Features: In her eighteenth year, the author was during the college entrance exam. After the exam, no matter the result, she had at least bid farewell to a period of gloomy and oppressive life. At eighteen, as the beginning of her new life, she hoped to bid farewell to her less-than-satisfactory past in a ceremonial way, a kind of "rite of passage." At the invitation of her friends Yangyang and Maomao, she went to Lugu Lake with them. The final result of the exam landed in Beijing. The author is now studying at the Literature Department of the People's Liberation Army Arts Academy. This choice was made after she spent an afternoon facing the lake by the Lugu Source, contemplating deeply.
