Tie Youth

In the rural areas of southern Henan in the 1990s, young Lin Yuan was the family's only hope - he was born to study, and everyone hoped that he would be admitted to the normal school, have an iron rice bowl, and live a stable life. But he was unwilling to be trapped in a platform for the rest of his life. Despite the worries of his family and the pressure of reality, he stubbornly chose the dangerous and unpredictable tax school. He gambled all his youth and succeeded in passing the exam, but little did he know that this was just the beginning of the test of fate.
