<v Speaker 3>There's also a new transfer student, Siauan, who always seems

95
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 3>indifferent but has an unusual interest in traditional Chinese culture.

00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.720

99
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 3>himself with no time to explore the poetic in inspiration.

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 3>What's worse, some areas by the lake were closed off,

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.839

00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.920

106
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 3>hidden in forbidden places.

00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.240

110
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 3>sneak into the restricted lake area when the teachers weren't looking.

117
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.079

121
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 3>There they saw a view of the lake they had

122
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 3>never seen before, and it seemed they could instantly feel

123
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 3>the poet's mindset from the past.

00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 3>By evening, they quietly returned to the class without being

129
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 3>noticed by the teachers.

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:32.639

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 3>fixed boundaries to find.

149
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 3>poet's source of inspiration, but also taught him that bravely

150
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 3>pursuing what he wants is worthwhile.
