The film tells the story of a mother who left her four illegitimate children and left alone, and her brother Ming led a difficult life with three younger siblings.

Ming, the eldest of the children, assumed the role of parent after his mother left. He not only needs to pay attention to the daily expenses and surplus, but also take care of his younger siblings. The manager of the convenience store framed him for stealing, but Ming didn't resist, he just said lightly that he didn't take anything. He didn't have the anger and roar, sadness and sadness that he should have when he was framed, because he was afraid that his little family would be found out. For the same reason, even after his sister Xue was injured, he did not call the hospital, but silently buried Xue's cold body in the ground. Everything Ming has done is to prevent this family from being overwhelmed and dismantled. At the age of 12, at the age when he should have been studying in school and loved by his parents, Ming has already begun to take on everything in life. In Ming, I felt some kind of stubborn power.

Shahi is a wealthy girl with a good education, but she is caught in school bullying. Ming was abandoned by his friends because of the smell at home, Shahi was excluded from the campus, and they both developed a kind of psychological intimacy because of the exclusion. Shahi later joined Ming's small group. This corner that is almost forgotten by the world has its ups and downs.

In the end, after Shaxi and Ming buried Xiaoxue, the two slowly paced forward along the sea-crossing bridge with their heads lowered, and the vehicles galloped past in the company of the orange morning sun. Nothing special today, and life will go on tomorrow.
