General Fiction安宁
Guohui
Twenty years ago, the fate of girls in villages in southwestern Hubei was determined: after completing compulsory education, they would learn tailoring, hairdressing, and help in shops in the county. Only if they had relatives at home could they go to work in big cities such as Wuhan and Guangzhou, and some would become mistresses. An Ning, the poorest girl in the village who was admitted to a key high school, did not want this fate. In order to study, she went on a hunger strike to fight. In high school, when she was in the top grades, she lost her mother when she was young and suddenly lost her grandmother who loved her the most, and her grades plummeted. On the first college entrance examination mock test, she scored 70 points less than the undergraduate score. On the day of the college entrance examination, her stepmother instigated her father to pick her up and take her home for dinner. Because she refused to go back, she was scolded bloody and her performance was abnormal. Finally, he was admitted to the Provincial Normal College's undergraduate program in English, but he didn't expect that he almost died that night when the moon was dark and the wind was high. This time, An Ning was determined to "trade his life for his life."
