Synopsis
In a Dai village in Xishuangbanna during the summer holidays, a lonely boy, Yan Hanjian, plays with fireflies and draws the attention of Yang Yuting, a girl from Kunming. She learns that some villagers catch fireflies to sell and wants to save them, while Yan Hanjian hides the fact that his own mother catches them. Late one night the two set off in secret. They find no fireflies, but become good friends. At the Starlight Market, Yang Yuting discovers that Yan Hanjian's mother is selling fireflies; seeing his mother selling them alongside the village group leader, the boy runs to the riverbank in tears. When the rainy season arrives, the two children say goodbye to each other, and to their childhood.
