As well-educated poor people, poor college students have their own goals and ideals in life, but the available resources are always relatively insufficient, that is, what they have is always less than what they need. They live in severe deprivation, and this is just a small sample of China's millions of poor college students.
With this as the background, this book tells the story of two sisters who were born in poverty and are experiencing various pains caused by poverty. However, because of their different personalities and values, and because they met different lovers, they made different choices on key issues in life, and finally took different paths.
The poor college students in the book are all excellent. They have been determined to change their family's plight and their own destiny through reading since childhood. However, the invisible discrimination that exists in the real society, the lack of available resources, and the character defects caused by poverty make it very difficult for them to survive. Under this predicament, some people keep complaining and are busy all day long, but cannot change the predicament; some people can live calmly and calmly, no longer complain and fear, have clear goals in life, constantly invest in themselves, and surpass themselves; some people are shy and introverted, but can be happy and accept their fate, and learn to give up and live a comfortable life; some are strong and competitive, pursue face, grab like wolves, and end up betrayed by others... Everyone has a different fate.
