On December 31st, the night sky in Jiangcheng Optics Valley area was equally bright.
At 6:30, Chen Qiqi, who was still at Nanhu University, was ready to put on makeup and go out.
At 7 o'clock sharp, the four most famous golden flowers of the Law School finally reunited and gathered at the Optics Valley Square at the same time.
We all agreed to go shopping together today and go to the pedestrian street in the evening to watch the light show to celebrate the New Year.
Along the way, the cheerful girls got New Year's manicures, went shopping, and had a steaming hot pot meal.
But in fact, all the trips are just killing time, waiting for the light show at night.
For every girl, watching the light show New Year's Eve is a romantic moment full of ritual.
At 9:30 in the evening, they appeared on the turntable street in advance, waiting for the light show to be staged.
Although the winter in Jiangcheng can't help but be a bit cold, everyone was enthusiastic and seemed particularly happy.
"Although we have lived in the same dormitory for such a long time, this is the first time we celebrate the New Year together and have the New Year's Eve dinner together~"
Yu Tian held the camera in one hand and held Zhong Leyi in the other.
"Look, there are words coming out!"
Wang Xue, who had been raising his head, was the first to notice that there were some unusual sights in the towering International Plaza.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the light show started on time.
Yu Tian took a photo of the twinkling lights of the two office buildings and sent it to WeChat Moments to show it to friends who didn’t come to the scene.
Wang Xue dialed her mother's video call immediately and shared this gorgeous moment with her.
"Wow, Leyi, have you seen it? The Chinese characters behind these lights seem to be wishes!"
Chen Qiqi turned to look at Zhong Leyi beside him, his tone full of envy.
Looking at the wishes constantly displayed on the Twin Towers, the girl regretted not being able to see this event in advance and not being able to send her wishes to the tower.
The wishes from the city shine in the optical valley in the center of Jiangcheng, like stars lighting up the New Year's Eve sky.
On this day, the Jiangcheng Propaganda Department invites citizens to "New Year's Eve in the Clouds" to welcome the New Year with a brilliant feast of light and shadow.
From 22:00 to 24:00 in the evening, Jiangcheng released its official Weibo and joined forces with Paradise Entertainment Co., Ltd. to jointly create a public welfare New Year's Eve light show - "to 2014: Fireworks Jiangcheng Happy Years".
The location selection was discussed by the organizers and was finally staged in the two international buildings in the center of Optics Valley Plaza.
The people of Jiangcheng presented the most representative wishes collected during the event on the twin towers side by side, allowing all kinds of dreams and blessings to become the brightest lights on New Year's Eve.
Those who made wishes include newly graduated Jiangcheng young people, front-line industrial workers, and service industry workers...
The wishes they made may be about career, family, city, happiness, friendship, or dreams...
At the light show, some citizens made a special trip to witness their wish to go up the tower.
Some citizens also stopped for a long time, watching everyone's wishes quietly with smiles on their faces.
Some citizens were so excited that they made their wishes in front of the bright night sky...
This is a sweet and romantic ceremony that belongs to everyone.
Their stories share the same sincerity and love, and their wishes are full of expectations and passion.
Although Chen Qiqi did not have time to submit her article, she may have made her wish for the new year at the scene: "I hope I can successfully pass the postgraduate entrance examination for law and be successful in my studies!"
Zhong Leyi on the side also gently closed her eyes, opened her lips slightly, smiled and made a New Year's wish.
In 2014, I will enter dormitory 201, my senior year in college, and I am full of expectations for the new year and the future.
“I hope everyone’s dreams can come true!”
...
"May the whole family be safe in their medical posts."
When he saw Jiangcheng's official Weibo push for a wish collection event, Pu Zhen wrote this message without hesitation.
These 12 words conveyed his most sincere blessings to the whole family - his father, who lives far away in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is a hepatobiliary surgeon, and his mother is a nurse.
Pu Zhen, who lives in Jiangcheng, is a dental surgeon.
"My biggest wish is that my parents can be healthy."
On a big screen nearby, reporters interviewed the wish collectors and told their stories.
