They vividly create a batch of different images of young people, such as Little Ear (Xiao Erduo), Bala, Zhang Yang, and Xu Ge. Different from other teenage films, The Left Ear lifts up to a new height and injects into new connotation based on the youth topic. Youthfulness is only part of contents in this film. In the eye of Alec Su, The Left Ear is a drama about youthfulness, love, change and grown-up.

In recent two years, teenage and nostalgic films adapted from novels are popular in Chinese film market. The success of So Young, Fleet of Time and Tiny Times offers the grown-up audiences born in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s with a chance to enjoy the “montage of the teenage rebellion”. Who was not dazed and confused at his teenage years? Who has not been hurt by love? These sentimental feelings look more lively and unrestrained in the film art. How will other casts of similar films make their line-up? We are looking forward to what will happen. In this April, on the magnificent Red Carpet of the 5th Beijing International Film Festival, The Left Ear will take you to listen to your inner being.
