The Glory of Youth
Season 1, Episode 12: The Elder Village's Bizarre Training Holds Deeper Meaning
Select Source
Upon hearing Yu Quanhai was leaving, Xia Zhuo came specially to see him off. Yu Quanhai told Xia Zhuo meaningfully that every person one encounters should not be experienced in vain; what matters most is what one can learn and gain insight from them. After enduring the grueling boot camp, the group reentered the Elders' Village, the final stop of the selection camp. Lin Anbang lay awake that night, reminiscing about his university days with Xia Zhuo, Ouyang Jun, and Yi Zimeng. Training in the Elder Village officially commenced. Lang Yongcheng rode a small motorcycle while leading them on a 10-kilometer run, challenging them: whoever touched the motorcycle's rear first at the finish line would treat him to Hunan rice noodles.
