When the graduate school entrance exam results came out, a mere three-point gap shattered a year of day-and-night studying for Gu Qinghe. She went from the “future graduate student” everyone had pinned their hopes on to a failure in everyone’s eyes.
Her parents pressured her to take the exam again and fight tooth and nail. Her relatives told her to accept her fate and get a job. Even her boyfriend Wei Luan, whom she had dated for three years and who had comfortably passed the civil service exam, calmly advised her:
“Qinghe, you need to be realistic. With a degree from an ordinary second-tier university, you can’t afford to take risks.”
They parted amicably, but she became a laughingstock to everyone around her.
She poured all her savings into applying for a master’s degree overseas, hoping to seize one chance to be reborn, but a tidal wave of ridicule quickly swept over her.
“Can’t get into grad school, so she’s running away. She’s just avoiding reality.”
“Spending hundreds of thousands to pad her resume is such a waste. She still won’t have any prospects when she comes back.”
Everyone was certain her stubbornness was futile bravado and that her choice would ruin her future.
