A candid story adorned with friendship, self-exploration, romance, and the passage from adolescence to adulthood, “19 Days” helms the story of four striplings Jian Yi, Zhang Zheng Xi, He Tian, and Mo Guan Shan. From sharing seats to sharing feelings, the story transverses the development of an emotionally intimate relationship between Jian Yi and Zhang, Zheng Xi, and their friends He Tian and Mo Guan Shan.
A thriving relationship between the titular characters in “19 Tian” burgeons between the main protagonists. He Tian, the handsome one of the quartet, has fervid feelings for Mo Guan Shan and unabashedly expresses them. Initially, his gestures and expression of love were seen as a way of mockery by Mo Guan Shan, but now the feelings are reciprocal.
Mo Guan Shan is a delinquent who grew up penniless with a father behind bars and a mother struggling to make ends meet. Mo Guan Shan is a layered character with a tough exterior and a soft interior.
At the same time, the funny guy of the quartet Jian Yi stands out, all thanks to his booming yet tasteful personality. He is known for his ability to mask his suffering with a smile.
His sexuality was an unresolved enigma to him until his friend and later lover, Zheng Xi, questioned him about his possible affinity toward men. Zheng Xi, the nerd of the lot, is known for being cogent and astute. He is often considered an asexual ascetic, but this may not be true as he holds passionate emotions for his friend Jian Yi.
“19 Days” is often considered the pinnacle of LGBTQ+ themes in the Chinese Mainstream with its masterful mise en scene. The daily humdrum of high school boys is made compelling by Old Xian, the writer and illustrator of “19 Tian.”
