When her father dies, leaving Lu Si-Yan's family in poverty, her uncle decides to sell her. Lu Si-Yan is eleven, and regarded as 'spilled water' - a waste. 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 refuses to spend her life in servitude and is determined to be reunited with her beloved mother and brother.
