Before the crossing, Lin Beixing was a person whose life and work were relatively sluggish. In life, her beloved fiancé cheated on her best friend before marriage, which undoubtedly hit her hard. At work, she is always late, her attitude towards work seems to be more casual, and she is only good at the easy position of playing dolls in the zoo. Her life seems to have been stuck in a state of idleness, and she seems to have no other pursuits and goals other than fantasies about love.
Years of life experience have not allowed Lin Beixing to grow, and her mind and ability seem to have stayed in high school. In the year she traveled back to her senior year of high school, she behaved more like a real high school student than an adult who had graduated for many years. Many viewers questioned her post-time growth performance because of this, but in fact, this is what the writers and actors wanted to present. Lin Beixing's life before the crossing was the result of her years of not really facing and solving life problems. She has been immersed in her own fantasies, seeing Zhanyu as her own salvation, but neglecting self-growth and improvement. This state of self-lost and chaotic life has only made her grow older in these years, but her mind and ability have not been improved as they should be.
Lin Beixing traveled back to the first year of high school
In the last crossing, Lin Beixing realized the true meaning of "letting go". She thought that this was the last chance to save Zhang Wansen, and thought that returning to the first year of high school would give her more time to perfectly prevent all unfortunate things from happening. However, the disturbance of parallel time and space made everything chaotic, and many things happened in advance, making it impossible for her to spend time with Zhang Wansen leisurely. In this time and space, Lin Beixing mainly did two things: one was to prevent Zhang Wansen from saying "I like you", she deliberately alienated him, hoping to make him hate herself;The second is to stop his brother from selling counterfeit goods and borrowing from loan sharks. However, neither of these things worked out. At the moment when Zhang Wansen invited her to the concert, she may have known that he wanted to express her heart, so she hurt him ruthlessly. Although it didn't matter whether Zhang Wansen found that diary or not, he had silently guarded her for so many years and would not give up easily. Even if he finds the diary, he will pretend to be hurt by her and then continue to silently protect her. Lin Dahai's story is also a profound cautionary tale. Lin Dahai was addicted to the dream of making a fortune and couldn't extricate himself. Although Lin Beixing has a "plug-in" that crosses, she tried her best to persuade her, reveal the truth to her neighbors, inform her parents and report to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and even follow Lin Dahai to sabotage when he went to borrow usury, but she couldn't awaken his consciousness. It wasn't until a loan shark came to collect debts and his sister was injured that he woke up from a dream. In normal time and space, it was the tragedy of Zhang Wansen's fall from the tower that woke him up. People often struggle to extricate themselves from illusions, even if they are persuaded by family and friends, only the lesson of blood can make people wake up. Lin Beixing always thought that the meaning of time travel was to save Zhang Wansen, so she worked hard to continue the time and space where Zhang Wansen lived, and even considered giving up the normal life of time and space. However, the significance of the crossing is not only to save Zhang Wansen, this crossing is actually "for her", so Zhang Wansen is always one step ahead of her. He said "I like you" with love and regret when he fell, and said "I like you" gently when she returned to normal life, these are all extra steps he took for her. Therefore, Lin Beixing's "sorry" to Zhang Wansen at the airport is, I think, on the one hand, because she apologized for Zhang Wansen's underestimation of her love and protection for her;On the other hand, it was also because she understood the fact that she would never be able to save Zhang Wansen. This journey has taught her to let go of the past, cherish the present and embrace the future, and it has also allowed her to truly grow and heal her soul. Lin Beixing traveled back to the third year of high school
The year of traveling back to the third year of high school completely changed Lin Beixing. In this crossing, she is no longer willing to be Zhanyu's "little shadow" because of Zhanyu and Han Tengteng's affairs, and she will no longer be friends with Han Tengteng. At this time, Yang Chaoyang, who was at the same table, said that she had changed, but in fact, she only changed the behavior line of no longer chasing Zhanyu, she was still herself in high school, but she mistakenly thought that Zhang Wansen was the key to leave her in this parallel time and space, and if she protected Zhang Wansen, she could continue this new life, so she shifted her attention to Zhang Wansen. pestered Zhang Wansen on the grounds of make-up classes (in essence, protection). Gradually, she found that she was not as stupid as she imagined, as long as she concentrated on studying, her learning progress could easily exceed her 80 points higher than the monthly exam Zhanyu, and finally she could get a college entrance examination score that she never dreamed of through her own efforts (instead of memorizing answers), even if the college entrance examination paper becomes a three-mode test paper, she can still go to the university of her dreams and study the major she wants to study. There is never only Zhanyu by her side, Zhang Wansen gave her gentle and warm love and companionship to make her understand that she is worthy of love, Gao Ge, Yang Chaoyang and her friendship also made her find that she was someone to talk to, even Maizi, who didn't seem to be very friendly, would actually be really good to her and Zhang Wansen. She realized the beauty of youth and found the meaning of hard work, so as to find "herself".
