The Silent Journey Home

On the morning of his 28th birthday, Chu Nian's world was muted by a car accident notification. Her parents passed away suddenly, and she was so calm at the funeral that it was surprising, but when she faced the last box of dumplings made by her mother in the refrigerator late at night, she heard a loud collapse in her heart. Escape becomes instinctive. She headed to the Yunnan border, only to encounter a real gunshot - a five-year-old girl named Xiaoyu sitting on a stone pier next to a pool of blood, her eyes as vacant as a cicada shell that had been ripped away. The moment the adoption agreement was signed, Chu Nian suddenly understood that love is not about being fulfilled, but about being borne. She took the girl named Yiyi to Tibet and cried for the first time while vomiting at an altitude of 4,500 meters; When the city was closed due to the epidemic, she put on protective clothing and became a volunteer, and met doctor Lu Chengyang who was also walking with trauma. This is a story about how trauma can be transformed into life force. It does not promise a cure, only how we can learn to live with silence, and discern in it the lights of the way home. That light is lit by responsibility and guarded by tenderness, Finally, it illuminates the vast heart that we have rebuilt with our own hands, as vast as our hometown.
