If it weren't for everything indicating that the story started at that time, I would never have imagined that the senior year of high school in the hardest hit area for the college entrance examination would be so turbulent for me. The legendary endless self-study sessions in the morning and evening, and the legendary endless comprehensive examination papers in Chinese, Mathematics and Physics all seemed so thin, and they were relegated to a supporting role in my mind in just a flash. And the large-scale smudged story seems incompatible with the senior year of high school.
It was August 2013, and I had just entered my senior year of high school.
