irst finished piece by a crochet beginner, and also the wish of an old mother—“a successful pass to top university” with this “zhuangyuan zong” (top scholar’s rice dumpling). With the college entrance exam approaching, I’m hoping for good luck. Wishing my daughter success in this year’s exam and admission to her dream school—may she make it onto the honor roll!
