Time flows by like water.
This year.
Yin Le's music team, with their talent and hard work, overcame all obstacles in the national campus music competition and finally achieved the outstanding result of third place, which shocked the entire school.
Not long after, Ms. Yin resigned and left.
On the day I left, sunlight streamed through the windows of the multi-functional room, casting a soft glow on the black piano.
Outside the window, a gentle breeze rustled through the sycamore trees on campus, their leaves whispering tales of parting sorrows.
Ms. Yin Le, dressed in an elegant long dress, sat quietly beside the piano. Her slender fingers gently pressed the keys, and a moving melody, "The Last of the Mohicans," flowed out slowly.
The music contained a touch of reluctance and worry, like threads of silk entwining people's hearts.
The classroom door was crowded with students who came to say goodbye. They stood there quietly, their eyes fixed on Teacher Yin Le.
Some students had tears glistening in their eyes, while others bit their lips tightly, trying hard to control their emotions.
Everyone longed to see this beautiful teacher one last time, to etch her image into their minds, and to remember the wonderful musical moments she had given them.
Ms. Yin Le's long hair swayed gently with the music, and she wore a faint, warm, and gentle smile, as if she were recalling the moments she had spent with her students.
As the last note faded, the multi-functional room fell into complete silence.
A moment later, the students spontaneously burst into applause, the applause as loud as thunder, filled with their deep respect and best wishes for Teacher Yin Le.
Teacher Yin Le stood up and bowed deeply to the students.
When she looked up, she didn't see Liu Feng in the crowd. The words she wanted to say to Liu Feng were swallowed back down. Then she turned and left, leaving behind only a beautiful and unforgettable silhouette.
Li Yu and several girls chased after her, tears still streaming down their faces.
Afterwards, some people said that Yin Le left home to marry a rich second-generation, while others said that Yin Le resigned to go north to pursue his musical dreams.
Various rumors circulated on campus, but none could be verified.
Those students who were taught by Teacher Yin Le always remember that sunny day and the moving pieces that Teacher Yin Le played whenever they pass by the multi-functional room.
One boy wrote a poem about this and posted it on the school's cultural wall, which resonated with many students:
You are a musical sprite.
Let the wings of melody dance on campus.
That black piano is your magic wand.
The music of youth begins, shining brightly.
On the national stage, glory shines.
Leading students to pursue their musical dreams.
But turning around leaves behind endless sorrow.
The elegant long dress is as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
Sunlight falls on the piano keys,
The notes flowed, and reluctance lingered in my heart.
A gentle breeze rustled through the sycamore trees.
It seems to be expressing the sorrow of parting.
...
The flowers on campus bloom and wither, bloom and wither again, through the cycle of seasons, but the memories left by Teacher Yin Le are etched in the hearts of many students.
Like a poem or a painting.
Later music teachers could never replicate the charisma and charm of Teacher Yin Le. The multi-functional classroom returned to its former quiet, now devoid of the figures of Li Yu and other music lovers, and their youthful voices.
Studies have become increasingly busy, and everyone is going all out to prepare for the college entrance examination.
That summer, Liu Feng's family anxiously awaited Liu Yue's college entrance examination results. He Qunfang and her maternal grandmother even made a special trip to a temple to pray for Liu Yue's excellent results.
When the news finally came that Liu Yue had been admitted to Jiangcheng University, the whole family was overjoyed.
In Liucun, a grand banquet kicked off in a lively atmosphere.
The biggest impact of Liu Yue's admission to university was not on her parents and grandparents, but on her second aunt, Liu Xiaoling's mother.
She has always held the traditional view of favoring sons over daughters, believing that daughters will eventually belong to another family, and therefore does not value them.
However, seeing Liu Yue actually get into university and He Qunfang's smug and happy expression filled her with envy.
She began to regret her previous prejudiced behavior. Perhaps, her daughter was her most cherished little angel, someone who could bring her honor.
It was only then that the second aunt began to care about her daughter and asked about Liu Xiaoling's academic performance for the first time.
Liu Yue's admission to Jiangcheng University in this year's college entrance examination surprised her teachers and classmates. If they knew about Zhang Kaitai's influence in his hometown of Jiangcheng, it wouldn't be surprising.
Entering a prestigious university through the national college entrance examination is only one path. For example, the proportion of students admitted through the national college entrance examination to Tsinghua University and Peking University is only about 40%.
The other half of the students were admitted through other enrollment channels, including the Strong Foundation Program, the Self-Reliance Program, and the National Special Program.
On the day of enrollment, Uncle Zhang brought Liu Yue, along with Liu Changqing and He Qunfang who came to see them off.
On this day, Liu Yue was overjoyed. Stepping into the university of her dreams, she instantly fell in love with the place. The beautiful scenery described in Li Bai's poem couldn't help but appear in her eyes: "Plum blossoms fall in Jiangcheng in May..."
So beautiful!
