When her father dies, leaving Lu Si-Yan's family in poverty, her uncle decides to sell her. Lu Si-Yan is eleven. Because she is a girl, she is considered 'spilled water' - a waste. An award-winning, inspirational story of one girl's triumph.
From her idyllic home in the Chinese countryside to the smog-wrapped factories of the big city, Lu Si-Yan's journey is a difficult one. But she remembers her father's words - 'The journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath your feet' - and is determined to be reunited with her beloved mother and brother.
