The plot describes 12-year-old Naying, who must leave her best classmate Haisheng because her parents decided to immigrate to Toronto. After 24 years, Naying (Greta Lee), who loves writing, lives in New York and marries a writer with the same interest and profession. Haisheng (Liu Taiwu) has become an ordinary office worker, Haisheng took the plane to New York just to see Naying again, which made Naying’s heart shake… How should she face this emotion?

Childhood memories are so deep for them. Naying, a girl who loves to cry, is always surrounded by Haisheng who silently guards. The film uses every 12 years as a segment to explain their current situation and changes in mood. When they were 12 years old They separated, found each other on the Internet when they were 24 years old, and finally met again when they were 36 years old. For a friendship that lasted 24 years, is it really just friendship? The appearance of Haisheng made Naying seem to have returned to her childhood again, the boy in front of her seemed to be reliable, and the surge in their hearts was hard to describe.

There are many scenes in the film where Haisheng and Naying smile at each other without speaking. The two always stare at each other closely, as if they want to make up for the lack of being able to see each other for 24 years, and they seem to understand each other’s heart without words, especially Haisheng’s final farewell to Naying, waiting for Uber for just two minutes, the two suppressed each other’s emotions, kept a friendly and polite distance, and at most only sent hugs. Because of the fate, we can spend more time with each other.

The 12-year-old and the 24-year-old, did they not say love? There is no communication but they occupy the deepest corners in each other’s hearts. At the age of 36, even though they chat as innocently and comfortably as they did when they were young, they don’t want to be separated like this, but they also know that they can’t go back to the past. This romantic reunion after 24 years will make them regret the past. choose? Let us be safe in this life, and look forward to the fate in the next life. “The Us Before”will hold a special word-of-mouth screening from July 28th to 30th, and it will be officially released on August 4th.
