Times Youth League 's third anniversary music sharing session opened with the song "Endless Adventure". The boy in white, the flying ribbons, and the lyrics "colliding with transformation to create a perfect combination that cannot be separated" suddenly drag the memories back to three years ago.

On November 23, 2019, the "Times Youth League" composed of seven teenagers, Ma Jiaqi, Ding Chengxin, Song Yaxuan, Liu Yaowen, Zhang Zhenyuan, Yan Haoxiang, and He Junlin, appeared in front of the public with this song "Endless Adventure". The English name of the combination is "Teens in Times", abbreviated as "TNT", which is the same abbreviation as the name of high-power explosives. From the very beginning, this name has been entrusted with the beautiful meaning of the teenagers being full of firepower.
Ma Jiaqi is the captain of the Times Youth League. In previous documentaries and this interview, he mentioned that the captain is "a needle threaded through thread", threading everyone together like beads. "We are a group of people who work hard for a common goal and a common dream. We are together."

Three years, 1096 days, the fleetingness of time is more vividly reflected in the growing teenager. In the past three years, the seven members have faced many crucial choices.They have come face to face with the extreme sooner or later, and have tasted the complexity of life either deeply or shallowly.
members said in an interview that many moments of Times Youth League in the past three years are vivid in their minds. "When we stand on the podium, when we celebrate New Year's Eve together, when we celebrate each other's birthdays... and every time we stand on the stage, every performance is deeply impressive. We clearly remember what kind of stage we performed and what kind of feelings we had at that moment."

Looking back on the past three years, this group of teenagers named "Era", together with the public, have experienced an era full of uncertainty and rapid changes. In these three years, people have bid farewell to certainty and familiarity time and time again, actively or passively, and turned to virtuality and unknown. The concert moved from offline to online, and screams and applause turned into likes and comments. Whether it is the physical world or the online virtual space, the unpredictability of the future continues. But witnessing the existence and growth of the seven teenagers seems to be fighting against this uncertainty in a stable and realistic way. In a complex world, how do young people face their true selves? Each member used their own small and full individual feelings to hand in their own answer sheet.

Sloths, bats and dogs are the objects chosen by Ma Jiaqi to imitate in the animal simulation training of the freshman professional course of Chinese Opera Performance Department. With a bit of pride, he also explained: "The dog I played is still a dog that relies on human power."
Talking about the beginning of his college life, the boy was obviously excited. After the animal simulation, there is the human simulation. Ma Jiaqi first imitated a "less distinctive" old man, and then imitated a takeaway boy.
The south gate of Zhongxi is where students get takeout every day. Ma Jiaqi noticed that the same takeaways have completely different personalities. Some delivery workers have loud voices, short tempers, and are ready to leave at any time, while some never take their eyes away from the small screen... In a moment, Ma Jiaqi observes their every move and speculates on their inner state in every action.
He enjoys the process of observation.When he was younger, he once said in an interview that one of his dreams was to be a convenience store clerk - this is probably one of the professions where it is easiest to see all kinds of things in life.
"I will guess what he is thinking. If it is very necessary, I will even run to ask people directly what they are thinking." Before going to college, this kind of curiosity and questioning was not purposeful, and there was not even much clear direction. "If you know it, you know it."
But for Ma Jiaqi, a student in the performance department, "knowing" is not the end of the action. In order to complete the character imitation homework, he found a deliveryman and negotiated with him to rent his electric car for a day, and then moved the car into the school and into the acting classroom - this was a "crazy" little thing that he could implement within his daily limits.

