万山县“手拉手” (shou-la-shou: Hand-in-Hand) 办公室接到一封北京来信，信上说要出一笔钱，帮助一个困难的孩子读书。但是，信里提出了几个奇怪的条件：被帮助的孩子生日必须是1990年5月4日，必须是女孩，必须住在周围开满茶花的地方，还有，不能让她和家人知道谁帮助了她们……

方小草的条件跟好心人的要求正合适，她可以用这笔钱上学，她还接到那人寄来的一个大包，里面除了笔、本子 (benzi: notebook)、书，还有一件好看的红衬衫。

12年以后，方小草考 (kao: to test, to examine)上了北京的大学，她要到北京去找那位好心人 (haoxinren: good Samaritan, good-hearted people)。但是，那个人的情况她一点都不知道，再说，中国这12年变化这么大……她能找到他吗？那位好心人为什么要提出那些奇怪的要求？还有，他为什么要寄给她那件红衬衫……？

The "Hand-in-Hand" Office of Wanshan County received an odd letter from Beijing. The author said that she would like to sponsor the education of a child in poverty through university. Her requirements: the child had to be a girl, be born on May 4, 1990, and her home be surrounded by camellias in bloom. Furthermore, the office was not allowed to let her or her family know the identity of the benefactor. How strange...

Fang Xiaocao, coincidentally, met all of these requirements. In addition to paying for her attendance, the anonymous person sent her a package containing school supplies, as well as a nice red shirt.

Twelve years later, Xiaocao was admitted to a university in Beijing. She wanted to use the opportunity to find the mysterious good Samaritan. However, she knew nothing about her; China, too, had changed greatly in those twelve years. Would she find her?
