As the graduation season approaches, we decided to use "Finding Life at the Next Crossing" as the theme of this special graduation issue.

Many friends who graduated this year were born at the intersection of two centuries - at the end of the old century or the first year of the new century. Together they walked into the maze of the times, turning, and turning again.

Similarly, we have also encountered and will encounter many intersections: travel, clubs, study, graduate school or work, stay or leave. Sometimes we get to decide our own direction, sometimes not.

The content of this special graduation issue is the "intersection" stories of several friends who graduated this year.

Graduation is the last intersection of four years of college. Will they ever have a moment when they are "forced to turn" at the intersection they have walked? At what points do they make their own decisions? How do they want to face the continuous changes that have occurred or have not yet occurred?

I wish you find life at the next intersection, you will be happy, you will.

01 To me five years ago and to me ten years later

article | Daniel Wu’s fugitive wife

When writing a certain paragraph in this article, Music software suddenly placed in " for me in ten years, " written by Huang Weiwen . In the headphones, Fiona Sit sang softly and quietly, "Can the things you have done in the past ten years make you proud without regrets? What you believed in at that time has not been shaken." Suddenly he was about to shed tears. I remember once seeing a netizen saying that the content of her graduation thesis was the study of Cantonese songs. During the defense, the teacher asked if there was a Cantonese song that was composed of questions. Her answer was this song "To Me in Ten Years" .

During the days of my internship in Guangzhou, I always felt that no matter what, the future should not be so bad. I rented a house in an urban village with my friends. On summer nights, we sang in bars in Xiaozhou, racking our brains to find repertoire that we both knew, and finally searched for " Beijing welcomes you ". We sang and sighed, the lyrics were so well written: "Welcome another morning", "The door of my house is always open, open to the world", "Everyone in the world is a friend, please don't be polite", "The charm in the flow is full of vitality".

02 On a crowded cross street

Text | Li Xinran

For me, walking into a crowded intersection has taken up a lot of courage and energy. The pain of thinking about where to go next, whether to go straight or turn, and what kind of transportation to use. These confusing questions are only faced by those who are determined to set off.

03 The infinitely delayed farewell

article | Every choice in our changes. To this day, "Loss and Change" is indeed the main theme of my senior year, and "Trying to Believe in Hope" is also my main theme. We may eventually face countless partings, but we still have something that has not been lost, if we always believe so.

Just like what is said in the preface of the special graduation issue, "In the past two years, Snowman has encountered a lot of 'faint thunder' and 'unknown coming'." Maybe you and I are like this.

This year’s graduation issue is a bit late. Due to the epidemic, we have to distribute the publication online in electronic form again. Considering that everyone has different Internet usage habits, we have prepared multiple channels for everyone: Douban Reading , Baidu Netdisk, Normal University Cloud Disk, and Kingsoft Documents for everyone to choose freely.

Finally, I hope we can still remember our life three years ago, and also hope that , we can have the life we ​​had three years ago again.
