"Light of a Poor Family" tells the inspirational story of Lin Chenyang, who was born in a poor family in northern Shaanxi and grew up against the odds. In 2008, 12-year-old Lin Chenyang experienced his parents' divorce and relied on picking up scraps to support his studies. With the help of Teacher Zhang, he found spiritual sustenance through reading, and was admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School and a key university through self-study and deliberate practice. While in college, he founded a technical blog to gain influence. After graduation, he entered an Internet company, but nearly collapsed due to pressure. After regaining his strength, Lin Chenyang founded the "Breaking Cocoon" education platform to provide free and high-quality educational resources to disadvantaged students. The entrepreneurial process was difficult - financing was blocked, love was tested, and his father passed away, but he always stuck to his original intention. The platform gradually developed and expanded, benefiting millions of students, and he and his girlfriend Wang Xiaoyu worked together to overcome difficulties. After becoming famous, Lin Chenyang launched the "Cocoon Breaking Village Project" to support his hometown and reconcile with his mother who had been separated for 18 years. In 2025, the number of users of Cocoon Breaking exceeded 100 million. He used his own experience to prove that one cannot choose one's origin, one's destiny can be changed, and one can have a noble son from a poor family—as long as there is light in one's heart. This is a story about poverty, struggle, persistence and great love, dedicated to all dream chasers groping in the dark.
