> Resumos de Dream of Golden Years
In the summer of 1998, a young Xia Xiaolan stood on a hospital rooftop, devastated by the loss of her parents and contemplating ending her life. Her aunt arrived just in time to pull her back from the edge, urging her to move forward and take control of her own future. Returning to the reality of 1983, the mood in Qijing Village was celebratory. Xiaolan and her friend Chen Qing were honored for their university admissions.
Xiaolan had achieved the top score in Yunan Province, while Chen Qing secured a spot at a capital university. Xiaolan’s uncle, Liu Yong, hosted a banquet for the village, where Liu Fen shared the quiet news that Xia Dajun had vanished immediately after their divorce. Later, Chen Qing’s mother brought word of a phone call from Zhou Cheng, who reached out to congratulate Xiaolan and tease her about a surprise gift for her upcoming birthday.
In the capital, Zhou Cheng’s mother, Director Guan, questioned him about his frequent trips to Yunan. Zhou Cheng spoke of Xiaolan with deep admiration, noting that her unique English study methods had significantly boosted his academic performance. He confessed his feelings for her, explaining how he respected her decision to rely on her own merit rather than his family's status. Director Guan was impressed to hear that the young woman had not only topped her province but ranked third nationally.
True to his word, Zhou Cheng visited the village with a birthday cake. The celebration was warm, filled with laughter and shared moments with Liu Yong and the family. Xiaolan reflected on her journey, wondering if the original owner of this body would be satisfied with the path she had forged. Soon after, a television interview featuring Xiaolan was broadcast.
During the interview, Xiaolan subtly addressed the wrist injury she had sustained before the exam, using the platform to encourage other students to remain resilient in the face of adversity. That evening, in a quiet moment on a swing, Xiaolan finally stopped running from her feelings and agreed to enter a relationship with Zhou Cheng. Justice also began to unfold.
Police informed Xiaolan that Sun Er-Mazi had confessed to being instigated by Xia Changzheng to sabotage her gaokao by injuring her hand. Xiaolan urged the police to investigate further, specifically mentioning her cousin Xia Ziyu’s suspicious involvement. Shortly after, news broke that Xia Ziyu had become a wanted fugitive for her role as the mastermind behind the harassment.
At her clothing store, Xiaolan faced questions from her family about her role in these events but remained composed, having successfully turned the tables on those who targeted her. Before leaving for university, she donated her study notes and methods to Principal Sun to assist future students. Xiaolan’s acceptance letter from Huaqing University arrived, confirming her admission to the School of Architecture.
Reflecting on the entrance exam, she realized that the questions differed from her past memories, signaling that her presence was indeed reshaping the timeline. By 1984, Xiaolan and her mother, Liu Fen, left for the capital. Life in the capital proved to be both rigorous and rewarding. By 1985, Xiaolan’s clothing store, "Blue Phoenix," had successfully expanded. By 1986, a museum project she designed with classmates earned a national award, allowing her the possibility of early graduation.
She was also warmly received by Zhou Cheng’s family during the Spring Festival. Investing in her future, she purchased a property in the capital, insisting her mother hold onto it as a vital asset. However, challenges persisted. In 1987, during a national English competition, Xiaolan was inexplicably snubbed by the press. Upon questioning, she discovered that the deliberate exclusion was orchestrated by Wang Guangping, the president of the English Association—who was none other than Wang Jianhua’s father.
