Qia Tongxue Shaonian

In 1913, Changsha, Hunan. The renowned educator Kong Zhaoshou becomes principal of Hunan No. 1 Normal School and implements progressive reforms, hiring distinguished teachers like Yang Changji. The revitalized school attracts many applicants, including 19-year-old Mao Zedong, who enters with the highest exam score.

Alongside fellow aspiring youths Cai Hesen and Xiao Zisheng, Mao forges deep friendships. They connect with female students from a nearby normal school—Tao Siyong, Xiang Jingyu, and Yang Kaihui—through shared ideals. Together, they form a reading club where they exchange ideas and debate.

But the turbulent political climate shatters their campus life. When warlord Tang Xiangming forces Principal Kong out and Mao barely escapes arrest, the harsh realities of power and conflict shake his faith in education and reform as a path to save the nation.
