Youth is always youthful on the stage

As graduation approaches, the days are counted down. While trying to adapt to the social life that is about to begin, while remembering the lost college days, this is what I, and I believe, most graduates are experiencing.
While in college, I worked as a photojournalist for the w88 casino newspaper for two years. Campus activities were a heavy burden for me. I shoot for several hours after class, and it’s usually late at night when the pictures are processed. At that time, I always go to bed tired and have a sore back the next day.
But now, if you ask me what I miss most about college, it must be the stage. Yes, it's the stage.
I used to always pay attention to the pictures displayed on the camera and try to record the precious moments left by every person on the stage. The soulful eyes of the singer, the dynamic waist of the dancers, the integration of the players and instruments, and the eyes and smiles of all the actors. I am always in the front row, closest to the stage, but I am rarely affected by it. In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether I sing well or not, and whether the show is interesting or not, as long as my photos are good enough.
It wasn’t until my senior year that I sat in the audience of the College Student Activity Center for the first time in order to cheer for my friend’s “Top Ten” competition. Listening to the contestants singing, I unconsciously thought of the "Top Ten" I had experienced and those people on the stage. Although I don’t know where they are now, the way they close their eyes or jump up while singing is etched in my mind, just like the people who are singing hard in front of me. After stepping away from my role as a photojournalist, I suddenly understood that there are always young figures on the stage, and it is here that you can feel the freshest fragrance of youth. Their out-of-tune, forgotten words, and awkward moments can all be tolerated, because youth itself is intoxicating enough, and those so-called mistakes have become beautiful embellishments.
During the graduation season two years ago, I was in charge of filming the performance of "Rhino in Love" by the w88 casino drama troupe. Two years later, I watched the play again in the theater, only this time it was replaced by professional actors. The familiar narration, the more exquisite stage scenes and lighting, and the interpretation of the story by professional drama actors may all be like role models compared to the previous performance. But I have been missing those figures who worked hard to perform this drama on the stage of the University Student Activity Center two years ago. They are immature and green, but also fresh and beautiful. They remind me of that sentence——
"Forever young, forever filled with tears."
