King of the Children
An unschooled boy, among the numerous sufferers of Mao's Cultural Change, is labouring in the countryside when he is all of a sudden designated to teach in a near-by village college. Slowly, he discovers the confidence to ditch the Maoist book and also motivate the hardly literate kids to cover their own lives as well as feelings. At the same time, through a collection of dream-like meetings with a young cowherd, he begins to pick up the possibilities of a life past the criteria of standard education.
