Special incidents occurred almost every year during our university days. Incidents like conflicts escalating into brawls, with someone ending up getting stabbed. Or someone committing suicide over emotional issues, or resorting to threats to prevent a breakup.
I remember when Gu Fan and Lu Yi first got to university, a professor joked about a river on campus that two students threw themselves into every year, and the quota for this year was already filled so the new students should not join in the fun. The joke made Gu Fan and Lu Yi laugh and wonder who could be foolish enough to take their own life over a relationship.
Later, Gu Fan actually saw a man standing in the middle of a busy road after a breakup, letting cars zoom past him. Eventually, the counselor had to call several male students to drag him away.
