Cangwu’s Call for Submissions: “The Ctrl+Z of Life”: Online Writing Event

In the digital world, Ctrl+Z is a second chance: typos can be erased, and accidental photos unsent. But life has no undo button.

The words left unsaid, the hasty decisions, the careless goodbyes—some of these regrets quietly weigh on us, some keep us tossing and turning, while others, in hindsight, have softened into peace.

This semester, the PolyU Cangwu Literary Society welcomes you to find an outlet with us.

We are hosting “The Ctrl+Z of Life,” a low-pressure, campus-wide writing event. You don’t need to write an essay—a single sentence or a few lines about the moment you wish you could undo is all it takes.

Through this event, we want to create a safe space for these irreversible emotions. Let writing be your comfort, let sharing build resonance, and let others' stories give you a new perspective on regret and memory.
