That evening my father had to leave again.
1:06:08
He left the city without permission
just to see my mother.

1:06:11
He couldn't stand it
when he heard about my mother.

1:06:14
So he sneaked back.
1:06:17
For this disobedience,
my parents were kept apart...

1:06:20
...for another two years.
1:06:25
Someone told me
that on the day my father...

1:06:28
...finally returned,
my mother put on her red jacket...

1:06:31
...my father's favourite...
1:06:35
...and stood by the road, waiting for him.
1:06:37
From that day on,
my father never left my mother again.

1:06:59
This is the story
of my father and my mother.

1:07:02
This road is a part of their love story.
1:07:07
This is a dirt road that leads
to the city from our village.

1:07:11
My mother had waited for my father
on this road...

1:07:14
...with love and trust, for many years.
1:07:17
So she wants to walk this road
with him for the last time.

1:07:22
Mr. Mayor?
1:07:26
-Who is it?
-It's me, Yusheng.

1:07:35
What is the matter, Yusheng?
1:07:36
-I need to see you.
-Come in.

1:07:39
It's coId out there.
1:07:41
How can I heIp you?
1:07:44
I've thought it through.
1:07:47
-I want to do what my mother wishes.
-Carry him back?

1:07:50
It's stiII a probIem, though.
1:07:52
We don't have enough men, right?
1:07:54
How about hiring some men
from the neighbouring viIIage?

1:07:59
Hiring peopIe sounds easy...