It is difficult to say whether Ma Jiaqi's curiosity led him to the class of the acting department, or whether his childhood experience cultivated his curiosity, or both. When he was 12 years old, he performed in the TV series "Happy Planet 5" and sang a song in the show " what is happy planet ". This was a childhood experience that we originally wanted to avoid, but unexpectedly Ma Jiaqi took the initiative to mention it.
The opportunity to bring it up again came from the question "What would you like to say to yourself ten years ago?" After some serious thinking, Ma Jiaqi came up with two sentences: "One sentence is that no matter how playful and unwilling to act in "Happy Planet 5" is, I still have to act, because without "Happy Planet 5", I probably wouldn't be here today; the other sentence is to play the piano to level ten."
However, fate is always one link on top of another. Before filming "Happy Planet 5", Ma Jiaqi passed level 6 in piano. The filming process lasted 9 months. There was no piano at the filming location, so the piano learning process was put on hold.
But this does not prevent playing the piano from becoming one of the things that makes Ma Jiaqi happiest. When he is alone, he likes to play the piano, with his fingers completely free and no music score in his mind. What can be compared with it in terms of happiness level is to buy a complete set of knives, prepare butter, garlic and rosemary , and fry yourself a filet of beef in the kitchen.

Looking back at himself, many of Ma Jiaqi’s life experiences carry too many expectations. There is a saying of "decisive moment" in photography. For Ma Jiaqi, his decisive moment occurred in the Chinese language examination room of the second college entrance examination. "I think the decisive moment should have two meanings. One meaning is that I decided where I was sitting at that moment; the other meaning is that this moment determines what I will be like a few days later, a month later or even this year." Now he can tell these past stories with a smile, but he has also been really wrapped up in pressure because of these expectations.
Piano and music are the entrance and the exit. Ma Jiaqi listens to a lot of songs, some of which he finds difficult to sing on stage, such as rock music , the most hardcore kind; some he wants to re-interpret, such as Lin Youjia 's " Want to Be Free ". Many years ago, Ma Jiaqi once sang a cover of this song, and he still listens to it from time to time.Ma Jiaqi felt that this song carried many emotions, allowing him to relate to it. "So I also hope that I can write such a work, which can 'poke' others."
When playing the piano, the melody that pops up may make Ma Jiaqi hum along and become a motivation or wedge for creation, but this is not important. Like frying steak, Ma Jiaqi enjoys playing the piano itself, which is a state close to freedom.
In " Soul Journey ", the male protagonist Joey will enter a selfless "flow" state when playing. Ma Jiaqi also had the feeling of "playing in" once or twice. "Some people say that the piano will be something that will accompany you throughout your life. It is true that only those who play it with their heart can understand that feeling."

There are many things that excite Ding Chengxin, and getting a driver's license must be on the list. After enrolling in the driving school for a long time, Ding Chengxin saw an opening and took the driver's license exam right away. "One of my dreams is definitely to drive in a car and hear the roaring sound of the engine."
Ding Chengxin's speech was direct and concise, with "must" and "affirmation" in three sentences. As the first person in the group to obtain a driver's license, Ding Chengxin knew he was receiving the envious looks of other members. "They must be envious of me! Haha."
In addition to learning to drive, another thing that excites him is arranging clips in the school's acting class. Ding Chengxin, a sophomore student from Nortel Department of Acting, , finds it particularly novel and fun every time she puts on a costume, tries a new role, and interprets a character that is different from her normal life. "It's a very enjoyable process. It feels like you have experienced other people's lives for a short time."
Once, they rehearsed a clip from the TV series "The World of People". In the Northeast in the late 1980s, young Zhou Nan was faced with a choice between his adoptive father Zhou Bingkun, who had raised him for more than ten years, and his biological father Luo Shibin, who came to meet him.
"When assigning roles, the teacher thought, aren't you Zhou Nan?" As the actor of Zhou Nan, the choices about the character's life were placed in front of Ding Chengxin, and he tried to understand the character's own choices. "My opinions cannot be imposed on the character. I still listen, feel, and see his character to see how he accepts it."

