It was September 6, 2012, the first day I reported to Shanxi University. In the years to come, I have passed the intersection of Xuefu Street countless times, and never found the original feeling. The reason is not surprising, because the first time I mistook the building across the street from the school for the school building.
The new students reported to the reception of my sophomore sister in the same department, both gentle and beautiful, she saw my enrollment information, exclaimed "hometown", I heard almost tears, but in the way of the presence of Mom and Dad, so pretend to be more strong. Sister to lead me through all kinds of formalities, and finally led to the dormitory, not waiting to sit down, she took out the neat bedding from the cupboard, ready to make the bed for me; as an 18-year-old hot-blooded teenager, to see this situation can not help but feel a sentence, "I rub, how can a man bother the girl's hands," so I asked the sister to let go of her hand, stand to the side, and by the way, to appreciate the high school to live independently. The first thing I'd like to say is that I don't want to be a part of it, but I'd like to be a part of it, and I'd like to be a part of it.
Shanxi University, located in Taiyuan, before this I do not have any firm ideals must come to Shanxi, just fill in the will a little bit of fate. Because I like pasta, so do not want to go to the south; because I read high school in Xi'an, so the university must go out of the province; because I do not like mega-cities, so will not go to Beijing. When you do the math like this, there aren't many schools in the entire north that you can apply to.
Before I came to Taiyuan, I was worried about the environment, which is said to be heavily polluted with many coal mines. So I stared at the acceptance letter of the environmental program, thinking that this is a chess match ah! The ear recalls the great man's call, "Young people, to the motherland where you are most needed!"
But when I put my chest out and took a K train to get here, I realized that I had overthought it.
After the start of the school had heard more than one teacher looked back fondly - remember that it was the first snow in 2002, I was as young as you guys, wearing a white shirt, walking on the campus of the coal ash sub full of flying, and go home at night became a gray shirt, if you have enough courage, and then insist on wearing a day, the next night then it would become a black shirt. However, this all changed from 2008, in order to meet the Beijing Olympics, Shanxi vigorously rectify coal mine pollution, so that you now see the blue sky and white clouds, almost no haze all year round, you see a few cities in the North China Plain can do?
This is after I watched the Olympic Games on TV in 08 years after another realization of the greatness of the Olympic spirit, it turns out that after graduation to find a job, I not only have to face the peer competition of environmental resources professionals, and most likely will also be challenged by the graduates of the College of Physical Education. The university is really a magical place.
It's good that the teachers were so forward-thinking and noticed the serious employment situation. So, the freshman enrollment just started, my young like a senior, valiant and valiant counselor teacher, on our level of high expectations, but also doubly cared for, in order to prevent break free from the high school bondage of our playthings to do whatever they want, so he asked us to go to the college or playground every morning morning morning reading, the evening to go to the college on the self-study, the class committee to supervise the signing of the arrival and signing of the exit.
The practical significance of this strong policy has two sides, on the one hand, in the teacher's opinion, in order to continue the high school captive style, can make the students to find the familiar feeling of secondary school, followed by a relatively smooth completion of the transition to the university. On the other hand, it reinforces the primacy of learning in the colorful college life that is about to begin. Only things do not go as expected, when our class to the vigorous discipline to start college life, and other colleges and universities students free colorful contrast, I remember some other faculty students also asked me, to the effect that "the same twelve years, you how to show?"
So in a strong mass mood, the counselor counted on his fingers, 21 days should be enough, the seeds of habit have been sown to the children's hearts, in order to ease the mood of the students, so he declared bankruptcy of the morning self-study program. However, the counselor insisted on the evening study hall, and insisted on it for a whole year. The first time I saw this is when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley, and it was the first time I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley, and it was the first time I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley.
In general, the university is still quite free. I remember the early days of my freshman year, the cars and pedestrians are very slow, the network communication is also very slow, I did not buy a laptop, so every weekend I disappeared for an afternoon, run to the Internet cafe Internet.
