Do you have a sister? Do on get on well with each other?

Unluckily, when she was preparing for an important exam, her parents died in a car accident. She became the only family of her younger brother, She faced a difficult choice between pursuing (追求) her own life and raising her younger brother. After thinking for a long time, An Ran decided to send her 6-year-old brother to a foster family (寄养家庭). However, some of her relatives didn’t agree to the decision.
