Parents of 6-year-old Long died from AIDS, the boy also was HIV-positive - it was the reason for his rejection of the local village community. Long survives in his hut alone: it has a garden, chickens, one dog and a pension of 70 yuan.
Long lives in a small village in the province of Guangxi. He is an orphan - mother and father died of AIDS. For the rural society, he became an outcast - local school refuses to accept Long, arguing that does not guarantee his safety (parents of some students threatened to kill the boy if they see it in the classroom with their children). The local doctor refuses to treat as Long, afraid of contracting HIV from him. Refused to take the boy to his home, even his 84-year-old grandmother. However, from time to time grandmother grandson visits, helping him take care of the garden.
