My Blue Summer (Chinese: 暗恋橘生淮南; pinyin: Ànliàn Jú Shēng Huáinán, literally "Secret Love · Ju Sheng Huainan") is a 2022 Chinese youth romantic film directed by Bin Huang, and stars Xin Yunlai as Sheng Huai Nan and Sophie Zhang as Luo Zhi.
While on a business trip, hotshot lawyer Luo Zhi (Sophie Zhang) hears of the death of well-known Japanese anime director Takahata Isao, who made one of her favourite films, Only Yesterday (1991).
At an exhibition in his honour, she sees an old diary that she wrote in her teens (but lost at high school) devoted to her secret crush on a fellow pupil, Sheng Huainan (Xin Yun Lai).
Soon afterwards she had met Sheng Huainan, the young son of the factory’s owner whom her mother was still harassing for more compensation money, claiming the workers were not properly insured.
When Luo Zhi had seen Sheng Huainan, she’d been immediately won over again by his humility and quietness, and started secretly following him around and imitating him.
Meanwhile, the school beauty, Ye Zhanyan (Li Ximeng), had made an open play for Sheng Huainan.
Then Ye Zhanyan had stolen Luo Zhi’s private diary, and soon afterwards she and Sheng Huainan had become a couple.
As the countdown to the university entrance exam [gaokao] began, Luo Zhi had become the school’s top pupil, while Sheng Huainan slipped down to 24th.
