Shen Ping'an, a boy left behind in the countryside, was abandoned by his parents and raised by his grandfather. In the year of his college entrance examination, he excitedly took his score of 704 to Nancheng to share the good news with his parents, only to discover that they had never been too busy to take care of him. They simply already had another child whom they cherished and spoiled. Faced with his parents' favoritism and a family where he never belonged, Shen Ping'an grew increasingly heartbroken and eventually made the decisive choice to leave. With his grandfather's encouragement, he refused to be bound by moral guilt-tripping, became independent and self-reliant, and six years later, rose to become a technical director earning an annual salary of five million.
