A passionate tale of urban life, campus romance, and youthful days. During high school, Xu Linyong was a delusional, middle-school-syndrome kind of boy, but the tides of time and history chose someone who stood between genius and madness. His mother died when he was young, leaving him in a single-parent household with his alcoholic father. From childhood, he endured hardships no ordinary person could bear. He was bullied, forced to eat cow dung, and had his pants pulled down and crotch torn. Yet he never dared share any of this with his family, because whenever he opened up about his pain, all he got in return was scolding. Little by little, the heart of this delusional boy grew tough. Others cultivated their bodies; he cultivated his mind. The heart is a person's greatest strength. Nothing in the world is stronger than a steadfast heart, which can withstand a million troops.
