In the journey of life, we often encounter unexpected changes. Facing the past choices, at a certain point, you may regret or be nostalgic, but you will never be able to go back to the past and make any changes. As a commonly used shortcut, "Ctrl+ Z" has a magical power, giving us the opportunity to imagine correcting the past and making up for regrets. However, "Ctrl+Z" is not only an examination and correction of the past, but also an exploration of change. Every press is a reshaping of oneself and a prospect for the future. It encourages us to accept the changing reality, the shortcomings of the past, bravely face the uncertainty of the future, and embrace the changes in life with a positive attitude. Finally, we hope you can take the stage as a chance to review the past, embrace the future, and define the changes in your hearts under the theme of "Ctrl+ Z".
