On the eve of the college entrance exams, Du Heng comes home to find his parents serving food to an empty chair.
Under the table lies a copy of the “Rules for Parents and Candidates”:
Rule One: Do not check whether your child has come home.
Rule Two: Do not let your child see their exam admission ticket.
Rule Three: If your child discovers these rules, notify the homeroom teacher immediately.
Du Heng thinks his parents have gone mad.
That is, until he sees the exam date from ten years ago on the back of his charred admission ticket.
It turns out Jiangcheng has already gone through one failed college entrance exam.
His parents have followed these rules for ten years, not to trap him, but to keep him alive until this second chance.
This time, he won’t trust the answers from the first exam.
