The Turbulent Youth of Qingxi

At seventeen, Lin Feng leaves his mountain village to enter the county's No.1 High School, carrying his father's stern warning: keep your head down, hide your sharp edges, and study in quiet obscurity. But the rural newcomer finds little peace in an unfamiliar campus where classmates meet him with cold shoulders and relentless provocation. Caught between the hot-headed loyalty of his only friends and the mounting pressures of daily conflict, Lin Feng walks a razor's edge between retreat and resistance. Every choice forces him to weigh survival against self-respect, until he must finally decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice—and how much he must fight to claim his own path through the wild, unforgiving years of youth.
