Introduction to the work In the winter of 1979, in the dormitory of the water conservancy station, a door was closed by the cold wind, locking the fate of three generations: Zeng Hua, Wu Yanlan, and Zhang Yang. At that moment, no one knew where the door would open. A misunderstood young widow and a young man who had just entered the workplace divorced and married in anger amid rumors, and spent half their lives fighting against the world's eyes and the family's obstruction. They started in a wool processing factory. Thirty years later, the Pearl Foundation has illuminated countless women in distress - that is the kindness they have returned to the world. Zhang Yang, who was left behind, hurriedly remarried. After retirement, he played cards and chess and had many programs, but he never mentioned that winter again. The door bolt is easy to fall, but the heart lock is difficult to open. Some people use a lifetime to explain, and some people use a lifetime to fill a gap. When the moon rises over the Erhai Lake and the snow falls over the Yunling Mountains, their children follow the unfinished path of their fathers into the deep valleys of the border, only to discover that the net weaved along the Mekong River in 1953 has never been closed in seventy years. The half badge that Zeng Xiulan hid in the rosewood box before she was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, the words "I bear this promise" in Gu Huaishan's death note, the amber pupils of the old man in Gongbiegou, the headless bones under the roots of the sacred tree, the lily with the word "Xu" written on it deep in the snowfield - all silent names, waiting for someone to climb over the mountain. This is not one person's crime and punishment, but a long road of redemption from generation to generation. The moment the door was closed, no one knew: someone would have to walk for seventy years for this. --This book is dedicated to all silent travelers.