The Internet cafe a lot of people, sitting in the front row of a group of teams playing dota, wearing a headset staggering; the back is a few play CS, and from time to time smashed the keyboard; not far from the window, sitting in front of a little girl, just the age of middle school students, open the video and the screen of the boys chatting, and then gleefully giggle, and then angry and sad. The sadness and joy of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy. Noisy to the point that I listen to Jay to concentrate on blogging, but also have to put up with never stop the smell of cigarettes, I grew up on the smoke hate to allergies, because my father does not smoke, so I was a smoke-free environment to grow up. Then on balance, I decided to break up with the scummy internet cafes for the sake of protecting my bronchial tubes. I have my own computer in my second year of college, and I haven't been to an Internet café since I graduated.
One of the main reasons why I had the time to go to an internet café in my first year of college is that I didn't participate in any clubs, or more accurately, I enrolled in two clubs, and I didn't go to any of them.
I remember the first semester of my freshman year, after the National Day holiday, in the Chumin Square, there is a powerful "hundred groups recruiting", good guy, this is more than the circus project, let a person dazzled and dazzling. It was like a public execution for me, who had a hard time choosing what to do. So I managed to miss out on my favorite clubs and flipped a coin to sign up for two random ones. And spent the first two subsequent events surveying the so-called club activities from afar. The result of the surveying was that I felt that a bunch of college students playing a bunch of balloons and games of unknown intent with no difficulty felt like they were just coming to college to find their childhood, and I didn't like it, so I excused myself.
In fact, the deeper reason is that coming to college free-agent, I'm instinctively wary of all organizations that are binding, especially when the cost of that binding is something I see as meaningless. This was true even in the dorms.
The dormitory is a four-person dormitory, our dormitory is quite strange, are from provinces other than Shanxi, so just into the university, life is not familiar, we are not consciously embracing the warmth of the group. Once a certain roommate unintentionally said, "Let's start tomorrow to occupy a seat together in class, go to the cafeteria together to eat it!" Hearing this, I was furious on the spot, and threw out his mouth, "If you want to make a small group, go ahead and do it yourselves, don't drag me along!" Throughout my freshman year I was almost outside the organization, leaving early and returning late, without much to say, so that when I was in my third year of college there was a dormitory late-night sleeper, a roommate commented on my freshman year, "I'm cold and unappealing," I think I'm not Liu Yifei, but that's not what they say, I'm "unapproachable. "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty!
The roommate's comment is very pertinent. Because the first year of college I put most of the energy into a very important thing, that is, "closed cultivation", ahem, translated into human language is, "to recognize the self". After entering the new environment of the university, everything is very comfortable, the years are quiet, but I have no warning to fall into "long-term depression" - I can not figure out, who am I? Why am I here? What am I going to do?
This is not an accident, but the result of eighteen years of pent-up frustration, which had been pushed along by the process of growing up, and which I hadn't had time to take into account. I began to peel off the cocoon to sort out my past, my childhood, my family, my temperament, my talent mission ...... This is a systematic project, by the "deconstruction" and "construction" of two major components.
So I threw myself into the library, looking for all possible answers, in order to shield the interference, I have no interest in the clubs, no interest in part of the course, no interest in making friends and talking about love. The effort was not enough. When spring came the next year, I thought I could step back into the sunlight.
The spring of Shanxi University is very beautiful, the college east of a large number of begonias, during the day, when the flowers are in full bloom, there are often girls strolling among them, not surprisingly, is in the photo shoot, the night is more hateful, a pair of couples during the snuggling, flowers before the moon, causing extreme discomfort to widows, and often have to go around.
The campus area is not too large, but the density of things can not be ambiguous, geography sense of self-conscious super strong, I also have to be half a month before familiar with most of the corners of the road. This is mainly due to the difference between the Wenying District and the Lingde District, coupled with the campus has a river and a lake also embedded in the park outside through the alleyway, what kind of impression will give people? This question also asked a friend of mine to answer, one year he came to play with me, I took him around the campus in May, the polytechnic college, he lamented a lot, "Why are there so many girls in your school? I've seen a lot of pretty girls today! Your school also has parks, winding paths, pavilions and corridors, this environment is too suitable for love! ......"
Well, I admit that one of the considerations in choosing Shanxi University is because it is a comprehensive university, with arts and sciences, arts and sports, and I personally think that such an environment helps to keep the body and mind in balance.
