Reviews & Awards

“What moved me about this film are the left-behind children in the mountain village. It made us think more about family, education and society. Documentaries are not about seeking novelty but seeing something that resonates with you.” Yi Tian, Douban reviewer “It’s rare to see such a true documentary about education.” Ling Zi De Jiao Luo, Douban reviewer
