In Dadai, a remote mountain village in southwest China's Guizhou Province, poverty once forced many children to drop out of school to work in the fields. For generations, this cycle seemed impossible to break.

This CGTN documentary follows Dadai over five years, showing how sustained investment in educational resources is transforming classrooms, supporting families and reshaping the village's future.
