3 brothers and a sister send their big sister to her wedding, ethnic Yi people, also known as Mountain Yi, cause these people living in deep mountians, are exempted from China's decades old one child policy, so Yi families usually have many children, according to the Chinese law, ethnic minorities receive preferential policies in every aspect of life, one of them is exemption of the one child policy.

Yi people and Tibetans live in the same region, there's lot of overlaps between the two, Yis are generally thought to be a crude version of Tibetans, living a very primitive stone age life until PRC was established.

High speed bullet train arrived in Daliang Mountain, and the local government remodelled the old " slow trains" into school students commuter trains running through several ethnic Yi mountain villages to send the village children to the schools and take them back home. The remodeled trains enable the students to preview , review their study and do their homework on the train.
