Daughter of Guang Nan. The little dream of a Chinese girl

Ten-year-old Yanxuan lives in the South Chinese Mountains and loves what every girl loves: singing and dancing like the stars on television. 

Her greatest wish, though, is to celebrate her birthday with the whole family. But her parents work far away.
