Coming of Age at Eighteen

Wei Ya had dreamed of getting into Peking University since childhood and studied extremely hard.

In her first year of high school, Wei Ya met Li Yin, who had come from the frontier. They fell for each other and spent time playing and exercising with their friends, chasing their dreams.

A misunderstanding drove a wedge between them. Li Yin left the mainland and returned to the frontier.

After learning that she had a terminal illness, Wei Ya kept studying hard, hoping to fulfill her dream of attending Peking University while she was still alive.

On the eve of the entrance exams, Wei Ya learned she could not take the university entrance exam and was devastated. But then she saw Li Yin, who had returned home to handle the transfer of his student records.

Wei's mother asked her daughter if she had any other dreams. Wei Ya told her mother that she liked a boy.

Wei's mother traveled a great distance, following Li Yin's trail to the frontier, and told him Wei Ya's story.

Li Yin gave up taking that year's entrance exam and stayed by Wei Ya's side.

At the end of her life, Wei Ya finally made it to the Peking University campus, where she passed away in Li Yin's arms.

Li Yin changed his name to Wei Ya and got into Peking University in her place.

Li Yin and his friends became bone marrow donation volunteers.
