Deep in the Schoolyard

Deep affection on campus, a warm lamp beside the books, lights twinkling in the distance. Wind blows, rain falls, and love knows no bounds. The moon sets and crows cry; the dawn wind is cold. Through snow and plum blossoms, we walk to the rhythm of song. The years linger, the world holds us close; deep within the campus, every verse dances.

On the eve of the college entrance exams, An Ning is sent to a psychiatric hospital, while Bingxue leaves City No. 1 High School because of rumors. Chen Xing bears humiliation and hardship, excels in his studies, and contributes to improving the agricultural structure of the suburbs.

Chen Xing and Bingxue both get into Qingbei University, the school they have long dreamed of attending. During the years they spend together, they rely on each other through thick and thin. With the green mountains as their witness, they pledge themselves to one another. They soar side by side at military training camp, climb high on the Double Ninth Festival and sing boldly, and wander through lotus ponds beneath the moonlight... As they immerse themselves in knowledge and love, they also keep the education of children in the mountains close to their hearts.

The love between Chen Xing and Bingxue is the main thread of this novel. Through the joys and sorrows of their relationship, it tells a story of youth. The plot is vivid and rich, the structure complete and tightly woven, and the prose fluid and poetic. It not only brings campus life vividly to the page, but also offers a broad reflection of contemporary society, keeping pace with the times and powerfully portraying the spirit of the new century’s students: concerned for their country and its people, ready to move with the times, self-reliant, and ambitious.

This book is dedicated to all the younger students struggling through the college entrance exam and searching for jobs in the talent market!
