Great movie. It changed my fiancée's life, gave her a goal in life that we will fulfill together: to move to an impoverished village and teach, hopefully helping reinforce the importance of education.
Teacher Xia comes from Beijing to help teach kids in an impoverished village. She is befriended by a local (Teacher Zhang) who had endeavored to teach the children earlier, but had run up against the limits of her own lack of education. There is a good amount of "City Mouse - Country Mouse" culture shock as Teacher Xia gets accustomed to life in a literally dry county. This movie shows the nobility and strength of human spirit when people are faced with nearly nothing. It celebrates the sacrifice of those who give of themselves to help, and reminds us that we all get more when we willingly give up material comfort for the benefit of someone else.
If you are a Chinese language student, the speech is pretty easy to understand, not much problem with the accent.
