"The poor guy crawling out of the basement."
This boy with excellent grades lives in a basement with a monthly rent of 300 yuan. His father was a talented astrophysicist who committed suicide due to an academic injustice; his mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and he relied on him to work alone to support her.

He stood in front of her and said seriously as he did many years ago:
"If you can't climb anymore, I will carry you up."
Intention: Stick to your ideals, and the stars will eventually come
