Not a wish-fulfillment story. A realistic slice of everyday life, inspired by real experiences.

The two boys on the rooftop fell silent for a while. Maybe they both wanted a moment of peace, or maybe they were each lost in thought.

Suddenly, a familiar melody came over the school broadcast.

It was “The Wind Is Rising.” In an instant, the whole school seemed to come alive. The first- and second-year high school students still studying for evening classes opened their windows, while the graduates gathered on the plaza, some shouting and others cheering.

“Walking on, stopping now and then, following the traces left by a drifting youth.”

Everyone sang along, including Lin Muxun and Ke Yuzhou on the rooftop.

For this year’s graduating class, the first half of their youth, their high school years, was about to draw to a close.

After twelve years of hard study, wasn’t the joy of seeing their names on the honor roll exactly what they had hoped for?

The three years of high school might have brought regrets, helplessness, confusion, and loneliness. But in this moment, surely everyone felt only excitement and anticipation for the future.

The summer-night breeze grew stronger as “The Wind Is Rising” played. Few realized how many people this wind would scatter, or what stories it would bring.

The past was past, old memories laid to rest, dead trees blossoming anew, and the future had arrived.
