Wu Ming attends this run down underfunded middle school where he is brutally bullied and isolated.
His mother just recently passed away and little is known of the father, the teacher explains to the new TA, a high school senior volunteer.
The TA takes special interest in Wu Ming because he sees how smart he actually is and his potential if only he had a better support system.
He connects him with the school counselor, another overworked school staff that overlooked Wu Ming because of his repeated absences.
Wu Ming finds a ray of hope on this beautiful TA who is the only person who has not treated him with disgust or pity. His name is Xie Lian, and Wu Ming makes a vow to accomplish great success in the future to show his TA that he was right about him all along.
He yearns for the time they will get to spend together in school until the time he graduates.
Unfortunately, when the next semester arrives Xie Lian doesn’t come back and is replaced with another volunteer.
Not knowing anything about his beautiful TA, the only thing Wu Ming has to hold on to is the promise he made, not knowing if he will get to meet Xie Lian in the future or not.
