A heavy rain at midnight washed away the entire village. Mao Ya's father carried his younger brother on his back, Mao Ya's mother fished up the goose, and Mao Ya carried the bamboo basket down the river. She was rescued by a "god" and learned that there was more to the world than just this one house, one village, and one mountain. She wanted to go out and see the sea, and from then on she embarked on her own "Tao".
Purpose: Mao Hai should work hard to become stronger
