When You Abandoned Me, I Reached the Top

Li Fan, a rural orphan, worked part-time jobs in the county town to make a living after graduating from junior high school. He made a living by eating instant noodles, living without a fixed place, and experiencing the bitterness of life at the bottom. A grassroots recruitment notice became his only opportunity to change his destiny. He resolutely embarked on the road of examination preparation, earning a living by moving bricks at the construction site while squeezing in late nights to study books and write questions. With a junior high school background, he struggled to face the application test, and was repeatedly made things difficult by his foreman and ridiculed by others. Fortunately, my childhood sweetheart Xia Wan spent all her time with him, washing dishes and saving money to buy materials for him and delivering supper late at night; I met the intellectual and gentle Shen Zhiyu by chance, and helped me solve the problem of preparing for the exam; on the way to prepare for the exam, I met the smart and capable Lin Xiao, and the two learned from each other and moved forward side by side. Relying on his tenacity and cleverness, Li Fan was able to overcome difficulties in the workplace, cleverly solve the plots of villains, and incorporate the excitement of the bottom into his daily preparation for exams, turning his desire for a stable life into the motivation to move forward. After successfully passing the exam, he entered a grassroots unit and still brought his "contemporary" skills to solve workplace disputes. He met several women with different personalities, gained emotional bonds and workplace support, and also launched a small business to build a solid backing. From a county clerk to the municipal and provincial levels, Li Fan struggled all the way, overcoming difficulties at all levels as a grassroots, and completed the counterattack from a bricklayer on a construction site to a grassroots cadre. He wrote about the sadness and perseverance of ordinary people who took the public examination, and also explained the appearance of small people struggling to make progress in their destiny.
