When his mother left, A Li met his father for the last time. His father gave him a stone, and the two made a promise to meet again. Seventeen years later, A Li, who had grown up relying on his grandfather, worked at Uncle Liu’s courier station. As the wind power project advanced, the white giants in the distance gradually approached the village. Looking at the unfulfilled promise, A Li decided to go out and search for his father. His father saw A Li, but Ali did not leave, nor could he ever leave again.