In this time travel, she experienced a deep emotional awakening. She no longer relies too much on Zhanyu, which makes Zhanyu feel a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually, he begins to pay more attention to her and discover her unique charm. In the end, he was obsessed with her as if he was obsessed with her in normal time and space, and he had strong feelings for Lin Beixing. For her sake, he even threatened her in extreme ways such as jumping into the river and avoiding training and exams. At the same time, Zhanyu is willing to spend the entire summer vacation learning to swim for her. After Lin Beixing witnessed all this, he suddenly realized. She realized that in normal time and space, the fundamental reason why her relationship with Zhanyu failed was that they were only "incompatible" on the surface, and they did not really love each other in their hearts. She has always been obsessed with Zhanyu, but in fact, all she loves is the image of her imaginary life-saving benefactor. A misunderstanding blinded her so easily, and she never went to verify it.
Zhanyu is in the same situation as her. He always thought that Lin Beixing liked him because of his handsome appearance and excellent basketball skills. The two have been in love for many years, but they have never asked each other why they really like them. Not being able to swim has also become evidence that the two are not truly in love. In normal time and space, Lin Beixing longs for an underwater wedding, but Zhanyu can't swim and doesn't want to learn. It seems that it was not until that moment that Lin Beixing knew that Zhanyu could not swim. In parallel time and space, Zhanyu learned to swim in order to pursue Lin Beixing, but he never asked her why she wanted him to learn to swim, and whether learning to swim meant that they could be together. Lin Beixing realized that in normal time and space, she loved so much that she lost herself, and what she loved was Zhanyu in her heart, not the real him. Her dedication only touched herself, and Zhanyu felt that something was wrong, so he chose to leave and looked for Han Teng Teng, who seemed to love him deeply. However, Han Teng Teng also does not love the real Zhanyu. In parallel time and space, Zhanyu also loved so much that he lost himself, he loved Lin Beixing with a filter, and he didn't grasp her point at all. After Lin Beixing saw through all this, he told Zhanyu earnestly that he must first learn self-love in order to win the love of others.
In the ending, Lin Beixing found his heart, clarified the direction of progress, understood the value of hard work, and learned to let go. She used the creativity of the Stray Animal Rescue Team to inject new vitality into the zoo and became a highly praised outstanding alumni representative in the community. At the same time, she also realized her dream, with the love and regret of the male protagonist, she resolutely devoted herself to the cause of borderless veterinary medicine, incarnated as that dazzling star.
From the point of view of love, this is a sad ending, because the gentle knight will eventually be gone. However, from the perspective of Lin Beixing's growth, even if she is the only one who retains the memory of parallel time and space, she has truly felt the enthusiasm of youth, and has successfully saved herself in countless times of travel and become a better individual.
In this story, Lin Beixing uses her courage and persistence to interpret the pain and joy of growing up. Even in the face of the dilemma of reality and the loss of love, she is still determined to move towards her dream. Her story tells us that no matter how many setbacks we encounter, as long as we face them bravely and work hard, we will eventually find our own starry sky.
