Features: This is the first work to genuinely, objectively, and comprehensively disclose the growth and struggles of New Oriental School founder Yu Minhong. The book employs delicate and fresh prose to narrate Yu Minhong's childhood life, the influence of his mother and teachers, his love life, the painful experiences of three college entrance exams, his forced resignation after being seriously reprimanded by Peking University, his arduous entrepreneurial journey, and his insights into life. It not only offers a heartfelt endorsement of Yu Minhong's extraordinary efforts in transforming from a private substitute teacher into China's "" (Study Abroad Guru), but also provides a rational analysis of the secrets behind his success. There is both fervent admiration for his perfect personality and a sharp critique of his flaws. Yu Minhong's winding path to success reveals a profound and simple truth: ordinary people with zero social resources can still achieve remarkable feats. There is no insurmountable gap between success and failure, greatness and obscurity—only a step away. We can imitate and learn from him, and even surpass him. At the same time, it offers an incisive analysis of contemporary success phenomena, striving for depth and multi-layered meaning, leaving readers with a fresh and rustic shock after reading it.
