This film is part of the "Why Democracy?" series -- a documentary film series produced by Steps International.

In Evergreen Primary School of Wuhan, the third-grade class is being asked to choose between three candidates for the position of Class Monitor. They have their first encounter with democracy.

Each candidate must show their worthiness by performing in a talent show, participating in a debate, and making a speech while their parents do their best to make sure their child will win the election. They use all manner of schemes. Dirty tricks are played, bribes are given and positions are promised.

The director's intention is to determine how, if democracy came to China, it would be received. Will it be as irrational as the recent year's votes of Pop Idol?

这部影片是“为什么要民主”系列的一部分，这个系列的内容是Steps International出品的一些纪录片。

在武汉长青小学，三年级的学生要从三个候选人中选出班长，他们第一次接触到了民主。

每个候选人必须通过才艺表演、辩论和演讲来展示自己的价值。他们的家长也竭尽所能帮助自己的孩子胜出。他们绞尽脑汁，使用了不光彩的诡计，或者贿赂全班，还给某些人以职位的许诺。

导演的意图是想判断，民主进入中国后将会是什么样子。它会像近年的大众偶像的票选那样缺乏理性吗？
