时值清华建校110周年，本书精选110个当代清华学子的毕业选择，告诉我们：离开清华，仅仅是他们生涯规划漫漫长路上的第一步。他们寻觅属于自己的“天涯路”，在各地、各领域发光发热。扎根新疆，投身西部的赵江涛；勇赴非洲，致力于帮助非洲农业转型的陆昕清；将目光投向星辰大海，为中国空间站建设添砖加瓦的方耀鹏……高楼林立，万家灯火，总有一隅是我们可以驻足眺望的角落。他们也有过徘徊和选择，纠结于不同的行业、地区和发展路径。放弃教职，走上创业之路，用数据和工具为个体和小团队赋能的袁晓辉：在拥有了自由选择的十字路口再次选择踏入军营、献身国防的胡凯；放弃了更优渥的薪资，追寻文学梦想的修新羽……“衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴”。头顶梦想的星光，唯有坚持逐梦，坚持不懈，方有经历磨砺后的精彩和开阔。经历汶川地震，矢志土木梦想的胡黎俐；推研失利后，为学术梦想努力考研的徐梦周；经过南非访学，立志用科研成果推动消除结核病的苏宏伟……不忘初心，方得始终。110个独一无二的梦想讲述了110个清华人的选择，也讲述了110个清华人的“中国梦”。每一个清华人，都在讲述属于自己的离开清华的方式，也都在讲述自己的拼搏与坚持。
