But for the students in one small village in China, it is difficult. There is a very big river between their school and the village. There is no bridge and the river runs too quickly for boats.

One 11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the river every school day. But he is not afraid because he loves school. love to play with my classmates.
And I love my teacher. Hes like a father to me.” Many of the students and villagers never leave the village. It is their dream to have a bridge. Can their dream come true?
