Synopsis

Ma Wu Jia lives with his sick mother and his younger brother, Wu Ding, in a small town in Guangxi Province. His brother suffers from kidney disease. Ma Wu Jia leaves school to take a job in a factory to support his family; he gives up running to become his brother’s blood donor; and, when his brother loses two fingers playing on a railway track, Ma Wu Jia sacrifices two of his own as transplants for Wu Ding. His life is one unending sacrifice … and yet, when he takes the biggest decision of his life towards the film’s end, some would still call him a bad boy.
