      Radio.
      There was an amber astigmatism on the dark screen, and at the same time I heard the "creaking" sound of the electrical appliances. The astigmatism gradually increased its brightness, and finally revealed a big "11". A red vertical ribbon moves mysteriously laterally on the screen, making a faint sound.
      The picture slowly receded,...

      .

      Roger Roberts said that after watching "American Style Painting" he evoked his nostalgia for the era when he graduated from high school and was about to enter university. It seemed like a liquid injected into my body and reminded me of the night after the college entrance examination. Similarly, we didn't sleep that night. The whole class went to the Internet cafes all night, but the Internet cafes were full. The rest of us couldn't get in and had to stay in KTV. Everyone drank that night, and...

      One night of youth

      You're the most beautiful and exciting thing I've ever seen in my life. Such a traditional and enthusiastic way of expression made me feel hot at the end. Perhaps the most talked about in this movie is the memorial of James Dean that Milner, who died young, evoked. The two most memorable shots are the white thunderbird running fast under the wing, and the wolfman smiling in the light behind Curt.
      In the night, young people drove to show off looking for girls everywhere, and the uniform...

      It's better than the current Hollywood movies, and every car is so handsome! When you are young, you should enjoy life, and when you are old, you will become a serious and uninteresting strange aunt in the eyes of cute young...
