For the Children
In response to the death of her husband and young son, peasant Zhang Meili founds a school in the dry desert landscape of northwest China.

Various subplots include the arrival of Xia's husband, who tries in vain to persuade her to return to the city, Xia's quick abortion, and the comically clandestine relationship between Zhang and a local projectionist.
