In a bustling city lined with steel and concrete, 30-year-old Wu Re made a decision that shocked everyone - to give up his high-paying Internet product manager job and use all his savings to take over a kindergarten on the verge of bankruptcy in the old city.
No one understands why he wants to jump out of his comfort zone and get into the seemingly troubled area of "children's pile". Only he knows that the regret of lack of companionship in childhood and the longing eyes of children when he accidentally saw them playing in the narrow corridor have already planted a seed in his heart. He wanted to build a "fortress of childlike innocence" so that urban children could have a world where they could run freely and imagine freely, and also so that busy parents could rest assured.
However, real problems ensued. The dilapidated school building needs to be renovated, limited funds are stretched, and parents are questioning when enrolling students - "Does a grown man know how to take care of children?" "How can I run a kindergarten without professional experience in early childhood education?" Just when Wu Re was in trouble, Li Bing, who was once the gold medal director of a well-known kindergarten, unexpectedly appeared.
Li Bing resigned due to disagreement with his former employer's philosophy. He originally planned to take a break, but was moved by Wu Re's stubbornness and sincerity, and even more attracted by his "child-oriented" philosophy, and decided to join this "unreliable" team. She brought professional early childhood education experience and systematic management methods, and became Wu Re's most solid partner.
