Jing failed in the college entrance examination a few years ago. When he was in middle school, he had lofty ideals and beautiful pursuits like other aspiring young people. Going to college is a good way for many rural aspiring young people like Owen Jing to realize their ideals and achieve development. However, the cruel college entrance examination score line blocked the dreams of many students like Owen Jing. Many students have dashed their college dreams because of poor scores. This forces Owen Jing and other young people from rural areas who have failed to enter the society to make a living in dire straits. They have no background, no support, no network, no high education, and no abundant financial strength. They have to work hard on their own.
Owen Jing, who pursued the truth, experienced ups and downs in society with his ideals. He was surrounded by confusion, frustration, loss, fatigue, and ridicule. In the process of making a living and wandering in society, he gradually discovered that the university he dreamed of and the situation of college students were not as ideal as he imagined. He found that in the real society, many college students did not have the advantages they imagined. He felt that he, a person born in a non-majoring degree and "mixed" in society, was far more fulfilling and developed than them.
He also discovered that several of his high school classmates who had failed the exam had achieved a career level that was difficult for intellectuals to achieve after "struggle" in society. After Owen Jing experienced a complex life in society and witnessed those classmates who had failed the exam like him, he discovered that the realization of his ideals was not determined by whether he went to college. Everyone can achieve the future they want as long as they persist in their ideals, are good at thinking and work hard.
