Introduction to the work:
A novel with realistic themes that directly addresses the anxiety of contemporary education. It tells the story of Zhou Mingyuan and his wife who spent 1.5 Million in savings to raise their son Zhou Xiaochuan, but in exchange they got a "giant baby" who was addicted to games and refused to work. When 25-year-old Zhou Xiaochuan was kicked out of his home by his father, the young man who had been destroyed by elite education was forced to find the value of life again in the storage room of Internet cafes, basements and online violence. With a storm in the live broadcast industry and a family crisis when the mother suddenly became seriously ill, the educational trauma of three generations gradually surfaced - the stern grandfather created an anxious father, and the suffocating father's love raised an evasive son. In the end, when Zhou Xiaochuan unexpectedly found talent in the e-sports industry, and when his father learned to use barrage instead of preaching, the family completed a new reconciliation of the definition of "success" in a new era where virtuality and reality intertwine. The work uses sharp strokes to dissect the cruel truth of education investment, and also depicts the unchanging love under the intergenerational gap with a warm tone.
