September 1st of that year was my happiest day, because I could finally leave the countryside and come to the county town to study. I had prepared for this day for three years, so the first day I went to school to register, the sky was very blue. I looked at the scenery flying backwards outside the car window. I knew that I had said goodbye to my hometown and came to the county town a hundred miles away to start my new school life. I was full of expectations and yearning, and I felt very happy.
