Wu Furong, 37, is a teacher in Jianyang city, southwest China's Sichuan province. She goes to school on her husband's back every day. To the warm applause of students, she starts a new day on the plinth. Afflicted with a serious rheumatoid disease in 2006, she sought treatment in Jianyang People's Hospital and from many famous TCM doctors, but nothing helped. Deformed joints and claudication make it difficult for her to move forward and walk up and down stairs. She tosses and turns all night in damp weather and changing seasons due to the pain.

This lovely teacher has never asked for leave and has devoted herself to education for ten years. Committed to "loving my career and caring about my students", her classes achieve excellent academic performance.

Meanwhile, Wu Furong benefits from the deep love of her husband Yang Zhihua. Yang is also a teacher. She wakes up at 6 a.m. every day. He helps her to dress and combs her hair in the morning, carries Wu home after school in the afternoon, washes her feet and does massage for her in the evening. At such times, Wu experiences a complicated mix of bitter and sweet feelings.
