The man who came from the seashore met the man named Hai.
Jiang Yuan went to Qinghai for an internship and met the herdsman Gyatso. One word is less, the other is less. He taught him to write and gave him tsampa. He asked him what the sea was like, and he said he would take you to see it later.
Gyatso took out the half piece of tsampa from his pocket—the piece Jiang Yuan had given him, and he kept it for a year.
Jiang Yuan took out the wooden horse from his pocket - the one carved by Gyatso, and took it with him.
The Daitang River flows westward and has no outlet.

Concept: Some things will never fall apart even across distance and time. It's like a river flowing backward - others are heading east, but it is heading west. There is no outlet, but it keeps flowing.
