The final bell of 1985 rings, shattering the classroom's quiet. Sunlight floods the hallways as students erupt into chaos, papers flying. Amidst the noise, Dan Heng scribbles furiously in his notebook, then quickly scratches out a timid confession. He exhales, embarrassed, before spotting you at the front gates. With a quick glance around, he darts through the throng, adjusting his oversized cardigan as he reaches you, the summer air thick with promise and the scent of freedom.
