[80'S Time Travel + The Counterattack of the No-Golden Finger Schoolmaster + The Cool Articles of the Era]
When Su Wenwei, a graduate student in the 211 Department of History, transformed into a small-town cannon fodder who committed suicide by jumping into a river in 1983, she faced a patriarchal grandmother, indifferent parents, an older brother who laughed at her, and the shackles of the times that "girls are useless in studying" - her only reliance was the modern knowledge in her mind and the tenacity to learn "by reviewing the past and learning the new."
With no system space, she relied on mind maps to chew through obscure textbooks, used logical analysis to overturn prejudices, endured dark circles under the kerosene lamp, and made a counterattack from the bottom of the class to become a dark horse in the college entrance examination. When she took the admission notice from a key university and watched her grandma go from mocking to praising everyone, and watched the educated youth who had despised her in the past regret it, she realized that "knowledge changes destiny" is never empty talk.
In the university town, she fought side by side with Jiang Chenxi, the son of a veteran and fellow top student: he was her "mobile library" under the kerosene lamp, and she was his "strategist of the times" when he was confused. From borrowing books and discussing to starting a business together, in the wave of reform and opening up, the two used modern thinking to open a small shop, conduct research, and enter the business world. From a poor town to a prosperous city, they tore the label of "second daughter of the supply and marketing cooperative" into a medal of "the new rich of the times".
This is an 80's story about struggle, growth and love - there is no golden finger from the sky, only a counterattack watered by sweat; there is no brainless sweetheart, only equally matched people walking side by side. See how a modern academic master uses knowledge to knock on the door of destiny and write her own "gentle morning light" in an era of material scarcity.
