Never losing memories
用视频记录最真实的高中三年热血时光
“I want my video to record my most authentic high school memory and that of everyone in China who has gone through gaokao,”
“我希望用视频记录下自己最真实的高中记忆,这也是每一个经历过高考的中国人的记忆。”
said Lian Yingcheng, 20, a student from Shenzhen University.
来自深圳大学的20岁学子连英成说:
The 18-minute vlog of his three-year high school life got over 1 million views on Bilibili.
他拍摄了一段长达18分钟的视频日志,记录了自己三年的高中生活,视频在哔哩哔哩网站收获100多万播放量。
However, Lian said that he didn’t expect this video to go viral at all when he was making it.
然而,连英成表示,在拍摄时根本没想到视频会火。
“I have loved using videos to record my life for a long time and post vlogs from time to time on my Bilibili channel ‘Mark_Lian’,” Lian said.
“很长一段时间以来,我都喜欢用视频记录生活,我会时不时地在自己的哔哩哔哩频道‘Mark_Lian’上发布视频日志。” 连英成说,
“The idea of this long vlog has been in my mind since I started high school.”
“从上高中起,我就有了拍摄这个长日志的想法。”
Throughout the three years of high school life, Lian’s camera went everywhere.
高中这三年,连英成用相机记录下一切。
No matter if it was a tug-of-war activity, before a big exam,
无论是拔河比赛、大考之前,
or simply just a Tuesday noon when everyone was running toward the canteen,
或仅仅是某个周二中午,大家向食堂狂奔,
Lian was always there to capture the reactions of him and his classmates.
他总能捕捉到自己和同学们的反应,
“I didn’t want to deliberately design any scene,” he said.
连英成说,“我不想刻意设计任何场景。”
That’s why his video is more like a documentary.
他的视频也因此更像一部纪录片。
With Lian’s narration in the background, the video tells the story of an ordinary high school boy who struggles to fight gaokao,
连英成以自己的旁白为背景,用视频讲述了一个普通高中男孩为高考奋斗的故事,
constantly questioning himself and rebuilding his confidence.
他不断地质疑自己又重拾自信,
The friendship between him and his classmates,
与同学结下牢固的友谊,
the resilience through difficulties and his broad outlook after failure are all reflected in the scenes and his vivid words.
他坚忍不拔地克服重重困难,也在失意后放宽了视野……这些都呈现在视频的场景和生动的文字中。
“The original idea in my mind was to tell an inspirational, encouraging story of gaokao,
“我最初想讲一个鼓舞人心的高考故事,
but then my gaokao result didn’t turn out that well.
但后来我的高考成绩并不是很理想。
After dealing with the pain,
体味过痛苦后,
I realized that accepting failure and regrets is a more important lesson to learn than ‘getting my wish’,” Lian said.
我明白了接受失败和悔恨,是比‘实现愿望’更重要的一课。”
People in the comment section expressed how much they could relate to the delicate emotions in the video.
网友们涌入评论区,留言称连英成的视频蕴含着微妙的情感,引起了大家的共鸣。
Some said that Lian did something they couldn’t do.
有人说,连英成做了他们没做到的事。
“I realized that this means more than just recording my life and thoughts,” Lian said.
“我意识到这个视频不仅记录了我的生活和想法,”连英成说,
“I want to keep on running this channel, to touch and warm more people in the future.”
“我想继续运营这个频道,将来为更多的人带去感动和温暖。”
