When he saw the artificial satellite streaking across the sky, an idea popped out of his mind: he wants to build a rocket, and I get a scholarship to go to college, so that I can change my destiny. He did what he said, and invited three of his friends to make it together. They first made a "monkey" and added a lot of gunpowder to it. They thought they could fly for several miles, but they ended up putting his mother in Xin'an. There was a big hole in the fence. But they were not discouraged.

    The old lady in the American film class showed us the movie, and she asked us to write down the movie we wanted to see on a note. I wrote "the legend of 1900", but he asked me if I had seen it. I said I did and wanted to rewatch it. I still haven't played this video. Sometimes I think of the tenth floor of Zhiyuan Building, and I can still think of a part of her college life.
