What is it like for a fifteen-year-old?
Childish?
Energetic?
Rebellious?
Still is......

Youtube was launched earlier this year as a platform for downloading, watching, and sharing videos and clips among users, but as its user base grew, it evolved into a repository of memories for netizens and a place for original video creators to publish their work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After only a few months on the line, Youtube has fully demonstrated its potential as one of the social networking giants of the future, with tens of millions of short videos on its page, attracting millions of views every day, and it is beginning to overtake rivals such as MSNvideo and GOOGLEvideo to become the most visited website of the century.
Amy is eighteen years old this year, studying at the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy in the United States, and is a senior in high school this year, but American high school is a four-year system, so she will have to study for a senior year after this summer.
As a typical new-generation American girl, she is lively and cute, her personality is youthful and beautiful, and of course, she is also keen on chasing stars.
The walls of the girly room are plastered with large posters of the recently popular All-American girl idol - Jia Tingting Justin Timberlake, and the drawer of the bedside table is filled with all the albums released by Boss Jia since his debut, including the "Superboy" period and the "justified" after solo flight.
Amy sat down at her desk, turned on her computer, logged on to YouTube, and skillfully logged into her account, and under her personal homepage, unsurprisingly shared her collection of short videos about Justin, live concert clips, song MVs, and videos of the shows he had participated in. It's just empty under the post video column.
But starting today it's different!
A few days ago, she went to attend an offline fan meeting event for Justin, and not only had the honor to have close contact with her idol, but also recorded this dream time in DV. At this moment, she can't wait for everyone in the United States to share her joy, and at the same time, she wants to show off like her best friend Brenda, Justin is a hundred times more handsome and sexy than what she sees on TV!
Connecting the DV player to the computer, Amy quickly found the video that she regarded as a treasure, and after skillfully operating it on the computer a few times, Amy clicked the "upload" button on the web page.
However, the speed of the Internet is really unsatisfactory, and Amy looks at the progress bar on the screen that is rubbing forward little by little like a snail, and an irrepressible anxiety rises in her heart.
"Damn it!" Amy slapped the table hard and cursed fiercely.
Obviously, swearing is not a way to relieve anxiety, but it makes people more angry. Amy decided to find something to do to distract herself.
Amy clicked on a few of the user's pages she regularly visited, and found that one user had just uploaded a new video. Amy glanced at her ID:
――MeiHeng。
It turned out to be her, Amy remembered her, this ID is a little awkward users often share some daily videos of celebrities on the street, including of course her natal Jia Tingting.
Amy is a little excited, will this new video be related to her idol?
Thinking of this, Amy couldn't wait to open the new video and click play.
The video begins, and after a black screen that is a few seconds long, a frame appears on the computer screen.
A detached house with a courtyard comes into view, which is common in the United States, and Amy's own home is similar to this.
Could it be that this is the residence of a celebrity? Amy became excited.
But what follows disappoints Amy.
An Asian boy in his midteen or fifteen years old appears on the screen, and he obviously can't be a star, let alone her Justin.
"It's boring!" Amy whispered.
There are also Asian American students in her school, who only know how to read all the time, and they can't play rugby, basketball, or even soccer! Not cool at all! They rarely participate in group activities, and some clubs don't even have them, and the Korean classmate in her class can't even finish talking to the girls. It's boring!
Even if the Asian boy in front of her looks a little more handsome than Amy usually sees Asian boys, so what? Anyway, they're all Asian, so it's not interesting!
The video continued to play, and the screen switched, and the boy changed into a sportswear and stood on the lawn in the front yard doing warm-up exercises.
After a while, the boy began to perform a series of strange movements that Amy found unbelievable.
"Poof!" Amy couldn't help but laugh. The boys' movements are really funny, and the dance is not like dance gymnastics, not like gymnastics, but like a clown.
"Are you doing Chinese kung fu?" In the video, a female voice suddenly asked, it should be the person who shot the video.
Amy suddenly realized, yes, although it looks a little weird, it is really similar to the kung fu in the movies of JetLi and JackieChan. It seems that this boy is Chinese.
As the video progressed, the boy's movements gradually became better, and Amy was more sure that this was Huaxia Kung Fu.
At this time, the boy in the video spoke: "Yes, how is it?" Cool, right. I tell you you should feel lucky, because not every Chinese person knows kung fu! ”
The boy said seriously: "It's like not every black man can rap!" ”
“…… Hahaha! Amy froze for a few seconds, then laughed so hard that she almost died.
This boy is really a little different, not only handsome, but also very humorous! Interesting!