But spring also has a haunting, that is, the garden is full of flotsam, poplar and willow flakes can be floating to make you can not be interested in any idol drama special effects. It was a season that made the students of the Faculty of Arts come up with the phrase "a river of tobacco, full of flotsam and jetsam, plum yellow time rain".
In such a season, I am in love with the paulownia tree. In particular, the twelve fast dormitory building in front of the basketball court next to the Tingzijie intersection of the river, the tree into a shade, exceptionally tall, every spring, purple paulownia flowers hanging all over the tree, the fragrance can be compared with the three hundred meters away from the Tingde cafeteria. As I have expressed more than once on the love of paulownia, so that after graduation will also have to stay in graduate school old classmates to send me paulownia blossom photos, this scene this fragrance, I no longer need to worry about will be associated with the bronchitis of any relationship.
The summer in Taiyuan is very comfortable, because of the latitude and altitude, how comfortable can it be? There is no air conditioning in the student dormitories. There is no air conditioning in student dormitories because there is no need for it. The first thing you need to do is to get the right kind of air-conditioning. With the opposite dormitory a discussion, we all dormitory door and balcony door open, and then with the words of the old grandfather of Miyazaki Hayao, "wind"; school to each person issued a mosquito net, as long as you get used to the "curtain" on the good.
But if you go to interview the students of Shanxi University, which season is the most beautiful school? I'm sure the answer is most likely, fall.
The north of the fall comes early, September rainy, after the Fourth of July is an autumn rain a cold. Often, we will see this situation, woke up one night, out of the dormitory, full of gold wrapped in the ground, yesterday still hanging in the trees of the ginkgo biloba, was a night of wind and rain spread on the ground. It is really beautiful and stunning. I used to think that the fall is very bleak, but see the ginkgo of the University of Shanxi, yellow like song and dance, I think the ginkgo is so optimistic, all the trees withered, and she went against the grain, chose the most eye-catching gold and yellow.
Sophomore on the "Biology", the teacher took us to campus literacy wood, always flower blind I realized that every day I passed by these flowers and plants are not unusual, are carefully selected species. I was inculcated in the university of this point of consciousness, after graduation, directly developed into a male shame not to mention the habit: the womanizer. " Southern students look up to see the snow flying in the sky, and northern students look at the southern students dancing in the snow. This sentence can also be accurate as, the southern students skating and skiing on the ice, the northern students stood on the edge of Lake Linden with their hands in their pockets looking down at the flailing excitement mania.
Yes, it turns out that Lake Linde can be a lake for two purposes: spring, summer and fall seasons, is a normal lake, but also common people fishing; winter came, the lake ice I do not know a few feet, anyway, every year, people wearing skates skating on it. But I think that the lake is a little small, skating is not open, people think it's okay, anyway, brother skating is not ice, skating may be lonely, may be a training course with children.
One year the climate is more abnormal, this year must have a name: April 19, 2013 AD. Why is so impressive, and listen to me slowly. The day before the afternoon, the spring breeze and warm, there is a physical education class, that semester physical education is swimming, just from the swimming pool on the class, facing the warm sunset, the mood is particularly comfortable, in order to match with this comfortable mood, I was wearing a short-sleeved blowing the wind walking back to the dormitory. The next day, April 19th, I woke up and it was snowing outside.
May I ask what it means when the cherry blossoms are gone?
A, it means that the spring is going to pass, and the snowflakes are coming!
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world.
God this operation, but also very creative, but also understandable, this thought of the four seasons running more boring, so from time to time a bug to try to regulate the atmosphere, do not want to hand shaking regulate the climate.
It can be seen that, to regulate the atmosphere of such a thing, God is not reliable, and ultimately still have to play the human initiative. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and it was a very good one, so I thought I'd introduce it to the world.
As mentioned above, my room is full of four brothers, all of them are foreigners, the difference is quite big, how to unite together without losing politeness?
