In the twelfth lunar month of winter, a newborn baby girl was abandoned next to a garbage dump raging in the wind and snow, just because her biological parents longed for a boy. A kind-hearted and poor couple who made a living by picking up garbage found her, and with trembling hands and hot hearts, they pulled her back from the brink of death and named her "Shen Nian'en". Since then, there have been three more families in the dilapidated shanty town. The adoptive parents spent their whole life working hard, using the meager income they earned from picking up garbage, and devoted all their love and warmth to Nian En. She is smart and sensible, blooming in suffering, like a white lotus growing tenaciously in the mud. After eighteen years of hard work, the girl was simultaneously competed by Tsinghua University and Peking University as the provincial number one scholar, and she became famous in one fell swoop. At this time, the biological parents who abandoned her suddenly appeared, telling her "difficulties" with tears in their eyes, trying to pick this ripe fruit. Facing their entanglement, Shen Nianen's eyes were bright and his words were sonorous: "My father is the man who held me in his chest to warm me on a snowy night! My mother is the woman who picked up countless empty bottles just to buy me a dictionary! My admission notice to a prestigious school was obtained with their youth, health and dignity! Why do you guys?"
