A word with the creator (Bingwen Chen, NYU ’26):
Why did you decide to submit to OPUSzines?
I enjoy the feeling of reading words written by the old me: they always bring me on a time machine back to a certain time. Same applies to pieces I want to submit to OPUSzines. I wrote them for fun a long time ago, but till now I still appreciate them and think they are the best of mine. Also, those pieces are related to mindset and mental health!
What is your work about?
Written on an exceptionally beautiful day with good mood during my darkest time in high school, those words, exclaimed deep in heart, are a depressive kid’s sudden perception of beauty from mortal life and their floundering self-saving from overstress and despair.
