When he was eighteen years old, Lin Chen became the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination with a score of 743, but his parents asked him to give up his place at Tsinghua University to his younger brother who only scored 498 points. Faced with eighteen years of partiality and neglect, he resolutely gave up Tsinghua and chose to join the army. From a new recruit to the champion of the military scout competition, and then to being recommended to the military academy to become an officer, Lin Chen spent six years proving his worth. When he returned to his hometown with honor and tolerance, the previous hurt and estrangement finally slowly melted away in the warmth of family affection.
