After a disappointing performance on the high school entrance exam, the label of “underachiever” clung fast to Nan Feng that summer.
Everyone thought vocational school would be the end of the road for him.
But he was determined to quietly find his own light in a place where no one believed in him.
The stubborn dreamer Nan Feng × his gentle friend Zhixia × the warmhearted teacher who guides him
Over three years at vocational school, the flag-raising team witnessed his day-after-day dedication.

Fortunately, teachers and friends were always by his side, helping him through late-night study sessions and carrying him past rumors and uncertainty.

In the end, he scored 335 on the 3+ certificate-based college entrance exam and fulfilled his dream of attending Guangzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College.
He tore the mark of prejudice to shreds with his own hands.
It turned out that your starting point never decides your ending. The boy who kept his head down and pressed on would eventually find a clear sky stretching endlessly ahead...
