Qi'an

In the winter when he was thirty, Chen Mo was laid off. After five years at a large Internet company, he never thought he would leave the company in this way. In the intersection of life, Chen Mo met two strange test buddies - Lin Zhiqiu, a 23-year-old small town girl who graduated from both sides of the country. She got up at five o'clock every day and went to bed at eleven o'clock every day, like an emotionless question-answering machine. "Aside from working hard, what other capital does a person like me have?" Zhou Ziheng, a twenty-six-year-old exam veteran, is preparing for the exam for the fourth time. He is a walking question bank and a philosopher in the public examination circle. He keeps saying "it's metaphysics", but he asks himself over and over again in the middle of the night: "Besides taking exams, what else can I do?" Three people who were pushed to the same track by the tide of the times spent half a year completing a coming-of-age ceremony about self-salvation in the confines of a training classroom. When the provincial examination curtain opens, some people come ashore, some fail, and some are still on the way. But they all learned the same thing in this exam - the so-called "going ashore" is not to find a sheltered harbor, but to have the determination and ability to build a harbor for the people they love. This is a story about fall and rebirth, confusion and choice, estrangement and reconciliation. Written for everyone who is looking for "finding".
