Dear students:
亲爱的同学们：
It's another graduation season, and the campus of Central China Normal University is filled with a sense of parting. We sail through the cycles of seasons on the ferry of time, scripting verses of encounter at the foot of Guizi Mountain. As the farewell melody begins to swell, the countdown carries one last piece of parting advice:
又是一年毕业季，华中师范大学的校园里弥漫着离别的气息。我们乘着时光的渡船穿越四季轮回，在桂子山麓书写相遇的诗篇。当离歌渐起，倒数声里藏着最后一声叮咛：
"Three! Two! One! Smile for the lens!"
"三！二！一！看镜头！"
Youth's final epilogue crystallizes in this moment —— the camera lens overflows with starlight shimmering in young eyes, freezing infinite anticipation for tomorrow. Let billowing academic gowns transform into wings mid-flight, while phoenix trees before Building Nine stand eternal witness. When photographs seal away these blazing years of passion, may we forever remember: The morning mists of Guizi Mountain once steeped our ideals in dew, while South Lake's evening breeze now lifts new horizons into view.
青春的注脚在此刻定格，镜头里盛满少年人眼底的星光，定格着对未来的无限期待。让学士服衣袂飞扬成翅膀，让九号楼前的梧桐作永恒见证。当相纸封存这段滚烫岁月，愿我们永远记得：桂子山的晨雾曾浸润过理想，南湖的晚风正托举起新的远方。
In order to allow everyone to leave more beautiful memories before leaving the campus, we have specially compiled a graduation season check-in guide, hoping that you can leave your own footprints in these places.
为了让大家在离开校园前留下更多美好的回忆，我们特别整理了一份毕业季打卡指南，希望你们能在这些地方留下属于自己的足迹。
1. CCNU Stone Stele
CCNU石碑
This is a must-visit spot for every member of the Central China Normal University community. The white stone-carved letters stand quietly in the shade, exuding a unique academic atmosphere. Taking a photo here is not only a tribute to our Alma mater, but also a treasure of our youthful days. Bring a few close friends along and capture your youthful stories in this familiar place.
这里是每个华师人必到的打卡地。洁白的石雕字母静静矗立在绿荫之中，散发着独特的学院气息。在此留影，不仅是对母校的致敬，更是对青春时光的珍藏。带上三五好友，在这熟悉的地方，定格属于你们的青春故事。
2. Youming Stadium
佑铭体育馆
In front of the stadium railing, you stand facing the camera or with your back to it, recording this special memory in various postures
站在体育场的栏杆前，你面对镜头或背对镜头，用各种姿态记录下这段特殊的记忆。
3. Liqun Publishing House
利群书社
This place is not merely a space for reading, but also a haven for students' souls. How many quiet afternoons have there been when you sat at the table, buried yourself in reading and immersed yourself in the sea of books?
这里不仅仅是一个阅读的空间，更是学子们心灵的港湾。曾经有多少个安静的午后，你坐在桌旁埋头阅读，遨游书海。
4. Under the shade of the trees
林荫树下
Guizhong Road is the main thoroughgoing of CCNU. Almost every graduating class leaves their footprints here. The lush trees provide us with a green shade. The green corridor along the tree-lined avenue is like a scroll of time. Strolling through it, it feels as if one has stepped into a time tunnel and returned to that period of time that never stopped.
桂中路是CCNU的主干道，几乎每一届毕业生都会在这里留下足迹，郁郁葱葱的树木为我们撑起一片绿荫。林荫道上的绿色长廊如同岁月的画卷，漫步其间，仿佛走进了时光隧道，回到了那段从未止步的时光。
5. School gate
学校大门
Stand in front of the school gate, facing the camera, and record the last memories. This door once opened your student days. Now, it will witness you embark on a new journey.
站在校门前，面向镜头，记录下最后的记忆。这扇门曾经开启了你们的学生时代，现在，它将见证你们走向新的旅程。
6. College
学院
The solemn and ancient buildings record the study days of countless students. Standing in front of the door and taking a group photo in the academic gown, this is the best testimony to diligent study and hard work.
庄严古朴的建筑记录着无数学子的求学时光。站在门前，穿着学士服合影，这是对勤学苦读的最好见证。
7. Plum Garden
梅园
Sitting on the chair in the plum garden, I took the last photo. I wonder if the next time I open it, I can recall those times when I chatted and laughed with my friends here.
坐在梅园的椅子上，留下最后一张照片。不知道下一次翻开时能否回忆起在这里与朋友一起谈笑风生的那些时光。
8. Bamboo forest
竹林
A gentle breeze caressed the small pavilion among the bamboo groves, creating a green wave. Whether you are lost in thought alone or chatting with friends, this place is a unique check-in spot brimming with Chinese aesthetics.
微风轻拂过竹林间的小亭，带起一阵绿浪。无论是独自思索，亦或是与朋友闲谈，这里都是充满中式美学的别致打卡地。
9. Open-air cinema
露天电影场
If I were to pick the scene that represents youth, it would be that night - a gentle breeze was blowing, the starry sky was shining brightly, and the soft screen light was reflecting on your profile. For two hours, I didn't remember the content of the film at all.
如果说要我选出代表青春那个画面，应该是那晚——微风轻拂，星空璀璨，柔和的屏幕光映照你的侧脸。两个小时的时间，电影的内容我却一点也没记住。
10. Teaching Building
教学楼
We spent the most time here, and perhaps we were more reluctant to leave. Are you still listening to "Those Hasty Years" in your headphones?
我们在这里度过的时光是最多的，临走时或许也多几分留恋吧。耳机里的匆匆那年还在听吗?
Happy graduation! Don't rush to be a better version of yourself. Just be a better version of yourself first.
毕业快乐！先不着急做更好的自己，先更好地做自己。
