Although the area may not seem large, it was still a considerable challenge for the educated youth who came from the city to the countryside.
Getting back to the main point, according to the story's setting, Cao Jianjun was recommended by the village to go to university because of his outstanding performance during his time in the countryside.
During this period, the college entrance examination had already been cancelled.
The way to get into university is through recommendation.
Therefore, a spot in university is extremely precious.
Among the educated youth in the same batch, there was a female educated youth named Xu Yanhong who could no longer bear the poverty of rural life. So when she learned that Cao Jianjun had obtained a university recommendation quota, she took advantage of Cao Jianjun's affection for her and begged him to give the quota to her.
He also said that he would marry her and get a marriage certificate after she finished college.
Finally, unable to resist Xu Yanhong's persistent pleas, Cao Jianjun gave up his university spot to her, and looked forward to the wonderful days of marrying Xu Yanhong and having children in the future.
But to his utter surprise, Xu Yanhong lost contact with him only three months after she went to university.
Feeling uneasy, Cao Jianjun took leave and went to the university to find Xu Yanhong.
However, it turned out that Xu Yanhong already had a boyfriend.
When he stepped forward to question her, he was met with Xu Yanhong's merciless mockery and humiliation.
Enraged, Cao Jianjun decided to take action, but was not only beaten up by her boyfriend and his men, but also taken to the police station and sentenced to a year in prison.
Although a year is not a long time, it left a criminal record.
This resulted in Cao Jianjun failing the political background check and being unable to participate in the college entrance examination.
Cao Jianjun was a high school graduate, and he did not give up his studies even during his time in the countryside, so he had a high chance of getting into university.
However, because of Xu Yanhong, he was unable to take the college entrance examination.
For a moment, General Cao felt an intense hatred for Xu Yanhong.
If the story ended there, Cao Jianjun wouldn't have wanted to take revenge on Xu Yanhong even on his deathbed.
