Jiang Cheng was a tough kid even back in junior high in the county town. His grades weren't top-tier, but he fought tooth and nail to get into the best high school in the city. His mom was over the moon, telling everyone, “My son got into a school in the city.” Jiang Cheng himself didn't feel much of anything. To him, it just meant moving somewhere new to keep grinding.
During his last summer break before high school, he was still helping his mom carry crates of fish at the market. His hands reeked of fish.
