兩個典型農民工的故事。張知麗帶兒子出城打工，兩女兒成了「留守兒童」，長女初長成，已希望效法雙親，輟學離鄉工作。楊繡青以去世丈夫的撫恤金為子女買了城市戶口，怎料仍要交高昂的學費，結果她讓大女兒停學工作，繼續供小兒子上學。
These are true tales of the peasants: Zhang takes her son with her to work in the city, leaving two daughters behind. Incidentally, the older daughter can't wait to follow in her mother's footsteps. Yang buys her children urban residence permits with the compensation for the death of her husband. Schooling in the city turns out to be so expensive that her older daughter has to drop out and earn her own living while Yang continues to work hard to pay for her younger son's tuition.

2002年，韓培印的兒子勝利考上了西安一所大學，從農村來到城市。為了讓勝利上學，老韓變賣了家裏所有值錢的東西，到西安打工，為兒子解決大學的生活費和來年的學費。做了一輩子農民的老韓堅信知識會改變命運，他樂觀地盼望著，兒子上了大學，將來一定會有出息。
勝利面臨畢業，性格內向的他面對強大的就業壓力，感覺這個城市越來越遠，上過大學的他很可能賺得比父親還要少。
有一個本子被老韓隨身裝了好幾年，裏面記滿了三年來十元、二十元的借款記錄，以及他對兒子勝利的期望：“我兒勝利要在2013前後，也就是父親的60歲前後，咱們全家到北京好好的玩幾天，那時候咱們大家都很有錢……”
In China, HAN has sold off all the family’s home valuables and now works in Xi an city to make money for his son to go to college.

We will have plenty of money by then…”
