The layout of Academic Residence is different from other places.
In other communities, the entrance usually has a flat space, and those with some spare cash might build a flower bed, or to appear particularly distinctive, they would erect a stone slab with a few words inscribed by some third- or fourth-rate calligrapher.
However, at the entrance of Academic Residence stands a huge blackboard, with rows of chalk-written words side by side.
"This month's top comprehensive high school student: Building 7, Unit 2, Apartment 502XXX"
"This month's top comprehensive junior high student: Building 3, Unit 1, Apartment 201XXX"
"This month's top comprehensive elementary student: Building 3, Unit 2, Apartment 602XXX"
...
"This month's last place comprehensive elementary student: Building 1, Unit 2, Apartment 303XXX"
All the names were blurry and indistinct, but Liu Zheng didn't care much, since his kids didn't live in this community.
Oh, he didn't have kids at all.
