Jiang Mingwen graduated from college at the age of 23. He saw with his own eyes that people from the mountains were looked down upon and even ridiculed by the city people when they came to the city. He felt unbalanced, so he took the initiative to volunteer when recommending literacy volunteers. He has a straightforward, sensitive and white knight personality, and always feels that he can do his part to help the people. Zhang Guisheng's parents died when he was 16 years old. His personality was dull and slow, and his youthful spirit was tempered. From the age of 16, he raised two younger brothers and a younger sister alone.
Jiang Mingwen was assigned to Beixiawa, a poor rural area in the mountains and ravines, which was also Zhang Guisheng's home. In the early days, Jiang Mingwen was picked up by Zhang Guisheng's two younger brothers due to heatstroke. The two officially met. The two were extremely reserved and polite due to their identities, but they slept in the same bed day and night. On the surface, they were a rural teacher and a young man from the village, but secretly they were just two teenagers keeping each other warm.
