At Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST), a saying once circulated: If someone can walk with you along Road No. 3 to the end, then they can walk with you through the rest of your life.

Four years in Nanjing sped by like a train, and now we’ve reached the platform. Looking back at those days of falling plane tree leaves and gentle moonlight, it feels like a dream I never wanted to wake from. Though I never met that special someone to walk Road No. 3 with me, I was fortunate enough to be an observer and witness to many beautiful stories.
