Grow up with me

I remember someone told me that when you have started to remember, it means you are old.

So in these years when I was slowly "getting old" (cough cough), I was originally a person who didn't like to watch TV. Since I was a traitor who worshipped foreigners and foreigners since I was a child, I watched American dramas. I watched a season of Desperate Housewives. I also watched CSI. I also watched a few episodes of heroes. I heard everyone discuss prison break every day. Suddenly I realized that there is no TV series that touches me like my favorite X-Files. It makes me deeply recall the years when I grew up with me. Is it the nostalgia for my youth and the only companion in those lonely nights? .

From the age of 13 to 18, I must be in front of the TV every Sunday at nine o'clock. In the beginning, Phoenix Satellite TV dubbed the two protagonists. The voice of the female voice is very nice, soft and mellow. Then it was estimated that the people on Phoenix TV were too lazy to dub, so they put on the Chinese subtitles, and I suddenly found that the voice of the heroine was still very good. The pronunciation of English and Chinese is completely different, so many girls' voices are also slightly low, and few Chinese can achieve the charming and sweet. So the heroine Scully became my idol.

In fact, she is not beautiful in the beautiful Midwest, or in California, where the exotic beauties are like tides. But she is smart, independent, and independent, and she can spare no effort to pursue her beliefs, and she can let everything about science be in her hands. Her wisdom is undoubtedly the best decoration for a woman. I think maybe at that time, I just wanted to be that kind of woman, extremely smart and confident enough to master her own future.

In the beginning, in each episode, several poor guys died unexpectedly. A mental illness inherited from generation to generation makes a woman run to kill in the middle of the night, engraving sister or something on her chest. It made me (at that time in the second year of junior high school) dare not get up in the morning until the sky was bright and I was late for school. For a while, a certain person in China passed away. I haven't watched this TV show for 2 months, which greatly reduced the impression of a great person in my mind.

Two years later, I moved. The jerky English and countless medical terms kept me reading until I could barely understand the plot of the story. In fact, from today's point of view, the dialogue of this TV series is very exciting, the words are accurate, the vocabulary is cumbersome but absolutely appropriate. If it is not a good education, those words and sentences may not be easy to understand. The storyline has a deeper meaning many times, and I can gradually understand it today.

I think deep down in my heart I am actually a hopeless romantic. It's just that the romantic novels of Cinderella meeting the prince, the romantic encounters of every family, the time lapse of getting old together, and even the dance party of flowers and Chinese clothes, can no longer move me. When I was very young, the first feeling I encountered was the catharsis of this TV series.

They face each other day and night, trust each other, but never cross the thunder pond. It's not that they don't love each other, but they don't know that their love can last. In those long nine years, saving each other, let the world see more. Faith, value, selfless giving. When the world betrayed them, they fled hurriedly together, and finally faced each other frankly in the endless world in that desert.

During the years when I was growing up, I saw such innocent and selfless feelings, so I knew that they would never be separated again. Maybe the aliens will attack the earth, maybe the government's conspiracy will continue to subvert the world, maybe nothing will happen... After so many years of slow precipitation, nothing can be deeper and more reliable than that kind of emotion. In the ending nine years later, in that small hotel in the desert, they clasped their fingers and faced an unknown tomorrow. I suddenly learned a lot.

I understand that Cinderella’s story is nothing but a humble dream of all women when they were young; I understand that the world’s enmity is just a man’s day dream; love is not about you hating my love, not about subverting the world. She paid silently, putting the other's feelings before her, selflessly, facing the unknown future brought by the world and destiny together. No book has described such selflessness, but I have seen it here.

Science fiction movies emerge in endlessly, and fantasy stories are updated. The confession of the blonde girl in the stardust for love did not move me, and the 16 years of waiting in the couple of the Condor Heroes did not make me remember anything. But this night after 6 years, I can't help but think of this TV series that grew up with me, and its pure and innocent feelings that exhausted all the vicissitudes of life.

I used to think I had this world, but all I want to have is you.
