The Way Home with the Lights of Thousands of Households

Li Dagang, a small contractor, had worked hard for a whole year. He had been looking forward to getting the project payment to go back home for the Spring Festival. However, due to the unfinished project, he was in arrears of payment. His fellow workers came to ask for their wages, and he only had 7 yuan left in his bank card, not even enough to buy a train ticket. In despair, he thought of committing suicide. But the call from his seriously ill mother made him give up that idea and set out on the difficult journey back home. Along the way, he encountered financial difficulties and moral tests. He once thought of taking risks, but he stuck to being kind because of his mother's exhortations. During this process, he received the kindness of strangers and regained hope in life. Finally, he managed to reunite with his mother on New Year's Eve. The ordinary reunion dinner dissolved all the pain, fully demonstrating the meaning of family reunion and peace during the Spring Festival.
