The architectural genius **Yu Huai** has a secret.
In the corner of the drawings of all his award-winning works, there is a signature with the word "star" that is almost erased.
No one knew that those were the traces left by his college roommate **Qi Xing** - a sunny boy from the music department, who was like a meteor that suddenly passed through his life, brilliant and short-lived, but changed his universe forever.
In 2013, due to a mistake in the dormitory allocation at NTU, the rigorous and aloof Yu Huai and the free-spirited Qi Xing became roommates. From quarrels in the piano room to hugs on rainy nights, from interdisciplinary competitions to the national stage, when Yu Huai finally learned to use the sound of the piano to think about architectural curves, Qi Xing gave him a box of origami stars on his birthday:
"Tear one off every year, and wait until the last one is removed..."
The boy's unfinished promise ended with the long and harsh sound of the hospital's ECG monitor.
Twelve years later, when Yu Huai stood on the podium of the concert hall named after "Stars", a reporter asked why there was no commemorative nameplate in the entire building. He looked at the artificial river of stars flowing on the dome, and remembered what Qi Xing once said:
"The real memorial is not a stone monument. It is that every time you miss me, the world shines for me."
Intention: 1. Dialectical thinking about "transience and eternity"; 2. About the collision and integration of "rationality and sensibility"; 3. Profound propositions about "remembrance and forgetting";. Philosophical discussion about "fate and choice"