When asked whether Ding Chengxin had ever faced choices about the future from an ordinary child to the stage and the spotlight, Ding Chengxin shook his head. "It's not a choice, it's about accepting it step by step." At first, his father told him that there was an "interest class" for him, and he thought there wasn't much homework on the weekends, so he went to have some fun. Gradually, he felt that since he had accepted this new identity, he had to do this well, and then he felt the urge to step onto the stage. "Because as soon as I got on the stage, everyone was shouting 'Ding Chengxin', and I thought it was a very beautiful thing."
On the TF family Christmas Fantasy Night in 2016, 14-year-old Ding Chengxin wore a red tuxedo and sang a song called Magical Show. This stage impressed Ding Chengxin deeply. Looking back, Ding Chengxin felt that he had no sense of choice at that time and was a "get whatever you were given."Thinking about it more carefully, Ding Chengxin felt that in the initial period of time, he had the mentality of "playing the same" on the stage. "I just acted cool on the stage and that was it, but gradually it changed. Now I have more ideas, I want to play roles on the stage and interpret the pictures better."
Acting out the pictures in his mind on the stage is also one of the things that excites Ding Chengxin. The last time he felt this sense of accomplishment was when he sang "Fish" at the third anniversary concert. He clearly remembered the first time that picture appeared in his mind: alone in the dormitory, he was bored and turned on the play button while casually browsing other things. The sound of piano, cello and human voices brought him back from his thoughts. He felt as if he was standing by the window, with the setting sun filtering through and the afterglow hitting his face, giving him a furry feeling.

Ding Chengxin feels that he is not a sentimental person, but he is quite emotional when describing the pictures in his memory. Another scene in my memory appeared on the riverside in Chongqing. The young man couldn't help but tell others that at around 9 o'clock, he went to the riverside to relax alone and rode a bicycle against the river breeze for a while. The wind seemed to blow away his worries.
More pictures were entrusted to the future by Ding Chengxin: On the riverside, he and his father were fishing with one fishing rod each. "Every time when I call my dad, I say, 'Where is the old man?' He will say that he is fishing. Fishing in the morning and at night." The conversation with his father aroused Ding Chengxin's curiosity, so he included fishing in his hobby cultivation schedule. "I also want to experience the joy of fishing. When my dad gets old, I can also accompany him."

The most precious scene in Song Yaxuan’s memory happened in the summer of 2019. In preparation for the debut battle, 7 people trained together. Living in a dormitory, the daytime was filled with singing and dance classes. There were no mobile phones. At night, several boys chatted together and even went to the beach to watch the sunrise together.
"That's the time I miss the most."
After saying this, Song Yaxuan fell into the usual long silence. He is a type that is not common in the entertainment industry: he is slow to warm up, has a long reflex arc and , and occasionally gets distracted. If he is discovered by people around him, he will be brought back to his thoughts.
On the stage, Song Yaxuan has another look: his voice is empathetic, his movements are neat when singing and dancing, his eyes are sharp, and he has some "explosive" output. At the "Transformation Night" in the summer of 2019, he dressed in black and performed the folk song "Orchid Grass" written more than 40 years ago using rap and dance. "If I want to talk about an unforgettable stage, I think it is "Orchid Grass". I think it is very handsome, and it is indeed very handsome."

Freud traced the causes of human adult personality back to childhood. In Song Yaxuan's narration, his childhood was full of environmental changes again and again. From Shandong to Guangdong and then to Chongqing, at first he followed his parents' footsteps, and later his parents followed his footsteps. It always takes time to enter a new environment. For Song Yaxuan, it was as if there was a pair of warm hands from the outside world. The glass cover of his imagination was broken, and he was dragged into a more lively world.
After becoming a trainee, Song Yaxuan has experienced the difficulties and pains of practice: the dance moves that are difficult to remember, the facial expressions that can never relax... Looking back, the ups and downs on the stage and the ups and downs in life all happened simultaneously. While facing challenges on stage, he is also looking for security in life. Also in the process of constant searching and trying, Song Yaxuan discovered that every moment of confidence can bring more release, making herself more comfortable on the stage and in life.
After entering college, Song Yaxuan seemed to have overcome another hurdle. The students in the school have different personalities and have their own ways of adapting to the world. After years of repeated changes, Song Yaxuan's energy consumption in adapting to the new environment has become lower, she feels more secure, and she is more confident and self-consistent.
plays in . In order to go to the south gate to get takeout and save a lot of walking, he learned the balancing car . The greatest daily joy is attending classes with my classmates. On weekdays, classes and rehearsals were held in the building, and it was common for rehearsals to go until midnight. Song Yaxuan was too lazy to go back to the dormitory and wanted to live here. But there were always people urging me, and I was afraid of the dark, so I had no choice but to go back. So "living in Biao Dao Building" became an unattainable but lingering fantasy, staying in Song Yaxuan's mind.

