Nowadays, with the fast advancement of urbanization, agricultural civilization declines gradually. I was born in the northwest. Elder generation all experienced emotional entanglement like the middle-aged and elderly people in the film when left their hometown. The unwillingness to give up farming lifestyle, attachment to local flavors and worries about urban life all constitutes their local complex to born and die in this land. The rustic disappearance and tradition lost is a major transformation in the history of civilization. The short film is based on this background.
