A growth story about a female teacher who spent over a decade earning a permanent teaching post in a rural school. She faces constant suppression from veteran teachers and betrayal by a scheming young colleague. Her life is bleak, yet filled with one bizarre incident after another. A female teacher shows off the gold bracelet the principal gave her on the flag-raising platform, while his wife and mistress tug each other’s hair on the playground, cheered on by the students. Does proximity to the corrupt make you corrupt? Not at all. The teacher keeps to herself and works on her own growth.
