Unexpectedly, a disaster struck when Jialin's mother went up the mountain to pick wild walnuts to make the cakes that Jialin wanted. She accidentally fell and was seriously injured. Yude had no money to treat her and their family was in dire straits. Jialin, who was determined, decided to give up repeating the year and instead took a job as a private teacher. This was his responsibility as a man and a son.

Shuangxing dressed plainly and had a far lower level of knowledge than his classmates. In class, the teacher talked about local literature. Others had already read Shen Congwen and Wang Zengqi and were passionately debating, but Shuangxing had not read them and couldn't join in the discussion. When classmates wanted to practice English speaking with him, Shuangxing couldn't understand anything.

Ma Hongsheng invited him to the library to read "Faust," but Shuangxing only knew Zhang Side. He was out of place in the Shanghai campus, appearing poor, ignorant, and cowardly. Roommates invited Shuangxing to go out to eat, but halfway through the meal, Haibo and Ma Hongsheng left after arguing about literature, leaving Shuangxing alone and unable to pay the restaurant bill. Chen Xiuli, a new student in the sociology department, happened to be dining there and offered to lend Shuangxing money to help him out.

The conditions at Madian Elementary School were difficult, with broken walls, drafty caves, and great safety hazards. Students had to bring their own desks and chairs, and tuition was only paid with agricultural products such as potatoes, millet, vegetables, chickens, and ducks. The idea of teaching aids was a pipe dream. There were only three teachers in the whole school: the stay-at-home mom Hua Xiaojuan, who had to take care of her children, do farm work, and teach; the retiring old teacher Zhou Xinchu; and the newly arrived Gao Jialin. Gao Jialin didn't care about the teaching tasks or the distribution of salaries. He was willing to work more and earn less.
