About This Novel
In the winter of 1977, a spring thunder of the resumption of the college entrance examination split open the cold fog that had accumulated for many years in the southwestern mountainous areas. In Wangjiacun, Pengshui County, Sichuan, Zhou brothers Yanchuan and Yanlin received admission notices from Fudan University at the same time. However, the poverty of the family is like an insurmountable mountain, which can only support one person to get out of this small corner of the stone platform. In the silent night when the stove fire was lit, his younger brother Yanlin hid his notice and put the only chance he had with the words "Brother, show your appearance. Even my share," and put it heavily on his brother's shoulders. Carrying the thirteen dollars and fifty-two cents that the family squeezed out of their teeth, the dried potatoes dried by his younger brother, and the "green mountain"-like entrustment, Zhou Yanchuan embarked on the road to leave his hometown. From winding mountain trails to roaring trains, traveling through the vast hinterland of China, he finally arrived in the unfamiliar Shanghai, and started another more rugged trek beside the boulevard where the parasol trees had fallen out of Fudan University. Here, he met his classmates from all over the world and from the "7th and 7th grade" students of different ages, and saw a library with a sea of books and a laboratory that shone with cold metallic light. The ocean of knowledge is vast, and he is starting almost from scratch. Listening to the teacher's ardent expectations in Xianghui Hall, and writing the first letter home reporting safety in the dark dormitory, Zhou Yanchuan took every step carefully and vigorously. He knew that every page of the book he read no longer belonged to him. This is a story about sacrifice and trust, escape and commitment. It begins with a national examination that changed the fate of countless people, and ends with how a young man, carrying a heavy burden of "another" life, tried clumsily and tenaciously in the "spring of science".
