In the remote Langdonggou, villager Li Shoushan accidentally rescued the injured young crane "Dayu" and embarked on a journey of protection across the cold winter. He built a thermal insulation shed, hired a veterinarian to treat his injuries, and practiced flying with Dayu. The villagers also extended a helping hand and formed a deep bond with the red-crowned crane family.
However, when Dayu was about to recover, Li Shoushan injured his left leg while buying dried fish. The huge medical expenses and Hequn's ration expenses put the family in a desperate situation. He hoped for government subsidies, but he encountered difficulties and pushback from the township elder Liu - his application for subsidies was suppressed, his well-intentioned suggestions were rejected, and he even witnessed Liu misappropriating funds and squandering funds.
Just when the predicament was about to break, Wang Yang, a reporter from the provincial newspaper, accidentally heard about the incident and recorded the warmth and reef of Langdonggou with his camera and pen. This is not only a story about a person and a group of cranes, but also a battle about protection, justice and hope. The pure goodwill in the mountains and fields is hidden between the lines, and it also reflects the contradictions and brightness in reality. In the end, it gives birth to the promise of reunion in spring in the cold winter.
