Su Mei, a former surfboard repairman, came to Gangshika Snow Mountain in Tibet to join the glacier survey team for a promise. The days here are bitter but warm: the ice cracks are biting and the wind is biting, but the warm care of the teammates - Wang Lei's flirtatious love songs, Zhen's sincere care, Chen Shuli's silent kindness, and Lao Zhou's heart-warming stories - make the days solid. She also met Agula, a young man who always squatted on the grass slope watching sheep. He was silent and stubborn, hiding his promise to teach her writing in his heart, like grass seeds sprouting quietly under the melting snow.
The appearance of senior team member Jiang Yifeng broke Su Mei's mind. He understood the look in her eyes when she looked at the snow-capped mountains, and understood her bravery and softness. The two of them, carrying their own pasts, slowly changed their "like" from tentative to determined in the gap between the ice seams and under the starry sky on the grassland.
Agula always asked "What does the sea look like?" Su Mei realized that there is no sea in Gangshika, just like a young man who may have difficulty walking out of the mountain col. But when Jiang Yifeng held her hand and said, "Eat until you grow old, play until you grow old," and when Agula scrawled the word "sea" in his notebook, she suddenly understood: the appearance of the sea was not in the distance, but in the eyes of the people around her and the temperature in the palms of her hands - there was no sea in Gangshika, but there was a light that was warmer than the sea.
My mouth is watering as I write. . .
Intention: 1. The dialectic of "regret and perfection": There is no sea in Gangshika, and it is difficult for a young man to get out of the mountain. However, due to the connection between people's hearts (Su Mei and Jiang Yifeng's staying together, and the company of Agula), regret becomes "another kind of perfection" - the real yearning is never far away, but in the warmth around you. 2. The two-way nature of "healing and being healed": Su Mei warms others with her tenacity, and also completes her reconciliation with herself amidst the fireworks of the investigation team, her understanding with Jiang Yifeng, and her dependence on Agula; everyone is a healer and a person illuminated by light. 3. The power of "rooting and growth": Whether it is Su Mei's adaptation from the sea to the snow-capped mountains, the investigation team's taking root in the hard days, or Agul's yearning sprouting through words, they all say: Even if you are in poverty or limitations, the softness and persistence of the human heart can make the days grow warm.
