Lizzie (Sola Birch Thora Birch) was born in the slums of the United States, suffering from a family riddled with holes from an early age, her parents were addicted to alcohol and drugs, and her mother suffered from schizophrenia. Poor Liz needs to go out to beg, wandering in the corners of the city, the suffering of life seems endless. As she grew up, Liz knew that only by becoming a student could she change her destiny and get out of the quagmire. She got a test paper from the teacher, finished the paper beautifully, and got the chance to read. From now on, Lizzie begins her journey on the long road to study. She tried every means to apply for a full scholarship to Harvard and didn't even have a decent dress for the interview. However, poverty did not stop Lizzie's determination to move forward, and the struggle that never flinched is the eternal theme in her life.