There are many similar wild imaginations in his mind, most of which have no reason and no fulcrum for landing. Performance gave him room for more fugues. For character imitation exercises in acting class, he first imitated an assistant director. At a certain filming location, he noticed that the assistant director, who was pleasant to people, also had a harsh side at work. After handing in his homework, the teacher reminded him to break away from his work environment and try to find ordinary people in life.
The second time, he used "The Moving Master Who Loves Being Strong" as the title of his assignment, imitating the person he and Zhang Zhenyuan met by chance. The moving man spoke in Chongqing dialect and , but he refused to admit defeat even though he couldn't move the washing machine. Because of his experience of living in Chongqing, Song Yaxuan felt particularly close to him, so he took him as his model.
What made Song Yaxuan somewhat regretful was that when he returned to his homework, the teacher who asked him to find a more ordinary life did not come. But what made him happy was that this time the teacher saw his imitation and gave him a high evaluation. This was one of the most exciting moments for Song Yaxuan, who had just entered university. "That's what the teacher said." After a long pause and a long pause, Song Yaxuan finally imitated the teacher's affirmation: "It's remarkable."

His mother made a video call. After the call was answered, his 7-year-old brother appeared in the camera with a newly painted family portrait in his hand - this was one of the happiest moments for Liu Yaowen recently.
My younger brother likes to draw. The dog in his painting is a white Samoyed called "Potato" by Liu Yaowen. He also painted Liu Yaowen on the stage, and the artist and his family drove together on a self-driving trip, "painting us like hair dryers."
Being away from home, these paintings gave Liu Yaowen's longing a concrete picture. As an older brother, he always told his younger brother on the phone not to make adults angry at home and behave well, and he would bring him gifts when he got home.
Looking back, Liu Yaowen's growth process from a naughty child to a big boy who shared responsibilities with his brothers in the team included all kinds of moments.
In the fifth grade of elementary school, he was selected to join the TF family, and he trained day after day. "Because I stayed at the company for a long time, the time I spent with my family at home became much shorter. I thought, if I still make my mother angry when I go home, there is really no need." This was the moment when he realized that he was sensible.

After having his own stage, he heard his name being shouted by the people in the audience. The screams and applause from the audience seemed to break through the law of conservation of energy and turned into energy and strength in Liu Yaowen's body. He enjoyed this moment.
was about to form a group, and when training before his debut, he was even more sure that he liked the feeling of standing on the stage. "I want to treat this as my dream and walk towards it step by step." This was the moment Liu Yaowen realized his dream.
On November 28, 2020, the "Growing Up on Time" first anniversary online concert was held. The number of online viewers of the concert exceeded 12 million, which is equivalent to filling more than 900 Nanjing Olympic Sports Centers. However, Liu Yaowen's regret was that there was no audience sitting in the audience. After the concert, Liu Yaowen felt a little sad the moment he stepped out of the venue. "We have been preparing for so long, but there is no way for everyone to sit down and watch our performance."
It was a complicated moment that mixed happiness, regret and unwillingness. It also made 15-year-old Liu Yaowen realize that behind the moment when the dream he worked hard to realize comes true, reality is beautiful and rewarding, but it will appear in unexpected forms.
When preparing for the third anniversary stage, reality made another small joke with Liu Yaowen. While skipping rope to exercise his physical fitness, he stumbled and sprained his right foot. At that moment, Liu Yaowen's first reaction was "too bad". The doctor told him that the ligament was injured and it would take a month to recover. During the two most serious days, his brother had to push him in a wheelchair to move around. As the youngest member of the group, he is somewhat reluctant to be the "youngest" who receives special attention from everyone. "I still hope to be able to take responsibility with everyone."

