Closing his eyes, he couldn't help but recall the various hardships and setbacks he had experienced from childhood to adulthood.
He remembered how he had struggled to raise tuition fees; he remembered the effort and sweat he had poured into his studies; he remembered the cold stares and ridicule he had endured…
All of this made him feel unbearably heartbroken and helpless.
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out in his ear: “No one in this world can judge me! Go to hell, old man!”
The voice was full of power and courage, as if it could dispel all gloom and darkness.
Qi Tongwei abruptly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with light.
He couldn't be crushed by fate, he had to bravely face all challenges and difficulties!
So he sat up, picked up his books, and began to review his lessons.
As long as he worked hard enough, he could definitely change his destiny!
Qi Tongwei, as if he had become a different person, studied even more diligently, constantly enriching and improving himself.
No longer haunted by the shadows of the past, he bravely looked ahead, pursuing a brighter future!
...
It was a morning in 1980, in a remote mountain village in Handong Province, the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs broke the morning silence.
The dilapidated wooden door of Qi Tongwei's house was pushed open, and a thin boy walked out.
His face was youthful, but his eyes were exceptionally firm, as if he held the determination to change his fate.
Qi Tongwei, this impoverished young man born in the countryside, understood his situation from a young age.
His parents worked tirelessly but still struggled to make ends meet.
However, Qi Tongwei was not crushed by fate, and from a young age he was determined to change his family's destiny through his own efforts.
With the help of the villagers, Qi Tongwei was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to school.
This opportunity was hard-won, so he cherished it dearly.
He studied diligently every day from morning till night, eagerly absorbing knowledge from his books.
Although living conditions were difficult, Qi Tongwei never gave up his dream—he wanted to go to university, leave this impoverished mountain village, and change his destiny.
Finally, through Qi Tongwei's relentless efforts, he was admitted to Handong University.
When the news spread throughout the village, it caused a sensation.
Qi Tongwei became the pride of the village, and his parents were proud and honored for him.
However, the tuition and living expenses for university became a challenge for Qi Tongwei.
With the help of the villagers, Qi Tongwei barely managed to raise the tuition fees.
But living expenses became a major problem.
He couldn't betray the villagers' expectations, and he couldn't disappoint his parents.
So, Qi Tongwei decided to take on part-time jobs to earn a living during his free time.
......
In his previous life, at university, Qi Tongwei met his first love – Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was a rich girl who didn't look down on Qi Tongwei's background.
On the contrary, she saw the tenacity and perseverance in Qi Tongwei, and she developed a deep affection for him.
Chen Yang often helped Qi Tongwei financially, assisting him through many difficult times.
Qi Tongwei was filled with gratitude towards Chen Yang, seeing her as a lifelong bond.
But fate always loves to play tricks on people.
Just as Qi Tongwei was about to graduate, Chen Yang passed away unexpectedly.
For Qi Tongwei, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
Unable to accept this cruel reality, he fell into deep sorrow.
After his grief, Qi Tongwei decided to study even harder, to honor Chen Yang's spirit in heaven.
He poured all his energy into his studies, graduating with excellent results and successfully joining the public security system.
In his work, Qi Tongwei, with his extraordinary talent and diligent spirit, quickly rose to prominence.
He repeatedly cracked major and important cases, earning countless honors for the public security system.
However, Qi Tongwei was not satisfied with this.
The road was still long, and he still had to work harder to realize his dreams.
So, he worked and studied even harder, constantly improving his abilities and qualities.
During this time, he met a woman who made his heart flutter – Gao Xiaoqin.
Gao Xiaoqin was a beautiful, elegant, and intelligent woman.
Like Qi Tongwei, she was from a poor background, but she had changed her destiny through her own efforts.
She admired Qi Tongwei's talent and perseverance, and she developed a deep affection for him.
They quickly got together and began a sweet love life.
But the good times didn't last long. Qi Tongwei offended some people in the public security system, causing him to fall into crisis.
Faced with powerful opponents and a difficult situation, Qi Tongwei didn't back down.
With his extraordinary intelligence and courage, he successfully resolved the crisis, and his position in the public security system became even more stable.
Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin went through many ups and downs together, but they always supported each other and faced difficulties together.
However, fate seemed to have not let him go yet.
……
After Hou Liangping drove him to his death, he was reborn in Handong University in 1992.
A group of students were playing basketball there, the youthful atmosphere filled the air.
Qi Tongwei, the renowned prodigy in Handong University, was standing at the edge of the court at this moment, his eyes piercingly focused on everything happening on the court.
Qi Tongwei's talent was evident in Handong University.
Not only was he brilliant academically, but he was also skilled in various sports, especially basketball.
However, his excellence didn't bring him many friends, instead, it made him the target of jealousy and ostracization from the rich kids.
Hou Liangping was one of these rich kids, he was proud of his prestigious family background and looked down on Qi Tongwei's talent.
“Qi Tongwei, do you think you're really that great? You're just a country bumpkin, what's so impressive about you?” Hou Liangping deliberately provoked Qi Tongwei on the court, trying to anger him.
However, Qi Tongwei remained unmoved, he gave a faint smile and didn't respond to Hou Liangping's provocation.
The game continued, Qi Tongwei moved effortlessly on the court, his impressive shots won thunderous applause from the audience.
However, Hou Liangping became increasingly impatient. Seeing that he couldn't defeat Qi Tongwei head-on, he started to think of underhanded ways.
After the game, Hou Liangping and his cronies surrounded Qi Tongwei.
“Qi Tongwei, don't get too cocky! Do you think you can really get a foothold here? Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to stay!” Hou Liangping said viciously.
Qi Tongwei didn't back down, he calmly looked at Hou Liangping, “Do you think you represent the whole of Handong University? Let me tell you, I got in here through my own hard work, not through the charity of you rich kids!”
Hou Liangping was enraged by Qi Tongwei's words and waved his hand, signaling his men to attack.
But just then, a clear voice came through, “Stop!”
It turned out to be Liang Lu, who had just walked by and saw what was happening.
Liang Lu was a classmate of Qi Tongwei's and the president of the Student Union at Handong University.
She had always harbored a good impression of Qi Tongwei, believing that he was a talented and ambitious person.
Seeing Hou Liangping bullying Qi Tongwei, she naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing.
“Hou Liangping, what are you doing? This is school, not a place for you to fight!” Liang Lu rebuked sternly.
