劇情簡介：

Wawa, a seven-year-old boy of Lisu ethnicity in Yunnan province, is very envious of his sister Naxiang's life in school. The family lives in a remote place on a mountain and his sister must cross a zipline over a river to attend classes on the other side. Wawa's mother refuses to let Wawa cross the zipline because he's too young. One day, unable to resist the temptation, Wawa crosses the river himself without permission, just to see how the kids at his sister's school play and study. When a teacher, Nie, visits Wawa's home with a pair of red rain boots for Naxiang, Wawa's secret is revealed, angering his mother. Wawa has never seen such new shoes in his life, and promises to never cross the zipline again on the condition that he gets to keep the boots. But the next day, the kind Wawa returns his sister's boots.
瓦娃是一個7歲的傈傈族男孩，生活在云南，他非常羨慕姐姐娜香的校園生活。他家住在很遠的山上，他的姐姐必須溜索過江才能到對岸的學校上課。瓦娃的媽媽以他太小為由不讓他溜索。一天，瓦娃難以抵擋誘惑，沒經過允許自己過江，只為看看姐姐學校里的孩子是怎么玩耍、學習的。一天，聶老師來瓦娃家給娜香送一雙紅雨鞋，瓦娃的秘密被戳破了，他媽媽非常生氣。瓦娃有生以來第一次看見這樣的新鞋，并答應如果給他能保有這雙雨鞋就再也不會溜索了。但是第二天，善良的瓦娃就把雨鞋還給了姐姐。

Naxiang encounters the teacher, Nie, at a store, and Nie buys a new pair of boots just for Wawa. The excited Naxiang hurries home to bring his brother his gift, but slips from the zipline, falls into the river and dies. From then on, Wawa is terrified of the zipline and has never crossed the river.
娜香在一個商店里碰到了聶老師，聶老師給瓦娃買了一雙新雨鞋。激動的娜香急匆匆地回家給弟弟送禮物，卻滑下繩索掉入江中溺亡。從那以后，瓦娃非常害怕繩索，再也沒過過江。

Six months later, donations allow a bridge to be built between the two mountains and Wawa finally gets to walk to school, wearing the boots his sister wanted to give to him.
六個月后，有人捐款在兩山之間修了一座橋，瓦娃終于能走路上學了，他腳上穿的是他姐姐想要送給他的鞋。
