That Class, That Year

I'm An Ze. I was timid and weak from a young age, with an extremely introverted personality. The message my family drilled into me was to study hard and keep striving. After three years of kindergarten and six years of elementary school, I worked hard toward becoming an exemplary student. The year I turned eleven, I entered middle school, and my whole life changed.

For many teenagers, middle school is where youth begins: innocent, pure, sunny, and full of passion.

But my middle school life changed completely after I met them. I gave up studying and started hanging around school with my brothers... I would take a knife for my brothers and spill my blood for my girlfriend.

This book records and celebrates the youth we have lost. Let us shout our motto: Brothers for a moment, brothers for life!
