The Old Scholar's Path to the Top Scholar

2025-12-25 Category: 0

The Old Scholar's Path to the Top Scholar Plot:

Fifty-year-old Zhou Fulai has failed the scholar exam twenty times. His wife calls him "useless," neighbors mock his "outdated dream of being a top scholar," and even his son is ridiculed by classmates: "Your dad is a fool." But he can't let go—his father's last words, "Our Zhou family must have a top scholar," have been a thorn in his heart. The day before the exam, his son suddenly has a high fever. His wife smashes his books: "Either stay with our son or go take that damn exam!" Zhou Fulai squats in the yard crying, only to see his son crawl out wrapped in a quilt, holding his warmed book: "Dad, I kept your book warm. Go take the exam—I want to be the son of a top scholar." He grits his teeth and goes. He tops the written exam, and in the imperial interview, the emperor asks: "Why persist at your age?" He kowtows: "I'm not doing this for myself. I want my son to know that dreams are never too late." The emperor's eyes redden and he names Zhou the new top scholar. When he rushes home with the scholar's robe, his son holds a fever patch and smiles: "Dad, I knew you could do it!" His wife wipes tears and hands him hot congee: "Drink first—I ironed your robe."

The "Ruthless" Grandma Who Got Me Into Tsinghua & Peking University

The "Ruthless" Grandma Who Got Me Into Tsinghua & Peking University

Orphan Lin Xiaoman grew up resenting her grandma’s cruelty: 5 AM wake-ups for vocabulary drills, burned comic books she’d saved half a year for, even pouring her classmate’s pearl milk tea down the drain. Her anger shattered when she fell ill from all-nighters—grandma carried her through a storm to the hospital, slipping into a mud pit. There, Xiaoman found a crumpled notebook under grandma’s pillow: entries on warming milk every morning, secret废品-selling savings for textbooks, and a shaky final line: “If I die, how will Xiaoman survive without skills?” All the “harshness” was love wrapped in thorns. When Xiaoman rushed into the ward with her Tsinghua acceptance letter, grandma’s fragile hand touched the paper, tears mixing with a smile: “Our Xiaoman can finally hold her own umbrella now.”
