Journal to the stars

I gave up my dream before coming to Peking University.

But I consider myself pretty lucky.

If I was cast in a TV show, I’d be the one who dies in the second episode.

To reach for a star, you first need a ladder.

You also need something to pick up the star as it is really hot and will burn your hands.

-I want to study Astronomy.

-Astronomy? What is that good for? Damn it!

I grew up poor.

I’m not good looking and my life’s dream is a joke.

From this day on, I’m not going to be a joke anymore.

Peking University is going to be a new beginning.

I’m studying at China’s most prestigious university.

I am surrounded by the most amazing teachers and classmates.

I study Economics.

I got tuition wavier from the school and I am working my way through college.

My new life is going to be a list that’s all been checked.

So how do we define a person? Not by where he comes from but by where he is going.

I’ve tried forgetting about those silly stars but the problem is Peking University has countless classes you can just walk into at any time.

Countless classes for countless dreams.

I find myself occasionally going to the Astronomy classes as a reward.

The universe is infinite in its vastness. Infinite?

-Hey, what’s your major?

-Professor, I don’t major in Astronomy.

-Come over here. Come and give me a hand with some time.

To infinity and beyond!

You dream of reaching for the stars? Nice!

Have you considered changing your major to Astronomy?

-I promised my dad to get a job as soon as I graduate and help with debts at home.

Astronomy is just a dream I can’t afford. People think it’s a joke.

-A joke?

Well then, let’s have a laugh about it then.

Come on laugh with me!

Finished laughing? So what?

For over a hundred years now, people like us work their way up despite the laughter of others.

Under the encouragement of Professor Wang, I minored in Astronomy.

Professor Wang once said, PKU is the only place in China where you don’t have to worry about being laughed at.

Thanks, but the stars are not for me.

I’m sick of all the laughter.

Age 18

When my mother died wo ended up with a lot of debt. I changed my major to Economics.

If a dream was a suit of clothes, then Astronomy would be a brand that I couldn’t afford to wear.

Reading all those books ging to get you paid?

People like me are never dealt a good hand.

We just have to play with the cards we get.

I need to learn to face reality.

What the hell are you reading? Didn’t you hear me nerd?

Apologize immediately! You can’t treat the customers like this!

The girl of my dreams moved to America with her family. I didn’t get to say goodbye.

If you can’t give the woman you like a castle to live in, you should just leave her alone and give up.

Sick for a week with the flu, I was ranked first in my Economics class and my Astronomy essay won a Winter Camp prize, but I still didn’t go.

Peking University is really like the magical ladder I dreamt of as a child and help me see the forest for the trees.

I was offered an opportunity to continue studying Astronomy for a Master Degree.

Professor Wang asks for my decision.

-You can join the Astrophysics graduate thesis project along with students in our major.

If you succeed in winning the hearts of the judges on stage, you will get a postgraduate
