Gu Nian, who had been "repairing" the earth for eight years in the vast world, got the return indicator in disgrace. What greeted her was not the embrace of her family, but cold looks and calculations. Her parents thought she had no job and was a burden to the family; her brothers and sister-in-law treated her like a thief and refused to let her live in the smallest room in the house, which was full of clutter. Just when Gu Nian thought she would spend her whole life in endless quarrels and supercilious looks, a voice on the radio cracked open her gloomy life like a thunder - the college entrance examination was resumed! The whole family thought she was crazy. "You have forgotten all the knowledge you learned in junior high school, and you still want to go to college?" "What's the use of reading so many books at a girl's home? It's serious to find a factory and get married quickly!" Facing the cynicism, Gu Nian just lit the kerosene lamp silently and picked up the textbooks used by his brother. She does not have a golden finger that can predict the future, nor does she have a magical space that can create materials. The only thing she has is the tenacity honed by rural life and the determination to grasp the straw of fate no matter what. From the first notebook she bought in exchange for cow dung, to the words she memorized silently in the cold wind late at night; from the taciturn male educated youth in the commune who was always willing to lend her review materials, to the summer when she wrote hard in the exam room. Gu Nian wants everyone to know that knowledge is the most powerful force in this era. She must take back the youth she lost with her own hands! This time, her life must be lived for herself! ** Tags: ** Chronicles, inspirational life, resumption of college entrance examination, parents' filial piety, group portraits
