Feb. 28 marked the 15th day of the Lunar New Year and the last day of Chinese New Year festivities. From my fourth-floor apartment on campus, I could see the city's fireworks by the river. Later that night, our school had its own show on the front steps of the main classroom building. Students were in their classrooms for self-study period, and their outlines could be seen in all of the windows of the classrooms. The pretty lights and loud bangs were probably a final farewell to the good life of sleeping in, playing computer games and watching TV. For them, it's now back to being in the classroom from 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
