The boss asked him to sit at the door and perform to attract business. When Charles is depressed, what he wants to do most is not to flee his hometown, but to study hard, otherwise his fate may continue like this.
Charles managed to make many friends of his own age and asked them for some second-hand books, including Chinese, math and science. Charles teaches himself eagerly every day.
