The book is divided into four parts: "Grade 1", "Grade 2", "Grade 3" and "Grade 4". The time line is clear. Each part contains a number of story units named after iconic events. There are humorous anecdotes between classmates from all over the world, vivid images of teachers with different personalities and tempers, and the author's personal reflections on different cultures. The author uses his own real experience as a reference to describe the growth process of a Chinese international student who completely cut off contact with his mother tongue and gradually adapted to American education and culture in a completely new environment.
