. He was born in a military family in Gao Qian, and his father was a military commander.

1974, Jingqiu, a female student in high school, was sent to Xicunping to interview villagers, learn about the village history and compile it into teaching materials.

The village chief returned to Xicunping with this group of young people from the city. When he stopped by a hawthorn tree, he told the story of the hawthorn tree and the sacrifice of the martyrs. This tree used to have white flowers, and then red flowers were like soldiers' blood.

The students quickly took out their pens and notebooks and tried to record. "Quiet Autumn" is no exception, and I hope it can be compiled into teaching materials as a village history.

It's just that she doesn't know that her lover will sleep under this hawthorn tree.

After being assigned to the village head's house, the village head's wife asked Jingqiu and her granddaughter to go to the exploration team to call "three dads" for dinner. Huanhuan led the exploration team to the distance in the clear autumn. The evening breeze was blowing gently, and melodious songs came from the tent of the exploration team. It was the Soviet song Hawthorn Tree.

After a while, a man in a dark blue knee-length cotton-padded coat walked out of the tent with Huanhuan, who blocked his face. When she walked up to him and let go of Huanhuan, Jingqiu saw the man clearly.

She was in a bit of a panic, like a deer bumping around, her hands kept fiddling with her skirts, and she didn't know where it was. On the way back to the village head's house for dinner, she and her third son walked in tandem on the path, and Jingqiu was a little shy.

Later, I learned that the man's name was Sun Jianxin, and he was a member of the expedition. My aunt regards him as her son and calls him "the third child". The song Hawthorn Tree from the tent shows him playing the accordion.

At first sight, my heart was broken.

Since then, Lao San has often come to his aunt's house for dinner. He wants to see Jingqiu who stayed at the village head's house.

Seeing Jingqiu writing village history materials on her desk, she will praise Jingqiu for his good writing style; I noticed that Jingqiu's pen was broken and her hands were stained with ink. Considering Jingqiu's self-esteem, she asked for a new one to replace the old one, calling it saving ink for the revolution.

Worried about the cost of writing materials, Lao San specially changed Jingqiu into a new light bulb. ...

Jingqiu's teacher asked her to go back to school to rehearse the revolutionary program. She has an appointment with her third child. When she returns to Xicunping after rehearsing the program, Lao San will wait for her at the county station.

Although the Jingqiu family lives in the city, their family composition is not good and they are always bullied. The whole family huddled in a small room full of envelope paper, and most of the tables and stools at home were left over from school. My mother lives on the meager salary of school and occasionally sends some money to her brother who works in the countryside. The whole family subsidized their families by pasting envelopes.

My mother always tells her to be careful and work hard. If you make a mistake in life, don't "make a mistake again and regret it for life."

The third child's considerate concern for Jingqiu undoubtedly made Jingqiu feel unprecedented warmth. As soon as she got off the bus after rehearsing the program, Jingqiu was anxiously looking for the third child at the station. Because the bus arrived in the county late, it was dusk, and she was worried that the third child might have left.

He stood under the street lamp, as if waiting for a long time.

"I'm afraid you can't come back, and I'm afraid something will happen to you on the road."

Old three took off his coat and put it on for Jingqiu. Passing by the farmer, Lao San found a family to rest and eat. Under the dim kerosene lamp, the two sat opposite each other. The third child keeps picking vegetables in Jingqiu's bowl, which is better than the young newlyweds.

After dinner, I continued on my way. When I cross mountains and rivers, I always remember my mother's words carefully. I dare not "make mistakes" and refuse to hold hands. They all crossed the river with one end of a stick.

The arrival of love, let this self-abased and sad girl slowly open her heart. Good love will make people look better. A good lover is also the navigation of the ideal sail in love.

Jingqiu is often afraid that her mother knows that she is in love, and that love will affect her graduation work and future. The third child always respects Jingqiu's idea and lovingly cares for it, waiting for Jingqiu to grow up.

He never asked Jingqiu to be perfect, but quietly helped Jingqiu in life and helped her solve the problem.

Old three will stay in Jingqiu on the way to work to help Jingqiu pull the cart;

Jingqiu didn't have a school uniform when playing on the school team, and the third one gave her a new school uniform to participate in the competition;

I found Jingqiu burned by cement, so I quickly bought her boots.

Knowing that Jingqiu's mother was ill and needed walnuts, she quietly asked the village chief's children to help send money and walnuts.

