Not just their three dorm rooms were planning to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
When they arrived at Tiananmen, there were noticeably more people than yesterday.
They even unexpectedly ran into Miao Hongqi and her roommates.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the crowd in the square lingered for a long time, university students from all corners of the country chatted and debated with unrestrained enthusiasm.
Lin Nianhe said to the girls from Dorm 208, "I need to go home for a bit and also do some shopping. What are your plans for roaming around?"
Zhou Li responded, "You go ahead with your errands, we will just wander around and then head back to campus."
"Alright, make sure you don't catch the wrong bus on your way back."
"Don't worry."
Lin Nianhe explained several routes to them before departing for the courtyard with Wang Shumei and Wen Lan.
