Features: Most of the articles in this book were written during last summer vacation. So they seem a bit naive when viewed now. Some were also written in the first year of junior high school, which are slightly better. Anyway, I dare not hope this is a good book. They are all works in progress, with some being naive and others imitative. Still, I have kept them—perhaps out of a "cherish what one has" mentality. I just hope I can write better in the future. One piece is several thousand words long and very lengthy. It was originally written as a long story upon request, but I had to pad it out because there weren’t enough words. Personally, I don’t think it’s very good. The only thing that can be praised about it is its authenticity. Sha Lan, Ting, Zhou Zhou, Yang Yang, Ni Ba, and others are all my real-life friends. The only exception is "Nightmare," which is fictional—they represent the state of life in my mind. If some parts seem exaggerated or overly realistic, my friends, if you see them, please forgive me. —Forgetting the Forgotten. When I grow old, I can open them up and reminisce. Maybe you can consider it a diary. Page by page, like a steady stream of water. —Author’s Preface