In order to see Jingqiu, Lao San always changed the night shift with the second team of the exploration team and proposed time to go to the city to see Jingqiu. He just looked at her from a distance and talked when no one was around.

Quietly probe into the inside story for Jingqiu, so that she can have the opportunity to stay in school as a teacher as a mother instead of going to the countryside as an educated youth. ...

When her mother found out that Jingqiu was in love, Lao San also agreed to Jingqiu's mother's request, saying, "I can wait, wait for her to graduate, wait for her to work, wait for her to be 25 years old ..."

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm fascinated by it. The third child's love for Jingqiu can stand the waiting time.

In the pavilion by the river, the third child hugged Jingqiu in a military coat and said, "You may not have loved, so you don't believe that there is eternal love in the world. When you fall in love with someone, you will know that there is such a person in this world who would rather die than break his word to you. "

In the quiet autumn youth, she loved, and her first love was the third child. Although her love seems clumsy and green under the pressure of social environment, she is also responding to the love of the third child with her heart.

Jing Qiu, who felt inferior, began to pay attention to dressing up and taking her third child to the meeting, although she was dressed very simply; She will carefully select silk thread, weave a small goldfish on the key chain and give it to her beloved, full of tenderness.

Jingqiu began to become confident and dare to express her thoughts, which could not be separated from the tolerance and care of the third child.

In the process of falling in love with the third child, Jingqiu also doubted the persuasion of the other party, especially the people around her. After breaking up with her boyfriend, my girlfriend who came back from the countryside was forced to go to the hospital for abortion surgery, telling her that men were hot for a while and their feelings were unreliable.

Mom also told her: People who talk all their lives are the most unreliable, maybe it's just a moment's warmth. "

Later, the third child got leukemia and began to hide it from Jingqiu. He understands Jingqiu's love for him, and he doesn't want Jingqiu to be unhappy and have a bad life after she leaves.

Knowing that Jingqiu secretly asked for leave to visit her mother, Sanzi lied that it was just a routine physical examination of the exploration team, not leukemia.

Seeing that Jingqiu insisted on not leaving, Lao San took care of him and borrowed the dormitory from the nurse on duty in the hospital to let Jingqiu rest. He took Jingqiu to buy daily necessities, called hot water, and specially bought a washbasin with hawthorn fruit flowers, and made Jingqiu laugh with "magic" when washing her feet.

Looking at such an understanding third child, Jingqiu sighed with emotion: "It's good to know you."

I walked through the vast expanse alone, and only when I walked with you did I have light.

Recalling the care for the third child, Jingqiu began to give her heart to the lover in front of her. She really felt the love of her third child.

He was lying in bed with his third son, who whispered in her ear, "You live, I live, you die, and I really die." You got it? "Said the tears stream in the corner of my eye.

Goodbye, old three, it's time to die.

Jingqiu was taken to the hospital by a military vehicle. The father of the third child said, "I know my son is waiting for you." Go and say goodbye to him. "

The third child in the hospital bed was white and bloodless, black and blue, and he couldn't recognize that he was the cheerful and sunny boy in the past. Jingqiu burst into tears and cried "I am Jingqiu".

The third child once told Jingqiu that even if he stepped into the grave with one foot, he would come back barefoot as long as he heard Jingqiu call him.

The third child looked at the only photo of the two, full of youth and a bright smile. Tears flowed from the corner of his eyes and he closed his eyes.

The third child left. According to his will, the body was cremated and buried under the hawthorn tree. The father of the third child said to Jingqiu, "He insisted on being buried here, and we were all far away, so we entrusted him to you."

Before his death, the third son put his diary, letters and photos written to Jingqiu in a military bag and entrusted them to his younger brother, saying: If Jingqiu is happy, don't give them to her; If love is not smooth, or marriage is not happy, give these things to her, let her know that someone in this world once loved her wholeheartedly, and let her believe that there is eternal love in the world. "

Every May, Jingqiu takes her third child to see hawthorn flowers under that hawthorn tree.

Good love is a beam of light that can penetrate the years and illuminate the road ahead.

Ten years later, Jing Qiu was admitted to the English Department of X University to study for a master's degree.

Twenty years later, Jing Qiu traveled across the ocean to study for a doctorate in the United States.

Thirty years later, Jingqiu has been teaching in an American university.

After that, she will take her daughter back to China, return to the hawthorn tree and visit her third child.

She would say to her daughter, "Here lies the person I love."
