In dormitory 206, a few male students about to graduate live together. They spend their days eating, chatting, playing cards, and using their phones, merely passing their youth to get a high school diploma. Finally, high school graduation arrives, but where does the future lie? Should they work or continue to aim for a junior college? Facing such students, it is difficult for teachers to show enthusiasm for teaching. The grades cannot be good, the pay is not high, and they just drift along, waiting for the school relocation to happen soon. Only Teacher Hou diligently wipes the bulletin board, as always. Teacher Hou is not good at socializing; most of the time in life, he sits alone in silence. The original site of Duancun Middle School in Pingyao County was an ancient temple from the Ming dynasty, where a charity school was established in the late Qing Dynasty, and a primary school was set up in the early Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a county-run junior high school was established, followed by a county-run high school in the 1980s. In 2001, the high school expanded its enrollment, reaching over 1,400 students, prompting the school to construct a new teaching building on the playground. By the summer of 2011, over 150 students from the school merged with two other high schools, moving into the new city campus. Grass grew on the playground, and the old teaching building continued to house the doorman Lao Mi and his family. Director's Biography Guo Hengqi, born in 1979 in Shanxi, China.

My grandfather, father, and younger brother all studied here. When I heard that Duancun Middle School was going to move into the city, all the teachers and students cheered with joy, eagerly looking forward to that day to embrace the city. The teaching building on the playground went from newly built to abandoned in just ten years; yet, this place has been a school for nearly a hundred years and a building for nearly five hundred years; however, no one cares about this. When I was a student, we had great respect for all our teachers. When I became a teacher, students across from me, smoking, said to me maturely, "Who would be a teacher now if they could do something else? Right?" In thirty years of economic development, what else have we changed? "School is where education originates," it can "be based on the virtues of filial piety and brotherly respect," it can "cultivate oneself and rectify others," but now all schools cannot have these virtues; instead, ideological and political education has replaced them, and exams have become the sole purpose of education and learning. In rural schools, facing meager salaries and unruly students, teachers have lost the heart to teach and the ability to impart knowledge; the dignity of the teaching profession has been trampled. Students are tired of studying, skipping class, doing nothing and feeling lost, confused, restless, squandering their youth while yearning for the city's prosperity, dreaming that one day they can get something for nothing. But can these issues be solely attributed to the failure of education? A more important reason comes from the influence of this society on them. Their understanding of the world is inseparable from their living environment, geographical location, social class, and so on. Just as their textbooks mention: "Consciousness is the brain's response to the objective world." Their words, actions, mental state, and value recognition reflect the current reality of rural society. They are the future of rural society, yet from a factual perspective, they are very likely to become idle vagrants in society. Behind the decline of a hundred-year-old school lies the collapse of the cultural values system in rural society. From now on, "seeking propriety from the wild" has become a kind of luxury.
