Author Zhang Hongjie interviewed current students from ten prestigious universities in three major cities—Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

On the same journey of youth, we meet and share. To know oneself, one needs a reference point. Without understanding others' life paths, it is difficult to choose one's own. Can the troubles of growing up, the confusion about the future, and the loss of direction be committed to? Is commitment necessary? When faced with commitment, does beautiful youth become fragile or strong? The experiences of these top university students during their college life may provide guidance and inspiration for countless young people. Their shining youth may illuminate the path ahead.
Over the four years, more than 1,400 days have passed, with you and me. Let us still remember those beautiful stories, those with known or unknown endings, and relive the profound flavors of youth.
