Rencheng Fireworks, Our Generation Goes Forward

Chen Yu, a 21-year-old technical school student, was born into a poor family in Rencheng, Jining. His father died when he was young, and his mother was born with mental retardation. From a young age, he has been provided with state aid, housing, and living allowances, and free tuition, scholarships, and housing assistance have allowed him to successfully complete his major in mechanical and electrical engineering. Nourished by the goodwill of many parties, he is always grateful, actively participates in various charity projects at school, and takes the initiative to help others on a daily basis. After graduation, he was unemployed for a year. He traveled to Jinan and local factories to find jobs and encountered obstacles repeatedly. The pressure of working in other places, incomplete benefits, and old injuries on his hands made him physically and mentally exhausted. Unwilling to rely on relatives for long-term support, he stayed in his hometown in Laojie to study mechanical and electrical maintenance with a teacher. There are no opportunities or counterattacks from sudden wealth. The story is rooted in the fireworks of the old city, recording the real growth path of a young man who was once supported by the warmth of society, shouldered the heavy pressure of life, made a solid living with his crafts, protected his family, and repaid all the goodwill with ordinary struggles.
