Thirty Years Have Passed

"The Wind Passed by Thirty Years" is a contemporary growth epic that pays homage to "The Ordinary World". It tells the story of a boy from the Loess Plateau who pursues himself and the distance in his thirty-year life journey. In the spring of 1992, Li Dahai, a poor farmer in Lijia'ao, northern Shaanxi, named his newborn third son "Tianya" to express all the farmers' yearning for the distant future. Li Tianya grew up on the Loess Plateau with thousands of ravines, but since childhood he has longed for the blue patch of land at the end of the map called "South China Sea." His name is both an expectation and a life's destiny. From his childhood when he traveled over mountains and ridges to go to school, to his schooling years in the county; from his hard studies in Beijing universities to his struggling career in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone - Li Tianya spent thirty years step by step from the Loess Plateau to the coast of the South China Sea. He has experienced the rise of China's Internet wave, witnessed the tremendous changes in rural and urban areas, and is looking for his own place in the tide of the times. However, when he finally stood in front of the stone monument of Hainan's "End of the World", he suddenly discovered: The end of the world is not the end, but an endless pursuit; hometown is not a distant place that cannot be returned, but a root that cannot be cut no matter how far you go. His name destined him to wander, and also destined him to carry the yellow land in his heart no matter how far he went.