From living and training together to other members going to college, Liu Yaowen experienced loneliness and more growth during this year. "Actually, in my world, if you want to ask if there is any moment that makes me feel that I have suddenly grown up, it doesn't seem to have happened. But I can notice that when I do everything, my views and perspectives are different from before. So I think these changes in views may be because I have grown up."
Some things do not seem to change with growth. For example, every year when I return home, I have a reunion dinner with my family, talk about the year's gains, the year's troubles, and tell them about the year's worries. This makes Liu Yaowen feel that he has finished his work for the year. "Then I need to look forward to next year."

There are two exams that Zhang Zhenyuan has never forgotten.
One was an English test in the second grade of junior high school. The full score was 150 points. He scored more than 120 points.When the test results came out, he took the initiative to go to the English teacher and apologize. "I said sorry to the teacher, I let you down."
The other one was the last day of the college entrance examination. After taking the physics test in the morning, Zhang Zhenyuan felt that he had not performed at his best. He had another English subject in the afternoon and wanted to take a nap at noon, even for ten minutes. But lying on the bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a moment.
Both exams occurred at subtle moments that determined Zhang Zhenyuan’s future direction.
In junior high school, Zhang Zhenyuan was the top English student in the class and the focus of the teacher's attention. Teachers, family members and Zhang Zhenyuan have different opinions on whether to study step by step or to go on stage. The teacher advised him to study hard. His mother had him learn painting, calligraphy, and piano since he was a child, and refused to let go of any of them. Seeing his son suffering from fingering practice, his father would advise him to "just forget it."
The choice is back to Zhang Zhenyuan. On one side is the stage dream that started in kindergarten, and on the other side is the teacher's expectation and self-expectation. He refuses to give up on both sides. Thinking about it now, when he was hesitating, the teacher had noticed the shift in his heart.
In high school, every step of debuting, choosing a major, and taking art exams was stressful. Whether to study music or performance was a difficult choice for Zhang Zhenyuan during his three years of high school. Finally, he entered the musical theater performance major of the Central Academy of Drama, which is like a two-pronged solution found in reality by patients with difficulty in choosing.

Zhang Zhenyuan likes the character Itachi in "Naruto", a person with handsome moves and style. "He makes me feel very elegant and comfortable." To a certain extent, the character's passionate and extreme acting style has influenced Zhang Zhenyuan in an internalized way. "I will suddenly become very passionate. When I do something, I must do it well, and I will do it to the extreme to do it the best."
When recording a sight-singing and ear-training video, if I can't sing a note accurately, I have to repeat it. A few hours later, Zhang Zhenyuan's video was recorded more than 50 times. "Sometimes you just have to compete with yourself."
is the same when facing the stage. Not long before the interview, he sang "Love Words" at the third anniversary music sharing event and was not particularly satisfied with his performance. "If I fail to do well in something I obviously can do well, I will feel very sorry and blame myself. Why don't I seize the opportunity?"

"Seize the opportunity" is a sentence that Zhang Zhenyuan keeps mentioning. Opportunities can be big or small. Answering homework in acting class is an opportunity, standing on the stage is an opportunity, and every time I submit a work is an opportunity. "I will definitely try my best to seize every possibility. If I am not prepared, I will feel very guilty and feel it is a pity."
There are also times when Zhang Zhenyuan feels that his performance is satisfactory to him, such as the debut song "Before the Light Comes". Although "Typhoon was not very proficient at that time, and the singing was a little green," Zhang Zhenyuan felt that he sang his own story and voice. "That was a very meaningful song selection and performance for me."
But more often than not, Zhang Zhenyuan's encouragement to himself is always dull. “I do criticize myself more than encourage myself, but I am a person who needs encouragement very much. I need recognition and approval from others, which at least makes me feel that my efforts are effective and allows me to continue working hard."
When I was a child, criticism and encouragement came from my parents and teachers; standing on a bigger stage, affirmation and encouragement came in another form. In February 2021, on the Weibo Night stage, the Times Youth League Received the honor of "Weibo Popular Group of the Year". It was an unforgettable experience for Zhang Zhenyuan. Standing on the stage to receive the award, Zhang Zhenyuan thought of his childhood dream, and his heart was filled with emotions. "A sentence I said casually when I was a child came true, and I felt very lucky. So it is even more important to seize the opportunity. Now that you have done it, why should you give it up? ”

