- Participating in the Chinese Department's intellectual competition, I forgot which prize I won, and the prize was given to my fellow villager Zheng Renxiang.
- One night, walking on Qingdao Road next to the school with Gao Baoling, we talked about the Korean War. I said China won, and she said, "If I had a gun now, I would shoot you."
- Gao Baoling invited me to dinner at Jinling Hotel. She said I could bring someone along, thinking I would bring a male classmate like Lu Jun. Instead, I brought Dong Jingping. She ordered three beef burgers with pancakes on top and bottom, and a thick layer of minced beef in the middle (pressed), which was very delicious. Then she ordered a fruit platter for herself, and I used chopsticks to eat the fruits in her plate, sharing with her while Dong Jingping watched.
When it was time to pay, the waiter came to her, she took out her wallet to pay, the waiter went to the front desk, and later returned the wallet to her. She just put it away without looking at it.
Later, Dong Jingping told me that she asked if he was my girlfriend. - Gao Baoling and I went to the second-hand bicycle market to sell her bicycle. When we went, we each rode a bike, sold one, and on the way back, we rode together on one bike. At first, I rode with her, but she was tall and robust, and I couldn't handle her weight, so we switched and she rode with me. A man whistled at us.
- Once I took a passenger bus from Nanjing to Jurong, found Xu Qian, who was already working in a shopping mall. I borrowed her bicycle to ride back to my hometown, without considering her work schedule.
- During the winter break of the first year, there was a high school classmate gathering. Teacher Fu talked about communication, and Teacher Ji asked me to speak. I mentioned my thoughts were wandering, my studies were like a novel, and my sports performance was just passing, which made them laugh. Guan mentioned my birthday, so I shared stories about Teresa Teng and Xu Zhimo. Liu Hui laughed and asked Zhang Aiqin for her address, who later changed her name to Zhang Qi. Liu Hui said I had changed, and I replied that change is good. Guan prepared a cake for my birthday and brought it, which surprised me. Later, they danced, played cards, and Hong Xin told me she had to leave. I asked Guan to divide the cake into 16 pieces for everyone to share. I bid farewell to everyone and went to the evening self-study with Hong, Du Xiaoyan, Jiang Liping, and others. As I lay in bed, I felt truly happy. Xu Qian, so beautiful, so lovely.
- During the 1989 democracy movement, I once raised my hand in class and told the teacher I wanted to go see the big-character poster. He said, "Go ahead," so I openly skipped class to see the big-character poster.
- Once, Gao Baoling and I went to the school's radio station (which had been occupied by democracy movement students). Gao took out 10 yuan to give to the students inside, but I stopped her, and the students didn't take the money. Gao gave me a lot of fabric, and I made two banners for the students, taking the rest home to make clothes for my mom during the break.
- Once in Fei Jialing's dormitory for international students, she was lying on the bed, and I lay down with my head on her stomach. She said, "Don't get too comfortable."
