This book is the autobiography of a college student from a poor family. She came from a poor family since she was a child, but she continued to strive for self-improvement. Through thrift and hard study, she went from a primary school in a remote village to the best high school in the county, and finally to the fourth-ranked university in the province. After going to college, in order to reduce the burden on her family, she worked part-time to make money in her spare time, thinking that she did not need to apply for financial aid. However, she begins to question her persistence when she discovers that her well-off roommate has easily received financial aid. In her sophomore year, she chose to apply for a scholarship and successfully passed it. It turned out that as a registered household, she was eligible to receive this subsidy. The bursary not only relieved her financial pressure, but also gave her more time to devote to her studies. Shortly after graduation, an incident about unfair college scholarship evaluations broke out on the Internet, which aroused social concern.
