"When I read the place name 'Cold Mountain', I feel kind, because there is a girl I love there."
He fled the battlefield and was on his way home.
Hunger, cold, temptation, traps, pursuit... All these things could not stop him.
He chews crabs raw and steals corn.
He crossed the wild green field, the dark forest.
He fired the swift bullets on the swift ferry.
He was arrested in the hut that brought warmth and joy but was actually a peachy trap.
He and many deserters like him were chained. He ran with bullets.
He thanked the young woman who took him in in the cold night, but still told her: I have my beloved.
He helped her execute the gang of beasts, but still chose to leave.
Going back, there has always been a force calling him back. He was on his way home.
He met the girl he loved, the one who wrote him at least 103 love letters, the one who was elegant and beautiful, who liked to play the piano and read novels, who could name the constellation Canis Major, who could arrange flowers but not grow flowers, and now learn to build a fence to move Horse dung grows crops, and under the cruelty of the war, day and night, she stands by the longing girl.
He fell under the guns of the security team.
He fell into his lover's arms.
He finally returned to his hometown, back to "Cold Mountain", to the side of his beloved girl.
She said: "I seem to see him wading through mountains and rivers, and he has been walking home."
She said: "The dark clouds have dissipated and the sun has come out."
Even in the dark forest, the darkness covers the sky and the sun. , we can still see that the camera stops in front of a small plant. That plant, thin and weak, has a small tender green leaf that shines through.
That is the hope for those who are on their way home.
All the evils brought about by the war will eventually pass. Kindness, industriousness, strength, loyalty, tolerance... All the beauty, under the baptism of war, seems more valuable and warmer.
On that snowy Christmas night, there was still music and laughter.
That cold hut still has an unquenchable fire.
Everyone is on their way home. There, there is a beloved girl. There, there is beauty and hope in life.