Attacking the heart as the top, ****ming as the middle, feeding as the bottom. What is the meaning of it, the next case to explain -
dormitory long Yang students, body length 187 centimeters, thin as ribs, Hebei Langfang people, heard this place name is not small, either the family fortune, or with great skill, after inspection and probing, unlike the temperament of the family fortune, that is, there is a great skill! Sure enough, after half a year of continuous netting, the New Year is approaching, this gentleman finally revealed the cracks - New Year's Day New Year's Eve, we are busy cutting the table to watch the four major satellite TV New Year's Eve concerts, Yang students guarded Tianjin TV to watch the Deyunshe's acoustic specials! I said that on weekdays, Yang Jun opened his mouth is the paragraph, colorful all have, dare to the New Year are charging practice.
Another habit of Yang Jun is to like to buy snacks, buy snacks and not eat to bring back to the dormitory, bring back to the dormitory is not immediately eat to be placed in a conspicuous position. This is simply provocative, can tolerate? No! Since Yang Jun is so thin always eat not fat, it is incumbent upon me to demonstrate for Yang Jun how to gain weight, in order to let him y realize that it is not the problem of people's snacks, but you eat snacks in an incorrect way.
So, the three of us set up a fattening help group, and together we taught and demonstrated for Yang Jun tirelessly. This is the story of "feeding for the next".
***Ming for the middle, it is very simple. Our dormitory are basketball fans, to be precise, Zhejiang Ye students did not start playing ball, but this gentleman organization awareness is very high, unlike me, "cold, unsympathetic", so also responded to the dormitory trend, in love with basketball, but also can pull themselves out, he likes the star is Chris Paul, now with the empire bravely spiked bayonet, so that this gentleman! He is now fighting with the Empire for the bayonet, so much so that this gentleman goes to work every day on tenterhooks and prays for Paul.
The reason it's a middle strategy is because it incorporates the next strategy. Our dormitory to watch the NBA game, that is to get together to see only interesting, just look can not ah, hands and mouth are quite idle, which directly pulls the Yang Jun's snacks purchasing program, and then take into account the graduation is far away, can not be squeezed too much, so we began to take turns to purchase the "melon seeds, ham and sausage instant noodles, who's legs to let a bit of ha", the train salesman, the first time I saw him in the morning. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money for the purchase of the product.
Now graduated from the four sides, the NBA game still have, but the brothers together to watch the game, only once, or in a certain everyone happens to be free on the weekend, while each watching the live attempt to brush the pop-up screen to say hello, while in the WeChat group to talk about the game.
The university dormitory is a very magical place, because of some kind of fate, from all corners of the world, the previous eighteen years of life without any intersection of the four people, to be in such close proximity together **** degree of four years, I have to say, this requires a certain amount of luck, but also need more skills. Friction and contradiction is bound to have, our dormitory is no exception, especially in the first two years, but this is normal, youth is supposed to be a rose with thorns, stabbing each other in pain in order to sympathize with each other, but the most crucial thing is that only when you see stabbing other people's wounds, you are willing to reflect on their own, everything will usher in a turnaround, and your reflection and transformation, believe me, will be another stabbing people keenly captured, from this From this moment on, in fact, you have reached some kind of **** knowledge.
Friendship in college can go a long way, in a way, because college is the last stop before entering society, like a bullet that is about to fly out of the chamber, college is the last section of the trajectory, even if the bullet flew away, and ultimately, it will not be biased to the point of speechlessness.
But this is limited to really close friendship, if there was no close, and each other away from what is strange. Here I have to once again mention the club, as long as it is not like me out of the ordinary operation, then please choose your favorite club, and actively involved in it, even if it does not achieve dazzling achievements, but this interest based on the process of free mutual integration, is priceless. From the time spent in a truly committed club, many long-lasting friendships will be born, and many people will reap the sour stench of love.
Once again, I admit, in fact, sophomore year I regretted not joining the club of choice, I wanted to go to the University of Mount Holyoke newspaper magazine, and in the end it did not work out. I want to join the bicycle association, I have my own car, car association activities are often attended, many friends also know, repeatedly moved but ultimately did not join. Once a rainy night, from the Wen Ying back to the Lingde dormitory, passing by the Arts Building behind the small radio station, the radio program that day is so beautiful, mainly because the voice of the anchorwoman is too good, talking about love and other emotional topics, I hit the umbrella under a certain roof, the dim street lamps illuminated by the rain,...... that is the deepest memories of the radio station of the University of the mountain.