With a gorgeous martial arts posture and a toned body, Amy suddenly found that the boy's figure was actually very material, and the muscles of the body parts exposed by the short sportswear were beautiful and shapely, just like those rugby team members in the school were full of masculine charm.
Soon the kung fu part is over, and Amy is still a little unsatisfied, annoyed why the photographer didn't shoot more shots.
However, the next picture made Amy quickly forget about her frustration. The camera panned and followed the boy into the house, and then the boy suddenly rolled up his shirt after walking in the door, and his muscular abdominal muscles took Amy's attention defenselessly.
"Wow!" Amy let out a few strange screams and couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva silently.
However, before she could take a few more looks, the evil sportswear obscured the view.
"Hey, you can't shoot this."
"What can't be filmed! I'm the director, I have the final say! ”
It's just, why can't you shoot it! Obviously you should shoot more. Amy echoed in her heart.
"Then you shoot yourself."
"I was wrong, don't shoot, don't shoot!"
Then the camera goes black.
"Damn it!" Amy slapped the table hard, "What are the boys still shy about!" ”
After protesting, she laughed again, "But it's cute." ”
The video continued to play, and Amy was already fully engaged in watching it, completely forgetting about her boring and boring comments before.
"What is this?"
The scene is changed to the kitchen, and the handsome Asian boy is standing in front of the stove and is busy, probably cooking, but the kitchenware and dishes are something that Amy has never seen before.
"It's called mapo tofu." The boy replied.
"Ma Po Doufu?" Amy muttered the awkward phrase, not knowing what it meant. However, the boy's focused expression and skillful movements gave her an inexplicable charm that she had never experienced.
If she understands Huaxia, she will understand a truth at this time: a man who can cook is the most handsome!
The dish is out of the pot, and the boy skillfully puts the dish on the plate. The red soup is soaked in white tofu and mixed with an appetizing color, and Amy suddenly feels a little hungry when she looks at it.
"Taste?" The boy took a piece of tofu and handed it to the camera.
Amy, who was in front of the screen, unconsciously opened her mouth.
"Well, it's delicious!" The female voice in the video exclaimed.
"There is an old saying in China," the boy smiled at the camera, "If you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first grab her stomach." ”
"Leo, then you have successfully captured my heart!" The sound of a girl's laughter can be heard in the video.
Amy suddenly became a little jealous of her.
"Ding-dong." The sound of the computer alerts Amy that the video has been uploaded, but she has no time to care about it, and the video playing in front of her grabs all her attention.
She watched the boy ride his bicycle vigorously, as if she were sitting in the back seat of him; She watched the boy standing lonely on the street, and heard him say that he liked it a little, so she was a little lost for no reason; She listened to him sing his unique song called "Huaxia Style" on the crowded streets, and suddenly had the idea of going to Huaxia.
The ten-minute video will soon be finished. The camera cuts to the last scene, which is supposed to be the videographer's bedroom.
There are also large celebrity posters on the walls of the bedroom in the shot, including Justin Timberlake, which Amy has in mind. However, at this time, Amy no longer had the heart to pay attention to him, and her eyes were completely attracted to the Chinese boy holding the guitar in the center of the picture.
"Finally, give yourself a moment to show yourself. I'm going to sing something I haven't heard before! The female voice said.
"Oh," the guy with the guitar nodded, "no problem. ”
He plucked the strings softly, and as soon as the prelude came out, Amy could hear it, it was the single that was popular all over the United States last year - "Youare Beautiful".
Amy looked at the boy's charming eyes, which were as dark and deep as the night sky, staring at her, and said affectionately in a slightly hoarse voice:
“You're_beautiful. You're_beautiful.
You're_beautiful,it's_true.
I_saw_your_face_in_a_crowded_place,
And_I_don't_know_what_to_do,
CauseI'll_never_be_with_you.
……”
The heart under Amy's chest beat violently, and again, and again, and finally it was as dense as the drums of war on the battlefield.
Amy stared at the computer screen for a moment, then she suddenly jumped up from the stool, grabbed the phone on the side, and dialed a familiar number, which belonged to her best friend Brenda.
As soon as the phone was connected, Amy excitedly shouted through the microphone, "Brenda, I seem to be in love!" ”
At this moment, after another black screen on the screen in front of her, the last image of the video appeared.
The boy is riding a bicycle, and the picture is only shown to his back, and the video shooter is supposed to be sitting in the back seat.
"What do you think a fifteen-year-old should look like?" The girl who shot the video asked.
The boy stopped the car and turned around, a pensive look appeared on his handsome face.
After a long while, he said slowly, "It should be ...... It's fearless. ”
