Walking to School (Mandarin: 走路上学 | English: Zou lu shang xue) is a 2009 Chinese film directed by Peng Chen and Peng Jiahuang and starring Ding Jiali and Anamuling.[1] The film was screened at the Shanghai International Film Festival and won awards at the Pyongyang International Film Festival and the 11th Abuja International Film Festival.[2][3][4]
In a village in the Yunnan province of Southern China, going to school is a treacherous and hard task for the local Lisu people and involves sliding over a narrow valley between hills or mountains, typically with steep rocky walls and a stream running through it via a cable. Two siblings – consisting of an elder sister Naxiang and her younger brother Wawa – lived in the village. Naxiang manages the hard path of going to school, but Wawa is too young. However, he is desperate to learn and secretly makes the dangerous journey so he can listen to his sister Naxiang's lessons in school.[5][6]
