To the sound of waves, the sky is lit up by the dawning sun and a moving story about the only school left on a remote island of Dongtou district, Wenzhou, slowly unfolds.

A documentary titled A Light Over the Island, the graduation work of three students from Zhejiang University City College, aired on the documentary channel of CGTN on Jan 26.

The 23-minute work was created by Duan Yuchen, Dai Yiting and Yu Ziyi, who majored in television broadcasting science at the university's School of Journalism and Communication.

The film focuses on Luxi Primary School, the only school on Luxi Island, where people mostly fish for a living. The school currently accommodates no more than 200 students and teachers. Despite its remote location and small enrollment, students there receive careful and considerate care from the principal and teachers.
