Qin Wan Ning wrote on the occasion of her PhD graduation: "We meet each other in the mountains and rivers, and the spring breeze blows in. I hope you will cherish it and drink wine in the cup of the full moon. I will always miss the days and friendship of sharing the same boat through thick and thin, and thank you for your companionship and help over the past four years. Everyone is not an island, and thank you for supporting and redeeming each other in the cold days. May all of us keep our original aspirations forever, and the flowers of idealism never wither!"
But she didn't expect that a series of events after graduation completely shattered her understanding of the friendship between classmates. Her former good friends became terrifying, the past became extremely ironic despite being vivid in her mind, and the flower of idealism finally turned into a sharp knife and pierced her heart.
"Why should I study for a Ph. D.? What's the point of studying for a Ph. D.? What have I done in the past four years, and what have I gained?" Qin Wan Ning repeated the questions she had thought about countless times when she had insomnia at night... It all started on the hot summer day in City A when she was transitioning from the second year of graduate school to the third year of graduate school.
