It wasn't confidence in herself alone, but the fact that what she and Shen Liangnian shared in their past was irreplaceable for others.
Jing Haohao was born in a small town under Jiangshan City. She was only ten years old when she lost her parents, a year when there was a devastating flood in their town. It washed away many people, including her parents, and Shen Liangnian's mother and sister.
That flood made Jing Haohao an orphan. But Shen Liangnian still had a father, who ran a small paper mill.
It was common at that time in their small town to support orphans to attend school. Shen Liangnian's father, a small business owner, happened to provide for Jing Haohao's tuition.
That's when Jing Haohao met Shen Liangnian.
Shen Liangnian was five years older than Jing Haohao. When she was thirteen years old and in her second half of the seventh grade, and eighteen-year-old Shen Liangnian began the stressful preparation for the college entrance exams.
