The First Order for a Freshman Majoring in Architecture, the Customers Are All Ghosts

Shen Yan, 19 years old, is a freshman majoring in architecture. Her biggest wish is to stop asking her family for living expenses. In the third week of school, he received a low-cost decoration order from the campus part-time job group: repairing the B-17 dormitory on the old campus for 800 yuan, with only one requirement - don't touch the mirror at the end of the corridor. The problem was, the B-17 had been scrapped twelve years earlier. Shen Yan went anyway. Because he saw a door in the ruins that only existed on the floor plan. Behind the door lived a group of "night students" who failed to graduate. They order takeout, grab public bathrooms, and complain about counselors. The only difference is: no one can see them during the day. Shen Yan discovered that in the architectural drawings he drew, he could see "rooms that shouldn't exist" in the space, and he could also solve the anomalies by changing the movement lines. But every wrong design adds an extra layer to the building. In order to keep this group of non-human residents and earn his first living expenses, he and his classmates in the dormitory established a campus night maintenance studio. The first order is from a ghost dormitory, the second order is from a study room that eats away memories of failed exams, and the third order is from the never-completed auditorium on the ground floor of the school. And Shen Yan saw his name on a construction drawing from twenty years ago. Purpose: 1. The demolished spaces once held real life. Old dormitories, old libraries and old auditoriums are not simply "haunted houses". They preserve the failures, friendships, regrets and unfinished words of generations of young people. The story uses "space maintenance" to discuss: when the city is constantly being updated, whether those people and memories that have been pushed to the corner by the times are still worthy of being seen. 2. Professionalism is not a label, but a way for a young person to build self-confidence. Shen Yan is not an invincible genius at the beginning. He just knows how to draw pictures, observe, and is willing to put classroom knowledge into practice. The architecture profession transforms from a "potentially useless homework" into a problem-solving tool, responding to young readers' real feelings about professional choice, employment anxiety, and self-worth. 3. Growth is not about becoming stronger alone, but about finally having someone willing to carry it together. The main emotion is not a single love, but the trust gradually formed between the dormitory, teammates and non-human residents. Shen Yan has grown from "an ordinary freshman who just wants to earn enough living expenses" to someone who is willing to fight for a place for a group of people who have no daytime status. 4. The sense of youthful survival under the shell of light fantasy. The story retains the lightness, suspense and small-scale excitement. At the same time, it touches on young issues such as identity anxiety, graduation pressure, family expectations, urban renewal and "Have I left any traces?", Without making the work heavy realism.
