About twenty years ago，Gao Xiaosong wrote the lyrics(歌词)of the classic folk song My old Classmate that touched millions of hearts．Now，as the producer of the new youth film of the same title，he is trying to do it again．

Starring Zhou Dongyu，22，and Lin Gengxin，26，My Old Classmate follows the pair's life and love from middle school，when they are tablemates(同桌)，through high school， college and beyond their graduation．

    In the first half hour，audiences(观众)constantly see the symbolic items(标志性物品)of the early 1990s,including pencil boxes and comic books．

The film also mentions important events that took place during the period from 1993 to 2013，including China's entry into the World'Frade Organization，the terrorist attacks against the US on Sept.11，2001，and the 2002 SARS outbreak in China．This attention to detail brings back many memories, especially among those who were born in the 1980s．

Then there's the main focus：the first love between Zhou's and Lin's characters．The film doesn't have a fairy tale(童话)ending，but director Guo Fan's way of storytelling is quite impressive．If audiences can see a little bit of themselves in the film，it has fulfilled its goal．And those who are experiencing their sweet first love need not worry too much，because no matter how it ends，the precious memories of it will always stay．

    Music and Art will enter the Entrance Exam for the high school in Jiangsu. Without music, life would be a mistake. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算).

    For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

    However, learning music is beneficial (有益的) in many ways.

    When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

    Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
