Details

As a seemingly average girl, Little Tien had experienced a huge twist in her childhood-she lost her father. Since then, Tien’s mother has taken on the responsibility of raising her and escorts her to school every morning. Tien studies at a tiny school with few students, and she’s the only left and possibly a lonely one after the six-graders graduated. Still, Tien loves to go to school because the principal, seen as a father in her heart, is warm-hearted, and the young teacher Ms. Huang, though sometimes easily irritated, is funny and interesting. However, everything Tien treasures isn’t going to last long, since the Education Bureau has decided to close her school in one semester.
Tien cannot do anything but hope time goes by slower so that she can savor every moment at the school. Possibly due to psychological reasons, Tien finds that things happening in her school seem to be in slow motion, and they are so slow that she can capture and draw down all the details. Yet, Ms. Huang doesn’t appreciate her paintings. Fortunately, the principal keeps encouraging Tien to draw whatever she sees, for those are what she truly feels and how she perceives the world—the most precious of all.
