Xuzhi meets and befriends seven-year-old Mu Liansheng (Chen Sinuo), who she quickly realizes is being abused at home by her mother and mother's boyfriend. One night, Xuzhi finds Liansheng tied up alone in a closet after a fire breaks out in the latter's house. Xuzhi takes the girl into her own care, and they flee from Dalian to Beijing.