Pu Zhen is from Sichuan. His parents went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang after graduating from college, and Pu Zhen also grew up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
After working, Pu Zhen chose to return to Jiangcheng.
"Jiangcheng gives me a sense of belonging. This city is tolerant and welcoming. As soon as I arrive in Jiangcheng, I feel like a drifter is at home."
...
With everything in the camera, the reporter on the screen continues to look for the destined person's wish to go to the tower.
"Can I see your wish?"
"Wait a little longer, there should be."
Downstairs in the Twin Towers, Guo Xingyu stared at the flashing wishes on the light curtain wall and asked his brother Guo Xingya next to him.
Guo Xingya saw the wish collection activity on Jiangcheng’s official Weibo the day before yesterday, so he sent a string of codes: printf (“happy new year“);.
"I am a programmer, so I wrote down content related to my profession. The output of this code is happy new year."
In addition to happy New Year wishes, Guo Xingya may have made a New Year's wish: "I hope my family will be safe and happy, and I hope I can get a promotion and a salary increase!"
Guo Xingya is from northwest China and has been in Jiangcheng for more than a year. He told reporters in an interview that he likes this city very much.
"Jiangcheng is very tolerant. Whether it is trendy or old, progressive or leisurely, popular or niche, it all integrates well."
My younger brother Guo Xingyu is studying in the city next door and just arrived in Jiangcheng by train yesterday.
"When I arrived in Jiangcheng in the afternoon, my brother said that he would take me to watch the New Year's Eve light show today. I also found it very interesting and interested."
...
"I believe everything will be better."
At the same time, Li Huangjia took her husband and came to the vicinity of the Twin Towers, looking forward to "encountering" her wish on the wall.

“E-Chongqing Civil Servant Selection Exchange!”
This was Li Huangjia’s wish left behind at the Jiangcheng release stage.
Speaking of the reason for her wish, Li Huangjia told reporters with a smile: "I work for the Paradise Group in Jiangcheng. My husband passed the civil service examination in Chongqing. We have been living in different places. I hope that the civil servants in Hubei and Chongqing will be able to communicate with each other and that my husband can come to Jiangcheng as soon as possible."
Li Huangjia is from Guizhou, and her husband is from Pzh. They met and fell in love when they were in college.
"We made plans when we were in college. We would come to Jiangcheng to develop in the future."
Why choose Jiangcheng?
Li Huangjia said that Jiangcheng has great development potential and strong development momentum.
"My husband and I are both from southwest China, and the living habits of Jiangcheng are very suitable for us."
After coming to Jiangcheng for two years, Li Huangjia has a deeper understanding of the city.
"The old town has a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere, while the new town, especially the software park area, and the industrial cluster headed by the Paradise Group have a compact and striving feel. Jiangcheng integrates these two atmospheres very well."
Li Huangjia, who loves Jiangcheng, also hopes that her husband can come to Jiangcheng as soon as possible.
She joked that she and her husband are now a "weekend couple" and get together every weekend by high-speed rail.
On New Year's Eve, the two held hands and walked under the Twin Towers.
Li Huangjia hopes that her husband can see her wish and that she can return to Jiangcheng as soon as possible: "I believe everything will be better."
...
These wishes from the city are like stars lighting up the New Year's Eve night sky, twinkling in the stars in the sky, expressing the first blessing of 2013 with their bright light.
The countdown to zero o'clock is getting closer and closer, and the reporter's interview on the big screen is coming to an end.
"The first blessing of the new year, I would like to send to a girl named Zhong Leyi."
The picture gradually became blurry, and only the sound was still clear.
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
Unlike Jianghan Pass, which has a strong sense of ritual countdown, the countdown on the two large screens in Optics Valley Plaza is full of a sense of technology.
"Zhong Leyi, Happy New Year!"
The extremely familiar voice echoed through the night sky, brilliant fireworks and neon lights lit up repeatedly at the same time, and her exclusive blessing turned into colorful characters, frozen in the center of the huge screen.

Zhong Leyi squeezed the big cup of milk tea in her hand, tears streaming down her face.
