Features: I'm in my senior year now, and my classmates and friends are busy as bees chasing their own futures. The once inseparable sisters now just give each other a quick nod and a few polite words before parting ways. The pressure, like an invisible net, tightens around me, making it hard to breathe. I clutch the book in my hands, look up at the gloomy sky, and it seems like it's about to rain again. This year's spring has been exceptionally rainy, giving the air of this usually dry northern city a hint of the dampness from the Jiangnan water towns. I'm just a little woman, greedy for comfort, wealth, beauty, and afraid of death; I'm just a little woman, with long hair but short sightedness, unable to bear the grievances of the nation or family; I'm just a little woman, with a bland temperament, cold and indifferent, born that way. As long as I live, there is hope—this is my eight-character maxim. So, I must live, and live well, at any cost.
