Features: Our Happy Time Together: We built forts out of books on our desks and used trigonometry to calculate the corners where teachers might appear and where their gazes would land. We analyzed the height of each teacher and, in the end, created a long list that told us which book to use to build the fort to the optimal height. I swear this was the hardest math problem we've ever done, but we still managed to complete it in a miraculous way. Watching Movies with Dad: From the beginning, I knew that Dad just thought I really wanted to see this movie and came to fulfill my wish. He didn't understand that what I truly wanted was to relive the old dream of watching movies with him as a child. Dad had already started not understanding me in some ways, just as I had started not understanding Dad. But sitting in the cinema, I clearly felt that I was happy. The Price of Growing Up: But when I saw my friends experiencing life in their own ways and walking their own paths, and when I, too, faced life and study in my unique way, I preferred to see this change as the growth of our generation. Since it's growth, there must be a price to pay. Golden Sunshine Flowing Through: On a midday in late autumn, sunlight slanted through my hair, and a warm golden glow instantly flowed over my entire body. I sat by the flower bed, holding a bright yellow orange in my hand, my legs swaying gently, feeling a bit light as if floating. In the vast campus, perhaps only the snail crawling under the grass at my feet shared this leisure time to enjoy the flowing sunlight like me. Zhongxue Shijie (Student World) is a middle school journal with millions of readers. Since its founding in January 1985, it has walked 20 years of youthful journey with its middle school friends. Our Happy Time Together collects the moments when teenagers gather and grow together in this world. We gather these fragments of time and dedicate them to more readers to (commemorate youth) and the happy times Zhongxue Shijie has shared with its readers, editors, and authors. Time flies, and some of the authors who wrote these words have already gone to university or entered society. But when we reread these youthful records, we still laugh, cry, and feel moved. As time passes, those happy times spent with family, friends, and youth have melted into the lives of those who have grown. We collect these fragments of time and dedicate them to more readers to (commemorate youth) and the happy times Zhongxue Shijie has shared with its readers, editors, and authors.
