Spoilers ahead
Wang Zi Hao is a Primary 6 expatriate student from Shanghai who faces persistent academic struggles at Yuzher Primary School in Singapore. He battles with English, Mathematics, Chinese, and Science, while spending long hours at home absorbed in video games. His strict mother counters this by channeling his energy into intense memorisation drills and a relentless schedule of tuition classes at Xin Yuan Fei Edu Hub (新源飞教育一站式). Despite the heavy workload, Zi Hao shines in Chinese and Mathematics, so tuition isn’t needed for those subjects.
