The moving melodies of the deep campus, the romanticism by the side of Lake Wuming, the inner monologues of Peking University students.
The diary, as a genre, is largely about the personal and deeply intimate aspects of the heart, experiences, and reflections. The diaries of young people are inevitably linked to growth, exploration, emotions, and sentiments. The diaries of Peking University students are destined to reflect the glory and dreams of high-achieving scholars, the growth journeys of countless students, the moving melodies of relentless pursuit deep within the campus, and of course, the romanticism by the side of Lake Wuming, as well as the inner dialogues between boys and girls.
This collection includes the diaries of 36 Peking University students, spanning from 1990 to 2000. Naturally, the content focuses on the campus lives of young talents who studied at the campus over the past decade. The words presented here clearly show the zero-distance vibrancy of youth, an aspect that novels, poems, and other artistic processing cannot replicate. These texts present the process of growth in a very direct way, unveiling the mysteries of development, making it visible, tangible, audible, and perceptible, no longer veiled or distant.
