Three-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Xiaodeng is the little darling at the welfare home who loves to fall asleep hugging a little red box.

No one knows that the box can receive "letters home."

The first letter comes from a drug enforcement officer who died twenty years ago on the snowy border.

He says, "Little one, I don't mind the pain. I just want to go home and see my mom."

The second comes from a firefighter who died in a blaze without leaving his name behind.

He says, "If anyone asks whether I was afraid, I want to say yes. But I still went in."

The third comes from a young soldier who went missing on the battlefield seventy years ago.

He says, "Squad leader, I protected the flag. Have you found me yet?"

Everyone thinks Jiang Xiaodeng is telling fairy tales.

Until she points at a map and says in her childish voice, "Uncle is here. He's been cold for so, so many years."

That night, the National Special Search Group was established.

One vehicle after another headed for the border, snow-capped mountains, ruins, the deep sea, and old villages.

One long-lost name after another was written back into the world of the living.

Before long, everyone online knew about the little darling who hugged a little red box.

She couldn't fight or solve crimes. All she could do was say earnestly:

"Don't cry. Xiaodeng will take them home."