In 2020, Yan Haoxiang picked up a pen and tried his own creation for the first time.
It was an unforgettable time for him. Amid the internal and external turmoil, one thought became particularly clear in my mind: To engage in this industry, you must have your own point of view.
It is not easy to turn abstract thoughts into concrete words. After writing the first draft, Yan Haoxiang was very dissatisfied. He took the song to his composition teacher, who enlightened him that there are no certain rules in creation. Compared with the regularity of the form, the true thoughts and the views he wants to convey are more important.
After listening to the teacher’s suggestion, Yan Haoxiang went back and overturned the entire first draft and wrote For You ("Dedicated to You"). A crisp Bell sound, matched with the rhythm of an 808 drum machine, and under the nagging hi-hat, is the slightly immature voice of 15-year-old Yan Haoxiang.
Yan Haoxiang described his first creation as "no psychological burden": "I am a person who dares to try, so I am not worried about everyone's evaluation. I think it's cool to try something like this. ”

When composing "Tail Number 6208", Yan Haoxiang was thinking about what kind of song to write. Suddenly he had an idea and thought about whether he should write about his previous friendship.
“After doing this, I unconsciously had less and less contact with my former classmates and friends. "In Yan Haoxiang's view, this is like a process of drifting apart. "In the beginning, we may still chat on WeChat and on the phone, but as the time apart becomes longer and longer, the time to chat with each other becomes less and less. "
With such emotions, Yan Haoxiang wrote "Tail Number 6208". The title of the song comes from the old mobile phone number that Yan Haoxiang originally used. Under the busy tone that no one answered, it is the reminiscence of the past innocent years, hot pot, football field, canteen, Yan Haoxiang will all The beautiful memory images are embedded in the lyrics.
Yan Haoxiang can’t remember how much time it took to create this song, nor how many times he revised it. “Every time I finish writing the song at night, I feel very satisfied at that moment. I always think, why am I so good? However, when I wake up the next day and listen to it again, I think again, what did I write? "After several rounds of fighting between complacency and self-abandonment, "Tail Number 6208" finally handed over the answer sheet.
In the beginning, Yan Haoxiang adhered to a "whole-stage" creative method: if you want to write a song, you have to sit at the table and write it from scratch. The moment of inspiration bursts out. Time can come but cannot be sought, and the night when the writer is exhausted is the fate that a creator cannot escape. Later, a teacher reminded him that he can write down his inspiration, no matter how small it is, even a word or a rhyme.
Yan Haoxiang did so.The first inspiration memo was opened in May 2021. After that, nearly 70 memos recorded Yan Haoxiang's joys, sorrows, and joys for more than a year.

He will enroll in Beijing Film Academy in 2022. Every Friday night, after arranging the skits for the acting class, answering the homework for the line class, and rehearsing with my classmates, the hour hand has already climbed another quarter of a circle on the dial. It was another weekend, and Yan Haoxiang got into the car under the cover of night. He looked at the time and saw that it was exactly three-thirty.
At that time, the verse part of the new song had already taken shape, but there was no inspiration for the climax part. Yan Haoxiang thought this was a pretty good detail, so he wrote "At half past three, rush home after finishing work."
When planning the third anniversary music sharing event, the staff discussed with him and hoped that the new work would be a song that brings ups and downs of emotions. "I said, let me do a 'explosion' song, okay?"
Right Track ("Right Track") has a bit of rebellious arrogance. As a branch of Trap (a style of hip-hop music), Drill (a form of rap) rap style carries the wildness of the streets the moment it emerges from the streets of Chicago. The youthful ambition and yearning in the lyrics are wrapped in Chongqing dialect, adding a bit more domineering flavor of Sichuan and Chongqing.
"Why is it called Right Track? Because there is a lyric in it, 'Everything is on the right track.' I think this sentence is quite meaningful, so I took it as the name of my song." But at the age of 18, Yan Haoxiang does not intend to impose meaning on this song. "This song is more like the accumulation of previous inspirations. Every sentence is actually a feedback of my emotions at the time. I still hope to return to the origin of creation and output my views in this way."

