Education is a topic of collective anxiety across all social classes in China. Countless families exhaust all resources to send their children abroad, hoping for a better education. As a mother of two and a journalist who has reported on international news for many years, Zhou Yijun feels the same anxiety. Yijun visits five countries: Finland, Japan, India, Israel, and the UK, ultimately returning to China to embark on a journey of reflection on educational philosophy. In Finland, where education is non-competitive, how can one teach children about success or failure? In India, with its vast wealth disparity, how can online education bridge the gap between children? How does Japan, with its strong collective consciousness, help children understand the balance between individuality and teamwork? The film explores classroom experiences from a child's perspective, different educational methods from a parent's viewpoint, and offers profound reflections on education through the cultural and historical lenses of various societies. Throughout this journey of exploration, Yijun also recalls her own childhood and undergoes a journey of self-examination.
