You Are the Apple of My Eye (Chinese: 那些年,我們一起追的女孩, lit.'Those Years, The Girl We Went After Together') is a 2011 Taiwanese coming of age romance film. It is based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Taiwanese author Giddens Ko,[3] who also made his directorial debut with the film.[4] The film stars Ko Chen-tung as Ko Ching-teng, a prankster and a mischievous student who eventually becomes a writer.[5] Michelle Chen stars as Shen Chia-yi, an honor student who is very popular amongst the boys in her class.[5]
You Are the Apple of My Eye was filmed almost entirely on location in Changhua County, including at the high school which Giddens attended.[6] The lyrics of "Those Years", the film's main theme, were written by Giddens.[7] The song, which was well received by the public, was nominated for Best Original Film Song at the 48th Golden Horse Awards.[8]
The film's world premiere was at the 13th Taipei Film Festival on 25 June 2011,[9] and it was subsequently released in Taiwanese cinemas on 19 August.[10] Well received by film critics, the movie set box-office records in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.[1][11] Ko Chen-tung won the Best New Performer award at the Golden Horse Awards for his role in the film.[12]
