Fu Ying's university life went smoothly thanks to her self-discipline and hard work. She achieved good results in the competitions she entered, though she had also participated in a few whose outcomes were less than ideal.
During her junior year, Gaoxin invited Fu Ying to join her in entering an English translation competition. This competition was held annually; the previous year, the two of them had gone to watch it. Students of any year could register, but seniors generally possessed stronger comprehensive skills, especially in the paragraph translation round.
What made the university competition somewhat prestigious was that the first-place winner on campus would typically advance to higher-level competitions. For instance, the winner of this event would represent the university in the provincial collegiate competition and the National College Students' English Translation Competition, where students had previously won second prizes—making it a competition of high value and significance.
