I grew up in a rural area and had never left the city before going to college.

It was only in college that I slowly saw the outside world.

still remember when I first started college, I was so excited because I could start my life again.

There are no familiar classmates on the university campus. This may seem scary to many people, but it seems new to me. It means that I can choose to be myself again, without worrying about the judgment of people I know, and to bravely do what I want to do.

What you look like in front of your new classmates is what you look like.

In college, there is no need to feel timid. You just need to realize that there are so many people on the college campus, and no one knows me anyway.

Therefore, I would pretend to be very confident, but slowly, I was really deceived by myself.

During the summer vacation of my freshman year, I went to Shanghai for the first time, that city called "Magic City".

The place where my parents work is in the suburbs of Shanghai and is not very prosperous. Until that day, my parents took the time to take me to see the Oriental Pearl Tower.

took the bus for about an hour and a half.

As soon as I got off the bus, I was trapped by the surrounding buildings. The bright and clean buildings towered into the sky.

Standing on the overpass, the famous Oriental Pearl Tower is right in front of me. I didn't feel happy because I saw the Oriental Pearl Tower. Instead, I felt a lot of dullness.

People come and go on the overpass, walking in a hurry. Some are here for tourism, and some are people who work here.

Even though I was dressed appropriately, I always felt like I could be seen through.

Others marvel at the beauty of the Oriental Pearl Tower, but I want to know what the inside of the Oriental Pearl Tower is like, when will I have the opportunity to go in, and what is it like to look out from the inside.

There is a shopping mall next to the Oriental Pearl Tower, and I can see the people inside. As for me, I like shopping in shopping malls the most. Even if I don’t buy anything, I can still have fun shopping.

But this time I felt timid and I didn't dare to go in.

may be afraid that he is not worthy of being here, or may be afraid because he is nothing. For the first time, I felt inferior to a place.

I know exactly what it is to have low self-esteem. Apart from money, I feel inferior to my own merits. I didn’t go to a prestigious school and I don’t have any talents.

Finally, we went to the Bund and looked at the Bund across the Huangpu River.

Looking at the Bund from the Huangpu River, the Bund seems to be covered with a layer of gold, shining brightly. It attracts people to go and stops them.

Cruise ships on the river swam past me from time to time, and the Bund in front was only separated by the Huangpu River. For me, getting there is thousands of miles away.

This side of the Huangpu River was also very lively, with tourists taking photos and passers-by enjoying the cool air...

I suppressed my inner thoughts. My parents and I had a great time, even if we didn't buy anything.

I know that you have to fight for what you want by yourself. I will not complain about others, nor will I be jealous of those who are born rich. Everyone has their own life path to follow.

This trip gave me new ideas about this city called "Magic City". I have seen the prosperity and longed for it. No matter what the future holds, it will eventually take root in my heart.
