:LdA (The plot of the novel was made up to the needs of the author. Please do not imitate.) It was a sudden shake that forced Shi Han out of his dream. He was at the top of his rage initially, but based on his last bit of conscious he would recall that there was no one else in the dorm, and as a result of which, he wasn’t wakened by someone else for sure. Around him was deadly silence. Turning to another side and opening a thin line with his eyes, he touched to light the clock on his bedside with the least amount of energy. Direct, strong light went straight into his eyes, but he still felt uncomfortable. It was 2:18 .. He couldn’t remember since when had he been called "KingstoneJr."; somehow, from a certain time, he was nicknamed "Kingstone Jr." “Kingstone" was an excellent graduate several years ago, who was from the same junior high school and had secured Peking University after winning an IMO gold medal. Shi Han didn’t consider himself to be such a genius; he just attended each lesson seriously, and his academic performance was far worse than those who were at the top of the whole school. But for some reason, others placed high expectations on him. "A half of ironic, another half boasting, and zero percent of heartfelt praise.”These were out of his own prediction. It’s Saturday-oh no-Sunday today, and a day off. Other schoolmates all went back home, leaving Shi Han and his mates to train for the Chemistry Olympiad. The others went their own homes at might, but Shi Han decided to stay in the dorm considering his home was too far away. Shi Han turned himself again to continue his sleep, but that sense of shaking was increasingly strong and sat unimpatiently,head down,eyes chosed,but his feet which touched the floor indicated that it was shaking too. The immediate reaction cleared up the haze in his brain, and he came to a reasonable conclusion at once-maybe an earthquake. Having no time to put on his shoes, he kicked the door open and struggled to the nearest stairs in loose pajamas. The shaking was not that strong, and the starry night sky after midnight gently gave off a harmony of light. Looking over at the completely empty dormitory, he found bright-white powder on the wall gliding down through the darkness. Why had he determined to take part in the Olympiad? He was sure he wasn’t that bad, yet that he could never reach the peak. He had witnessed his companions left one by one, and had a thought of quitting. "But why have you carried it through till the present?” Days ago,a girl from a lawer grade asked him this childish question with twinkling eyes after a talk with him. He gave himself a cold smile. Until this point, with so much time and effort devoted, only to quit it like an idiot? The sense of shaking was clearly more violent on the stairs. His dorm was at the 6th floor, so he estimated that he couldn’t escape safely and regularly. Then he decided to climb onto the roof through the stairs nearby. Perhaps he was braver than usual because there was no one else on campus, and door to the roof top had always been closed; not a single person had climbed over it. He would rather die in lis dorm than do such crazy things if it was an ordinary day. A sense of coldness of the handle sent shivers down Shi Han’s spine when he touhed the lowest one-To his sad discovery, he had so many hobbies. He could play basketball, soccer, and dance; he could paint and DIY and makeups; he had excellent handwriting and an extraordinary capability of writing poems, both shi and ci; he could also play guitar well and sing Chinese opera...All of a sudden,it occurred to him that others call him" Kingstone Jr."maybe not because of this or that reason, but simply because he was so talented that he had managed to obtain so many skills that others might not get their hands on for their whole lifetime. He would have found a better option if le hadn’t chosen the olympiad."But why did I got on this road?"Shi Han climbed up using hands and feet and couldn’t stop asking himself. For fun? Or for interest? Maybe a little sense, but just that little. The building made an obvious lean; Shi Han scarcely held the level beyond his head. The rain of stone pieces fell on his head and face, causing a constant and unbearable pain. He climbed onto the last level with all his force and cracked open the door on the ceiling. "Hoosh", the whole wight sky full of stars beamed into his eyes, but he had no time to think any more about it. With his last bit of energy used up, he finally dragged himself onto the rooftop. When Shi Han was breathing heavily on the rooftop which was covered with stone pieces, he could sense that the platform beneath him was also leaning. He struggled to his feet, and judged that the building was falling towards the north. That was lucky, for the fact that the dormitory building was not only the northest one but also the tallest one in the school, thus he didn’t have to worry about the tall buildings nearby falling upon him. Bearing the unbearable pain, he dragged himself forward onto a sheld. From the bottom of his feet came the realistic touching of stones. Standing on the south edge of the rooftop, he saw bricks on the other building falling down,whose fragile wood structure was torn into pieces bya hage but invisible dragon, with great horror. The experience of the building he was standing on was all the same: the height slowly decreased; but Shi Han rooted on the top with extraordinary balance. He recalled the memory of walking alone on the empty campus when the sun was about to set; colorfully-painted clouds he glanced at with his head turned; dribbles and dribbles that the slow and swift leaf flew on and settled onto the surfaces of the lake. He recalled pedestrian free roads covered with fallen leaves, and across the bridge ran an absent -minded pussy. He recalled desks full of unarranged books, from which the papers would splatter all over the floor with a slight touch. Empty and huge as the campus was, he once had a delighting sense of domunation for a while, but it was soledad that made up the most of him.
Eventually. the shaking stopped. Why had he made such a choice? On top of the ruins, Shi Han looked down without emotions. A domitory building with a destroyed appearance, which might have buried massive amounts of secrets and secret thoughts of adolescent teenagers. Stars no longer shone, and the ground no longer shook. Such a short-lasting earthquake brought about such disastrous outcomes. Looking around, there was dead-like silence, but there might be more and more painful cries from beneath the surface, arising increasing horror. Not a single tall building anymore, but plain-like ruins, and he, on top of which stood. Waves of winds rushed beside him, and his white loose pajamas. He suddenly felt his cold bare feet, which might be bleeding due to a broken piece. A grey shadow rose in the eastern part of the sky; it would be the sun rise. From farther places came the sound of ambulances. Something flashed through Shi Han’s mind. He bent down slowly; slowly on top of the ruins.
——You’ll have to do that because others have all done that.
Suddenly he burst out into heartfelt laughter, with his painful stomach and tears flew out from his eyes; his face reddened and his breath became uneasy; with his spasmodic figure falling onto the ground of the ruins. Ambulances drove past the school gate, with deafening sound completely covering Shi Han’s laughter; even himself couldn’t recognize what he was laughing about.