Many years later you will miss the youth, miss those people in the youth, miss those people experienced youth.
The university is boring, but when youth meets the university, and then polytechnic institutions will become romantic. In college, you can only rely on the heart to like a person, this is the last chance, because outside the ivory tower, your like in the weighing of pros and cons in front of no sense of existence.
Before I went to college, I gave myself two rules: one is not allowed to myopia hunchback, two do not fall in love. As a matter of fact, I've done both. Some friends have asked why they don't fall in love. I said, the motherland has not yet been unified, and how can it be towards the end of the day.
Then you can guarantee that you will not be moved?
I can not.
So you still can't help but fall in love, right?
No.
No. I'll make myself ugly so that my will is stronger.
In college, I liked a girl for 3.5 years and didn't know her for those six months. The heartbeat was uncontrollable, it was just that I was never ready for love myself, so it could be considered a crush. If I brought her more hurt than happiness, then I'd rather not start. After that when I read that poem by Gu Cheng - "You don't want to plant a flower, you say, I don't want to see it fade a little. Yes, to avoid the end, you avoid all beginnings." --Yes, surnamed Gu, you are the one who talks too much.
Before I graduated, I decided to confess my love, which meant, "If you love someone, then you must tell her, not in order to ask her to repay, but so that when she denies herself in the dark days to come, she remembers that there are still people in the world who love her so much, and that she is not worthless."
So we had a few meals with each other, took a few walks, and she asked me what I couldn't figure out that I liked about her. I said I don't know oh so many points, if I knew exactly what I liked about you, then I would have a way to make myself not like you.
I know very well that after graduation we will be flying north and south. Love requires total luck, but sincerity, can build tacit understanding. Now we are friends with tacit understanding, this kind of tacit understanding as light as water, more precious than lovers for a long time.
Shanxi University gave me four years, as if there is a kind of light contentment.
Impression of many teachers, professor level, curriculum vitae results can be taken out to blind a square, but they will not publicize, and even extremely passers-by. Some teachers wear a duck-tongued cap, carry a thermos, ride an electric car to and from work, leave the classroom and blend into the crowd, disappearing in a moment.
Teachers come and go like the wind, but they are extremely kind, you must take the initiative to ask questions, they will be very patient for you to answer, and even look forward to such questions. But many times, often do not appear such questions. Therefore, the teachers left the class look, always faintly fond of.
Until today I still remember this look, but I have lost the opportunity to respond to the teachers.
Shanda is too quaint, until today, there is a heavy crossing.
My favorite location of Shanda, without a doubt, is the library. The building's exterior is European modern, echoing the landmark architectural form that existed a hundred years ago when the National Shanxi University was founded, but entering the interior of the library, that kind of chic temperament you can only find in another place, if you've ever been there, and that's the Shanxi Museum. Yes, the aura inside the library of Shanxi University, in my opinion, is just like the Shanxi Museum. That's something I've never encountered again in so many libraries in so many other cities.
Shanxi is too thick, so thick that people are full of misunderstanding. Shanxi is also too engrossed in its own time zone, often out of the blue, with the Taihang Mountains outside like two worlds. This kind of regional qualities, but also condensed in the body of Shanxi University.
Until today, it is difficult to recognize whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
The reason is good, because if a university can let you slow down, or even give you half a year to deconstruct the construction of their own time, the time flow, not too much competition is not too much to grab (or because of the competition is not), as long as you are willing to learn what you learn, nourishing you to grow, then such an environment, undoubtedly very close to the core of the university's purest.
But it's also a bad thing, because leaving the school gate is the reality that, outside of Shanxi, other people's eyes are full of misunderstandings. You have to adapt to the new time zone and run fast all the way.
But I still feel lucky, will be four years of youth in a university can slow down. In my past life, there were many people and things that spurred me to run faster, but there were very few that made me faintly willing to think about something.
Just like today I happened to see the words "117th anniversary of Shanxi University", what? The first time I saw it, it was a "7-year itch". My mind is still familiar with the "110th anniversary" ah, but that has been my first time to see the memory of the University.
