Qingwei | memories of the campus

Text/Lee Joon-young

The sun is shining, the spring is back to the earth, accompanied by a breeze, very pleasant. Spring is a good season for tourism, spring is warm and blossoming, everything is revived, and everywhere you go is a sea of flowers! Vibrant, Vientiane renewed! However, because of the epidemic, we have lost a good opportunity to travel this spring. However, the beautiful scenery is everywhere, and in the infinite spring light, I met my long-lost alma mater!

Qingwei | memories of the campus

In the memory, the old bell, the old locust tree, the ancient courtyard wall, and the aunt who rang the bell, the red tile house with the stone to the top, and the teachers and classmates we used to get along with day and night...

Qingwei | memories of the campus

Many years have passed, people have gone their separate ways, everything has ceased to exist, but the original site of the school is still there, but it has become a new type of teaching building that rises from the ground, and the spring campus is shaded with green trees, flowers blooming, and the scenery is enchanting! Only because of the recent epidemic, children can only stay at home to take online classes, and the campus is quiet! However, the campus, with its unconcealable cultural heritage, pulled me back to that summer more than thirty years ago! The beautiful campus evokes endless memories for me!

Qingwei | memories of the campus

I remember that summer, you and I are like many of our classmates, in order not to extinguish the original intention of life, we fought hard in that black July, the sound of reading in the classroom, the drops of sweat flowing on the playground, the bright sun shining on our innocent smiling faces, and the lights reflecting the figure of our hard reading... Looking at the beautiful campus, everything is in front of you again, as if it were yesterday! Everything experienced has been deeply imprinted in the deepest part of the soul, never blurred by the long time, and the longer the time, the clearer the memory becomes! A letter of notice, let us run our own things, and since then fate has kept you and me so far away!

Qingwei | memories of the campus

No matter how far away the time is, the love of the teacher, the friendship of the same window! But it is always hidden in the heart, lingering! How can you forget? In that rainy summer, you were drenched in heavy rain in order to send me study materials, but when the books hidden in your arms were handed to me, they were intact! That feeling has always remained in my heart!

The clearest memory is that you have solved the physics problem for me, and I still remember the content of the question, I asked, "The ice floats on the surface of the water, melts, why does the water level decrease?" You replied, "Because the ice is less dense than water, the volume of the ice is large, so the water level of the ice floating on the surface of the water is high, and after the ice melts, the water level decreases..."

After a summer of intense preparation and sweating hard work, our two graduating students finally took a bus to the county town reference hundreds of miles away! Unfortunately, I broke my leg on the first day of the exam, and by the time I arrived at the bus station, the bus was already full of people, and one of my classmates immediately stood up and gave me his seat, but he himself stood for two hours! I was embarrassed to say, "You're tired!" You smile and say disapprovingly, "It's okay, I'm a man!" ”

I especially remember that cold winter night, in the cold classroom, in the night self-study class, it was my turn to fetch water for my classmates, a bucket full of water, I had some difficulty lifting, although you had pulled the bucket to the nearest distance to you, when I was about to reach the door of the classroom, I still accidentally spread my hand, and the water immediately scattered on the ground! I thought you were going to be angry, but you didn't, but instead said to me, "It's so cold, go back to the classroom!" "After saying that, you carried the bucket yourself and brought a large bucket full of water!" ......

The floodgates of memory, once opened, everything about that time, will come flooding in! Life will not always be full of tenderness, and youth will not be beautiful as scheduled. Maybe when you look back again, the years have slowly eroded your once familiar face, and white hair and wrinkles will be exposed in front of you! What a sigh, just can't come back in time! And I won't have the fanatical dreams of the past! The body and mind are like the wilderness of autumn, quiet and indifferent! It's like a valley in spring, with dark willows and bright flowers! In the end of the cape, you and I are working hard, let the four seasons pass, whether successful or not, the campus will always be the base we have never forgotten! Because here are so many of our wonderful memories of youth!
