Mozzanine holds the title page of a book
Feel history flow through your fingers
A new journey of ink incense begins
Beginning with God in these famous works
To continue the Book of Disaster Prevention
It must be fun
Part 1
Three hundred and forty-eight years, six months and nineteen days ago, in the old city of Paris, the university city and the new city of The Triple City, the bells rang out in the early morning, waking up the residents of the city.
- Victor Hugo, Notre Dame de Paris
Ten minutes before the class started, in the chengji building, Tianyi building and Mingliu building and other teaching buildings, the preparatory bell sounded as promised, reminding the students to concentrate their thoughts and prepare for the class.
Part 2
You're about to start reading Italo Calvino's new novel, If on a Winter Night, a Traveler.
--Italo Calvino
"If on a Winter Night, a Traveler"
You're about to start experiencing the best four years of your life's journey. What kind of brush should we use to depict this special time?
Part 3
When I was young and inexperienced, my father taught me a sentence that I still remember. "Whenever you want to criticize anyone," he said to me, "you remember that not everyone in this world has the advantages you have." ”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby
We are still young and inexperienced. But as time goes by, years later, we still remember it. "Whenever I recall being on a disaster-proof campus," I say to others, "I always remember those happy days." ”
Part 4
Inevitably, the smell of bitter almonds always reminded him of his fate after love was blocked.
- Márquez, "Love in the Time of Cholera"
Inevitably, the atmosphere in the library at eight o'clock in the morning always reminds me of the future that I am obsessed with.
Part 5
This is the best of times, this is the worst times; this is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity; this is the age of faith, this is the time of doubt; this is the season of light, this is the season of darkness; this is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment; there are all kinds of things before people, there is nothing before them; people are going straight to heaven, people are going straight to hell.
- Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
This is the best of us and the worst of us. There are all kinds of things in front of us, and we can't grasp them, and we just have nothing. The best, always ahead.
Part 6
Through the long tunnel of the county boundary, there is the snow country. The night sky is white. The train stopped in front of the signalhouse.
INTERVIEWER KAWABATA Yasunari, Snow Country
Spanning hundreds of kilometers, there is the campus. The crowd under the sky is in pairs. The student stopped in front of the teaching building; the student stopped in front of the dormitory building; the student stopped in front of the canteen.
Part 7
Today I am 21 years old, and in the golden age of my life, I have a lot of extravagant expectations. I want to eat, I want to love, and I want to turn into a cloud in the sky in an instant.
——Wang Xiaobo, "The Golden Age"
In the four years of my youth, I had many extravagant hopes. I want to drink a bowl of hot porridge in the canteen with the breeze; I want to fight in the library with the stars; I want to lie on the playground in a daze when the sun sets; and I want to use four years to polish my ideal self.
The story will finally come to an end
But let the memories climb to the savage growth
A generation will always leave
But there are always people who are always young
We write the beginning of the story
But please perpetuate your youth forever
