   1. A genius from a poor rural background, without a system or reincarnation, pure of heart and upright in character—this is a true coming-of-age story. 2. A system-driven story, focusing on growth, not abrupt, but a gradual transformation. The protagonist enjoys subtly showing off and has a touch of humanity. 3. An atypical academic novel. A top alien genius arrives on Earth with the mission of inheriting the flame. Very heartwarming. The characters are kind and genuine. It's about geniuses, but not the kind of academic novel where they show off and prove assumptions. 4. Needless to say, top-tier quality. Except for the last book, there are no romantic pairings. The first two are ongoing, the last two are completed.

    In 1977, the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) was reinstated, and all sought the light! Educated youth, students from impoverished families, rural neighbors, and ordinary citizens—a portrait of that era unfolds. Fighting against adversity, overcoming hardship, striving for the Gaokao, and changing their destinies—every step is gripping; the mundane realities of daily life, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the steadfastness of ideals, and the choices of the times—every scene is realistically poignant. Using the 1977 Gaokao as its anchor, this film vividly recreates the era's landscape; using the struggles of ordinary people as its backdrop, it portrays the most moving portrait of that time. Passionate, authentic, tearful, and inspiring, "The 1977 Gaokao: Another Spring"—a masterpiece of a time worthy of being captured on camera! [Heart][Heart][Heart]
