He decided to Japan to study, do not change their culture, life, family and daughter turn for the better. However, about 30,000 yuan of the high tuition fees again he was shocked at that time, 30,000 dollars for the average working class, it can be regarded as an astronomical figure it! Those days, the small still awake at night. He has been thinking about her daughter Ding Lin, and his stand in the heart of the oath. Ding Shangbiao after wrestling with that opportunity is at hand, success or failure, and only tried to know, just maybe, it really is time to change their fate of a family of three heaven-sent machine good.
