Mike’s father could not find a wife because of his poor family background, so he bought a woman, who already had a daughter, for 2000 RMB in 2000. When Mike and his brother, Ralph (Jia Shao Jie), were born, the financial burden became too heavy for his father to bear, and he suffered a mental collapse. His mother left, taking her daughter with her. His father died in 2001, and Mike and his brother went to live with an uncle. The uncle had a blind mother to care for and could not provide for the boys. Although the boys were thin, frail and scarred, from lack of care, they responded rapidly to their new environment. They not only caught up in their studies, but also became polite, clean and loveable kids.
