Chen Mo's road to a comeback.
Chen Mo was an outstanding student, top in his entire town on the college entrance exam and among the top fifty in his county. Now he struggles to make ends meet in Beijing on a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan.
When he returns to his hometown for the New Year, his father proudly shows off the wall covered in certificates to everyone he meets, while relatives compare him to his cousin, who never finished high school.
His rent has skyrocketed. He's still short 1,200 yuan, the lease renewal payment is due on the seventh day of the New Year, he has no one he can borrow from, and he doesn't dare ask his family.
In the face of adult reality, how much are all the glories of youth really worth?
