This series is edited by Cao Wenxuan, a professor, doctoral supervisor, and renowned writer at Peking University, with contributions from students at Peking and Tsinghua Universities. These passionate students from the prestigious universities of Peking and Tsinghua have compiled and edited personal diaries, essays, letters, and compositions from their middle and university years. Unlike the usual "experience sharing" or "valedictorian guides," these candid writings have become authentic testimonials to their true personalities and private youth—including the thrill of a girl's heartbeat, the joy of meeting a soulmate, the secret smiles when dealing with parents and teachers, and the sudden thoughts of dropping out. These beautiful youth memories are ones that everyone has experienced, is experiencing, or will experience. Youth is just like this! Unfettered and unpretentious, these young talents freely pour out their emotions, express their insights, vent their frustrations, confide their sorrows, and give honest confessions about their growth journeys. They share the dreams they have chased, the people they have loved, the tears they have shed, the nights they have studied by candlelight. The struggles they have faced, the difficult choices they have made, the vibrant energy they possess, and the infinite possibilities before them—Is your youth like this?
