Repeating for Top Universities, But Became a Top Pilot

Lin Xiaoman was forced to repeat her senior year by her parents after failing the college entrance exam, with Qinghua and Peking University (China's top two universities) as her only goal. However, she harbored a hidden aviation dream inherited from her grandfather—a former pilot—having saved up for model planes for three years and listened to old radios every night. One evening study session, she sneaked out to watch an air show rehearsal, only to bump into Gu Shen, a “transfer student” who was actually an observer from the Air Force recruitment office. Gu discovered her extraordinary sensitivity to air currents and invited her to the recruitment selection. Her parents flew into a rage upon learning: “Repeating is your only way out!” Torn between parental expectations and her grandfather’s last words “Fly” in his old flight log, Lin stood under the starry sky on the playground holding model plane parts, when Gu suddenly shouted: “Your wings aren’t for getting into top universities.” When the roar of planes echoed during the repeat class’s morning study, when model plane screws fell on her mock exam papers, she finally tore up her mock exam answer sheet: “Let the admission letters from Qinghua and Peking University wait for me to come back from the blue sky.”
