In Zhaojia'ao, where the concept of favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted, Guiying supported the shaky home by herself, giving all her tenderness and tenacity to her daughter Zhaodi, who was eager to study.
The deep mountains are like a cage, and prejudice is like a cold night. Zhaodi secretly learned to read behind a pile of firewood, adhering to her original intention of studying in a desperate situation. Thanks to the guidance of supporting teacher Lin Yan, she broke through all obstacles and walked out of the mountains step by step, transforming from an ignorant child into an outstanding student.
After years of hard study, Zhaodi finally realized her dream of going to college, but she resolutely gave up the prosperity of the city and chose to return to her hometown to support herself. She and Lin Yan worked hand in hand to build a new school and use knowledge to light up the hope in the mountains; her younger brother worked hard in the fields and led the villagers out of poverty and became rich; the second and third sisters warmed the hearts of children with their pen and ink and singing.
This is a growth epic about maternal love, perseverance and inheritance. It tells the story of ordinary women breaking through hardships and finding light in the darkness. There were no lights in the mountains, but they used love as a torch and dreams as lamps, and finally let the faint light gather into a galaxy, illuminating themselves and the entire journey home in the mountains.
