In this short scene, the fourth-year student, Ren, is struggling with his drawing. He is worried that his brother, sheng, will find out that he is not doing well in his studies. He asks sheng to draw again, but sheng refuses to help him. He tells Ren that he must go back to his original point of view, and he asks Ren to paint again. Ren is amazed that sheng has changed his attitude toward learning. He feels that life cannot be all about learning, and that he should look up to the world and see things that are interesting. Ren tells sheng that he has something urgent to tell him, but he will tell him more about it later.
