Decades ago, in a remote village in China, a young girl named Xu defied all odds, breaking free from a family tradition rooted in generations of farm life.

From a young age, Xu sensed that her life could hold more than what fate had dictated. Through grit, resilience, and unwavering courage, she rose above her circumstances and stepped through the gates of one of China’s most prestigious universities.

Despite her shyness, Xu pursued her dreams with unwavering tenacity, ignoring the voices that labeled her a "mediocre student." By her third year, her ambition grew bolder—she set her sights on studying in the United States, the land of opportunity. People laughed at her, calling her dream impossible. She had no standout grades, limited resources, and shaky English. But that didn’t stop her.

Determined to make her dream a reality, she burned the ships, and took audacious actions, ready to face whatever challenges thrown her way. And it was through this unbreakable faith, despite countless ordeals, that the universe finally aligned.
