Features: When many parents from poor families, overjoyed at their children being admitted to university, find that their life's savings are still insufficient to cover tuition fees. When university students face immense financial pressure upon enrollment, even instant noodles with hot water are hard to sustain. When the protagonist in the book achieves financial independence through sheer hard work and part-time jobs, and even manages to give the hard-earned money to astonished parents, not only does the individual feel deeply moved, but it also strikes a profound chord within us! We hope that more impoverished students will draw confidence from the story in this book. University is a new starting point in life; through part-time work and perseverance, students can achieve economic, personal, and spiritual self-reliance, turning their university experience into a new opportunity for personal growth. We also hope that more students will bravely and skillfully engage in social part-time activities, actively cultivating their outstanding employability on the grand stage of society—this is an equally important required course that should begin the moment they step through the university gates!
