The Year I Didn't Get into College

Chen Xiaoxue, a 19-year-old rural girl, failed to enter college. Her college entrance examination score clearly exceeded the college entrance examination score, but she was still forced to give up the opportunity to apply for a university. In order to avoid the blind date and marriage arranged by her parents, she went to a big city to set up a stall and sell clothes to make money. She was unwilling to give in and still took advantage of every opportunity to review her homework, planning to re-study and take the exam in the future. Liu Jiacheng, a 24-year-old art student, was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts of his choice. He repeated studies for six consecutive years and refused to compromise. He worked as a teacher in the art pre-examination class to earn money while silently preparing for the exam. He vowed that he must be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts next year, otherwise he would smash the drawing board and move bricks on the construction site. Two young people with dreams met in a helpless big city and became each other's warmth and light. They joked: When they get admitted to college one day, the two of them will become a couple.
