Lin Yijian, 14, Xiamen, Fujian

I got through a hard time in Junior 2 when my grades suddenly dropped（下降）a lot. I faced great pressure. In the following summer vacation, I worked really hard by studying from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm every day. It was crazy, but when I got back to the front seat of the class, I felt everything had been worthwhile (值得的).
