The novel describes in detail the educational journey of Li Guangming, a boy from a farm family in eastern Henan, who studied diligently and was inspired to leave the farm. It vividly reproduces the moving scenes of teachers in the 1980s who worked hard and taught tirelessly; students studied hard and overcame difficulties; and parents went all out to support their children in school. It eulogizes the touching love between father and son, teacher and student, and classmates. It profoundly reflects the tremendous changes in social life after the reform and opening up.
