才考完想发泄一下情绪，于是有了这么个东西，当时也没写多少。
然后我爸看到之后催我赶紧写完？？？
Leisure writing is not allowed in my class, so I decided to write in English to pretend that I am doing something serious. And because I cannot use the translator at school, there may be many mistakes in my grammar or spelling.
Thanks to Jane, it appears as though my vocabulary has increased a lot in the past four months. It's unbelievable that my English, which I couldn't score 135 in the first year of junior high, has improved to the current level without any extracurricular classes.
As a conclusion of my OI career, and a tribute to my three years of life, the tone of this article could be calm, neutral, but actually still enthusiastic.
“越人语天姥，云霞明灭或可睹。”
I have regarded my father, who was a so-called national technical expert, as the best programmer in the world for a long time. (But he doesn't know about the algorithms and data structures, and has been addicted to vibe coding recently, in fact.) So I had a strong sense of curiosity about computer programming when I was really young.
At the time I was preparing for middle school, my father and my math teacher both thought that I had a little gift for computer science. Then, with pleasure, I started my exploration.
“我欲因之梦吴越，一夜飞度镜湖月。”
The first term at junior high was filled with hope and happiness. The sunlight in the morning was cut into tiny golden pieces by colourful maple leaves, spreading all around the ground, with breezes and a chorus of birds, awaiting my appearance. Or watching a bar of red over the western hills, I chatted with my friend about endless things, while the sun was going down. All of these ordinary little things were incredibly adorable.
I always got the first place in weekly tests at that time, which made my heart full of confidence, ambition and enthusiasm. It's obvious that I didn't realise how fundamental and simple the knowledge I had learnt was. When I had an opportunity to study with an advanced class, which was taught by Guo Guo, because of my fondness for my teacher, Ms. Li, at that time, I refused, which marks the first wrong decision I made in my OI study duration.
However, it was undoubtedly the happiest and most fulfilling period of my life.
“脚著谢公屐，身登青云梯。”
A few months later, after the mid-term examination of the second semester of Grade 7, the basic class that I was in was merged with the advanced class. When the first exam was held following the merging of the two classes, the problems were extremely difficult for me. I always felt overwhelmed and anxious, especially after my former friend had been AFO.
At this stage, Guo Guo chose some good problems for me and encouraged me to catch up with classmates who learnt algorithms earlier than me, and his words did boost my belief.
I made it with the power of confidence, finally getting second place in the final examination. Guo Guo and my class teacher Mr. Huang, praised me for my tenacity and potential, but what happened a year later proofed that I didn't possess these qualities, but that's another story.
The season turned into summer again, and the sunlight was so pure and brilliant. After two months' preparation, I got good grades in CSP-S and participated in NOIP. Anyway, this is the peak of honour in my competitive career.
I saw the clouds hiding far away and turning into a torrential downpour.
I saw the Yulan flowers (I don't know what its name is in English) in full bloom and fading in the blink of an eye.
I saw the birds gliding in the blue sky and vanishing in an instant.
My glory and the time of happiness and ease came to an end, and a perilous journey lay before me.
“熊咆龙吟殷岩泉，栗深林兮惊层巅。”
The fact that selection for the Basic Science Class was advanced once made me feel unprecedentedly panicked, but after finishing the CSP-S competition, endless conceit welled up in my heart.
But I was wrong. Although I got into the Basic Science Class without a hitch, the hidden danger of my weak foundation suddenly emerged. I ranked at the bottom throughout the semester, which was surely a chronic adversity for me.
On every rain-drenched night, as the drizzle soaked my trouser cuffs, a strange sense of despair always crept over me. I found that I could hardly work out problems on my own, and I surrendered to the feelings in my heart without any effort putting into OI.
Beyond my expectation, my memory of specific events from that period is very vague now. The only event deserving a mention is that Dumpling, a coach from another secondary school, helped me with some problems and methods. His lesson and encouragement impressed me a lot.
