Filmed in a small town in rural Anhui, this series follows the everyday lives of ordinary families, teachers and children over the course of a school year. The schools the students attend are like thousands of others across China, but their personal stories reveal a side of the country that's seldom seen. Through stories of hardship and success, this series paint an extraordinary portrait not just of a group of children and a town, but of a country balancing centuries of tradition with modern life.
