What were you actually doing when you were 17 years old? Hurrying to attend class every day? Worrying about love? Or perhaps getting all crazy over your idol?
At this moment, Wang is standing on West Street with the simple purpose of looking for a life any ordinary youth would live! Is he very un-normal? Does he have a spiritual problem? Or perhaps he has a mental problem?
A 17 years old youth and he is already a Master's Degree student at Harvard University. He is likened to be a talented celebrity to have the best prospects in his future. He has extremely smart and talented friends that are by his side and what his family has is money! And no matter what he wants to train in, he will get. As simple as learning to drive, he was able to get Michael Schumacher (the world's best and fastest racing driver) to be his teacher! Also he possesses a handsome appearance and a tall body…
Other people say, Xing Wang's meaning of righteousness is perfection! However, looking at himself, Wang only feels that he is totally lacking in any regrets! Because he is lacking in warmth, something that ordinary people is able to possess, but don't understand how to cherish the family warmth…
On a certain day when he is 17 years old, after he has handed in his graduation thesis, he has arranged to meet with his mom who was able to find time in her extremely busy schedule, to go to Disneyland to find that long missing mother/son feeling. Unfortunately, he receives a phone call that his mom has suddenly passed away unexpectedly…
Wang tore up his graduation thesis, destroyed everything of his, stepped onto the plane without hesitation, and headed off to a place that is totally the opposite of his past - Taiwan, West Street. Here, he can forget the life of the past in which he goes to class, studies and does research everyday. He wants to live again the most ordinary life of a teenager, even if it's the life of a small child!
Therefore, he hangs around the streets and wants to make friends with other youngsters. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to communicate with his peers and in the end, he merely uses challenges as a means to have mutual contact with them.
But the outcome is that Wang gets even more than he had imagine. Not only did he find an auntie who was able to give him the feelings of a mom, he also got love, got friendship…
Wang feels for the first time that his life is full!

If, during your childhood, your mother dresses you up in: white T-shirts, red jumper shorts, and then fixes your hair in the shape that your two ears are showing, clip on a cloth butterfly clip; looking exactly like the appearance of "Hello Kitty"… but, you are a boy! And for each meal, you would eat the most delicious food -- the problem is that they are all in the shape of "Hello Kitty"! If this is how you spent your childhood, then you would understand You Ya Yu!
Because he loves wrestling, he would take exercising his body seriously, insisting on turning himself like the wrestling celebrities! In his world, there is a distinct difference between good and bad. He would teach those whom he firmly believes to be bad a lesson! He would always have worries because he has a mom who enthusiastically loves "Hello Kitty" and is always submerged in her pink delusional world. Worried about his mom's life and relationships, he would often have to put forth a hand to save her! For his younger brother, he would assume the role of father when he is very young; Even more still, for him, Ya Yu would sacrifice his studies and his reputation!
Only because he has persistence, because he has responsibilities, therefore, it forces the hidden righteousness out of Yu. In the daytime, he would roam around all of West Street, working for each and every small and big shops - a scattered worker. At night, he would change his appearance into a heroic knight, using his wrestling, comical bicycle, and baseball bat, this type of look, along with his group of good friends to uphold righteousness on West Street, helping those in need!
His heart of righteousness is surrounded by the appearance of that of a scoundrel. In the mentality of all the teachers, Ya Yu is regarded as a bad member, someone who breaks the order of things, doesn’t follow rules, only do things according to what he likes. But for something that he is not willing to explain, he chooses to give up on his studies instead. When he arrives at West Street, after a few months, he becomes No. 1 in disturbing matters and creating chaos all around! However, how many people would know how heavy his burden is, how he longs to go and look for his own father… But, rather than putting on a miserable face to face life, You Ya Yu chooses to use his sunshine smile to face it! He is a strong person!

After two glances at it, all the students gave up on it, but Li continues to strive hard to convince them to keep on reading. In the end, with a bit of difficulty, the teacher had to drive her out of the classroom… The female students are not interested not because it is written by Li. Merely it's because what Li is writing are martial novels! Causing the teachers to frown is not because Li is a bad girl. Merely it's because Li is the Principal's daughter!
From primary school to middle school, each and every composition topic that is on "What I want to be", Li would certainly write on the piece of paper "female hero" these two words!

Shen Yin He (portrayed by Cyndi Wang Xin Ling)
Age: 17
Idol: A female celebrity that is "taken care" of. Of course, not the type of female celebrity that sings every night and comes in and out of famous stores! It's the type of female celebrity that would have the chauffeur bring her to and from bookstores, buying truck after truck loads of books, use money to advance her studies and in the end, go abroad to study!
|
|
Who is she? Wearing a short skirt she appears on West Street, using her charm, long white legs, causing the guys' hearts to flip and flop, willing to open up their wallets to offer her the most expensive name brand purses and clothing and even cash! And in the end, they might only be able to have an afternoon tea gathering with her! Right! Indeed, she is a prostitute! However, in the deep hours of the night, she would sneak into the library, read books for the whole night and have a great time at it! She is a young girl that has many faces that people could not figure out!
Her proverbs:
1. I will not fall in love with any guys! I will only love their money!
2. If you want to be together with me, then "take care" of me!
3. I will use the money for "taking care" of me to buy up all the books in all the bookstores of Taiwan!
With this money, she would be able to obtain knowledge, would be able to go aboard to study! In the end, she doesn't need to depend on any man and be a useful person herself, taking care of her younger brothers and sisters! So prostitution is the shortcut to achieving her dreams! To say that she is too mature? Using her own words: "If your mom passed away early, there is a father who is always drinking, and there are 7 younger brothers and sisters to take care of, then you will understand everything!" Such an unfortunate background, accelerated her matureness and also makes it hard for her to accept happiness!
One day, her classmate, Li, wanted to save her from a bad, perverted guy, departing from West Street. She also met up with a young, handsome, rich, and also willing to "take care" of her guy, who doesn't need her to give out anything in return - Xing Wang! There's also Yu, this young West Street hero, and a bunch of good friends. For friendship, they would do anything… Their warmth caused her original life that is in complete darkness, to be filled with glitter and beauty!
However, having been used to misfortunes all along, enduring a bumpy destiny, even when He is dreaming, she wouldn't dare to imagine what she would do at the time when happiness befalls her. Would she choose to escape? Or receive it happily? Would accepting herself really be a happiness?
After entering into West Street, her life completely changes. Everything that she possesses, perhaps is what every young girl dreams of having - an experience, a love! She is the modern Cinderella!
