Study, like a thief
2022
China has a unique dormitory culture. Most of the roommates are not chosen by themselves but are assigned directly by the school. Roommates thus become a new concept, different from friends and from ordinary classmates. I often felt a hidden pressure to socialise with my roommates. The lounge sometimes became an exhausting social place where we were unable to vent our emotions, leading to internal conflict.
