5. This group of young people have conscience and enthusiasm, and want to do something that is beneficial to everyone. For this ideal, they sacrificed everything they have personally. They may be naive, they may often make mistakes, and their efforts may not be effective.

6. There are still tears from my friends in my eyes, and their blood is still boiling in my veins. What beats in my chest is not just my lonely heart, but the warm hearts of many friends. It is no exaggeration to say that I am able to survive until now because of friendship. ——Ba Jin

7. The path I have taken in writing is the same as the path I have taken in life. My attitude is always true to myself and to others. I hope they will be widely read and arouse people's love for light and hatred for darkness. My articles are written for the majority of people to read. I will always say what I want to say, and I will always fulfill my duty as the person calling out in the dark. ——Ba Jin
