    How can I not think of her? VI. A Journey to the West for Field Research, A Star Falls in the Blue Clouds. In the summer of Jiaxu (1934), Ban Nong, in order to continue compiling "A New Score of the Four Tones" and "A Map of Chinese Dialects," led a team along the Ping-Sui Railway into Suiyuan and Mongolia, trekking across the wilderness under the scorching sun to record Mongolian and Chinese dialects. On the way, he was bitten by grasshoppers and contracted relapsing fever (Weil-Felix positive). After returning to Beijing, his condition suddenly worsened, and medicine proved ineffective. He died in Beiping on July 14th, at the age of forty-four. The tragic news shocked the academic world. Cai Yuanpei presided over the memorial service, and Hu Shi wrote a eulogy: "Shou Chang died tragically, Du Xiu was imprisoned, another old comrade of 'New Youth' is gone; his spirit of hard work, his humorous wit, none of his old friends do not remember Ban Nong." Lu Xun wrote "Remembering Liu Ban Nong," praising him as "lively, brave, and having fought several major battles," and adding, "If the previous ones can be considered 'shallow,' then the difficulties and setbacks are not as valuable as Ban Nong's 'shallowness.'" He was buried next to Biyun Temple in Xishan, and the inscription on his tombstone was written by himself before his death.

    In our school, the campus belle is practically a goddess—stunningly beautiful, with an exceptional aura, and most importantly, she's had zero scandals since entering the university, a true aloof and unattainable ideal. Countless people secretly swoon, yet can only admire from afar, feeling she's unattainable. I thought my university life wouldn't intersect with her much, until I stepped into the school gates, and the gears of fate began to turn wildly. During a club activity, by a twist of fate, we were assigned to the same group. Close contact with her, every smile and gesture of hers struck me deeply. After that, her gentle greetings when we bumped into each other on campus paths, the note she handed me when we sat next to each other in the library—each and every one of these things fueled a rapidly growing budding romance. My classmates' gazes towards me began to change, and various "analysis posts" about us appearing together quietly surfaced on the forum. My previously peaceful campus life was thrown into turmoil by her, and the "myth" of the campus belle's lack of scandals seemed about to be rewritten. Want to know how surprisingly adorable this aloof campus belle is in private? What's with those unintentional blushes and heart palpitations? [Laughs][laughs][laughs]
