Features: Some say contemporary middle school students are often contradictory. On one hand, with personalized faces, they begin to recognize themselves, confidently believing "I am who I am." On the other hand, in the dazzling and unavoidable life they must face, they sometimes feel lost, often asking, "Who can tell me, who am I?" Please combine your personal experiences of growing up, using "My Story" as the background, to share a real experience and feelings. The genre is unrestricted, and you may choose your own title. This book is a selection of winning works from the China Youth News "Dingxin Cup" and "Sanjing Cup" National Middle School Student Writing Competition (Third Season). It includes 126 selected works, including first, second, and third prize winners, carefully chosen from over 50,000 submissions. Each piece is followed by comments from judges such as Wang Meng, Yu Hua, Li Fuwei, and Che Qianzi, who are writers, scholars, and senior teachers. Unlike the first and second seasons, the essays of this season emphasize the contestants' faithful descriptions and heartfelt expressions of their specific lives. These stories, big and small, are filled with the purity, romance, and a touch of helplessness of youth—they include me, you, and everyone.