In September 2022, He Junlin hosted the 29th College Student Film Festival "Youth Night" together with movie channel host Lan Yu. The day before the event, he caught a cold because he stayed up late reading the script. When he woke up the next day, he found that his voice was different and he couldn't help but sigh. It was the "prime day" of the event. He Junlin practiced his voice. Although his throat was a little sore, he felt that he could hold on.
When he stood on the stage that day, He Junlin felt that he had a feeling of "going all out", but at the same time, he felt that his heart was stable. "I just gave myself a hint that no matter what happens, I can handle it."
After many days, after recounting this unforgettable experience, a naughty smile appeared on He Junlin's face. "That time really taught me a very big lesson. If you really have to stay up late to read a playbook, you still have to cover yourself with a quilt."
He Junlin's ten fingers spread out hard on the table, seeming to support part of his body. The continuous work made his face look obviously sleepy, but it could not stop him from happily telling his story. As a kid from Chengdu, He Junlin somewhat possesses the talent of the Land of Abundance's "Dragon Gate Formation". No matter how embarrassing or embarrassing something happens to him, he can turn it into a hilarious story.

This boy who seems to always tease himself with a "big heart" has actually been looking for a future direction for a long time. At the beginning of 2021, when he was still in his second year of high school, he began to think about what major he should choose in college.He thought about studying music, acting, and even taking the directing major. For this reason, he also studied filmmaking.
In the process of weighing his options, He Junlin had not never considered the broadcasting major. He has been lively and expressive since he was a child, and he is not afraid to take the stage, so he has hosted many occasions, large and small. But after thinking about it carefully, he self-denied this path first. "I'm used to speaking in Chengdu dialect, so I feel that my accent will be heavier. I only had half a year left at that time, so I felt like I couldn't finish it."
Just when he was hesitant, he and Yan Haoxiang received an invitation to host Beijing TV's "Boiling Night". It was a hosting experience on a big stage. During the rehearsal, He Junlin even completed an extreme stop that made everyone present applaud him. After that hosting session, He Junlin immediately called his original Mandarin teacher, "I asked the teacher, can I still learn broadcasting?"
After entering Communication University of China to study broadcasting, he began to consciously cultivate the habit of observing and recording life. The class teacher suggested that he spend half an hour every day sorting out the day's experiences and recording them. At first, he could not worry so much about logic. If he persisted, the materials would gradually become complete and rich, and he would be able to form his own material library, making it easier to express himself. "The teacher told me that if you think half an hour is long, you can start with 10 minutes or 20 minutes." I thought this process would be difficult, but I didn't expect that He Junlin couldn't stop his thoughts as soon as he started to write.

When preparing for the third anniversary music sharing session, He Junlin also felt that he had become more relaxed. He has always been good at learning from experience and avoiding mistakes. It turns out that he jumped to the wrong place during practice, and the next time he jumped to the same position, he could not help but think, "Don't make a mistake, don't make a mistake." Although this method worked, he also found that at that moment, his whole expression was tense.
At this music sharing meeting, he chose the song "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse". Due to the tight rehearsal time, some details could not meet his own requirements when he went on stage to synthesize for the first time. But at that moment, he felt very calm and stable. "After I made a mistake, I wondered why I was wrong, and then I found out that I had misremembered the sequence of actions. Then I figured it out myself, and there was no problem the second time."
"I have always said that I want to pursue perfection, and now I still pursue it. , just don’t obsess." Compared with when he was a child, He Junlin felt more stable and confident, "The last time was the last time, this time is the current state, I believe in myself, this is enough."
