In a corner of the city, sunlight filtered through mottled leaves, spilling across the campus of a remote school and painting it in a wash of golden light. Traveling light and with a minimal entourage, Lin Yu stepped once more into this school that had once been dilapidated and backward. Today, the campus bore little resemblance to its past self, brimming everywhere with vibrant life and vitality.

From that moment on, Lin Yu's heart had remained closely tied to these remote schools. He knew well that every step of reform was fraught with challenges, and today he had come to see whether those efforts were beginning to bear fruit.
Just as he stepped into the teaching building, a wave of lively discussion drifted out from a classroom. Lin Yu gently pushed the door open to see a young teacher participating in the rotation standing at the podium, guiding the students through a spirited group discussion. The blackboard was densely covered with various viewpoints and train-of-thought notes. The students sat grouped together in circles, freely expressing their opinions, their faces radiating a hunger for knowledge and a passion for exploration.
