unusual contests

Unusual experiences referred to events or experiences that were beyond the scope of ordinary life and left a deep impression on people or brought about special feelings. These experiences may involve personal growth, learning, travel, adventure, challenges, interpersonal relationships, and many other aspects. They were often unique, memorable, and educational. For example, participating in an international volunteer activity, climbing a mountain peak, spending a long time in a foreign country, overcoming a certain fear or weakness, experiencing a life-and-death test, etc. These experiences not only enriched one's life experience, but also had a profound impact on one's values and outlook on life.
