The Battle for School District Housing

share time: 2025-10-05 06:00:40

Lin Xiaoyun, an advertising planner, and her husband Chen Mo, a programmer, sold their wedding house to buy a shabby old apartment in the old town so their daughter could attend a key primary school. Right after transferring ownership, they received terrible news—the apartment was in the demolition zone for the key school's expansion, and their school district eligibility would be invalidated. The couple immediately launched a "battle": Lin made short videos to raise public awareness, while Chen combed through policies for loopholes. However, stress led to frequent fights, and they even missed their daughter's fever. Just as they were on the brink of collapse, the short video gained public attention, prompting the education commission to adjust the demolition scope and save the school district housing. But looking at their sick daughter in bed, they suddenly realized: compared to the "ticket" of school district housing, their child's sense of security is the true "battlefield" worth defending.
