You Were Supposed to Go Undercover As A Teacher, How Did You End Up as The Principal?

Lu Ze, 24 years old, a straight-through bachelor’s and master’s graduate from Peking University, thought he’d become an excellent teacher after graduation. But… “Lu Ze, tomorrow you’ll go to No. 3 High School’s Rocket Class as a temporary homeroom teacher. Remember, you’re going undercover. Your mission is to mislead those students.” To carry out the mission, Lu Ze is forced to make a series of morally questionable moves: “Our class gets a full weekend off. No morning or evening self-study.” “Phones are allowed.” “No dating in front of me.” “Teachers aren’t allowed to assign any homework.” “…” Everything he’s doing is being livestreamed 24/7 on a reality show called Model Teachers. The show also features rocket classes from two other high schools: A strict 1980s-born homeroom teacher who enforces discipline with military-like precision. A 1990s-born homeroom teacher who relies on emotional coaching and daily motivational speeches. And then there’s Lu Ze, born in the 2000s—who lives by one motto: “Enjoy life while you can.” At first, no one had any faith in Lu Ze’s class. But… Two months later… “Lu Ze, what the h*ll happened? Why did your class do so well on the midterms?” Lu Ze: “Maybe their foundation was too good. Just wait—by finals, their scores will definitely drop!” End of the semester… “Lu Ze, what’s going on?” Lu Ze: “Hang in there—next semester, their scores will fall for sure.” One year later… “LU ZE!!” Lu Ze: “Don’t worry…” Many years later… “You were supposed to go undercover at No. 3 High School—how did you end up as principal?!”
