Keeping Watch at the Hour

This is the story of several families with children left behind in a small county town. To give their children a better education, they leave the countryside and move into town, renting homes in different corners and repeating much the same daily routine.

But behind every story of children left behind lies a different kind of hardship. Marriages and fidelity strained by long separations are tested by the harsh realities of life, while reforms to the education system put the adaptability of those in charge and families of left-behind children under a brutally frank examination!

Life's blueprint keeps revealing the essence of its story. We wander through helplessness and struggle amid confusion. Let the paths we walk in life bear witness to our souls!
