In 1977, Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who had just returned, presided over a symposium on scientific and educational work and made a decision to resume the college entrance examination that year. On October 12 of the same year, the State Council officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. This news was like a spring thunder, awakening the silent hearts of hundreds of millions of people in the land of Shenzhou.

Wang Xufeng, one of the first to be admitted to college, wrote a family letter to his mother.
"On the day I received the university notice, a group of our college entrance examination admittes were lying on the railing of the corridor of the unit, and when they heard the news, they hugged up with their classmates on the spot and shouted. I no longer doubt that the best future lies ahead. How can we have such a great fortune that our generation has really waited for this era. Dear Mom, from now on, your daughter's fate has changed completely. ”
In the letter, she told her mother about the bits and pieces before and after she took the college entrance examination, showing her desire to study and the excitement of changing her fate through the details between the lines, and also showing how the restoration of the college entrance examination system changed the fate of a generation of young people and the fate of China.
