Features: The work primarily depicts the tense lives and fluctuating psychological journeys of a group of high school students in the post-exam period. Centered around the Gaokao, the story unfolds around the life of Class 1, Senior 3 (Grade 12). They come from various social strata, with diverse family backgrounds, their own joys and sorrows. But they all share a common goal: to successfully navigate Senior 3. The work is profound yet lighthearted, offering high cognitive and aesthetic value.
The beautiful and intelligent girl Ding Chuchu suddenly faints during the Gaokao preparation phase. Can she still get into the university she dreams of? In the noisy Gaokao counseling park, Duan Ruiling, who failed the "first mock exam," goes straight to the Tsinghua University counseling booth. The outstanding scores she provides are astonishing. Wu Tao, who carries the expectations of his parents, first faces the challenge of whether his sports performance will pass. In the moment of failure in the long-distance run, a large denomination of RMB suddenly appears before him, fluttering in the wind.
Many female classmates in the class grow small mustaches—is it a fashion trend or an infectious disease? The highly paid "tutor" delivers results—how effective is he? Chu Xingzuo, who wanted to attend the police academy, achieves his wish or fails? The Gaokao is a war faced by students, teachers, and parents. In this war, some will win, and some will lose.
