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...
1:08:02
...but how do we pay them?
1:08:04
Just teII me how many men we need.
1:08:08
For a short distance, about 10.
1:08:12
But this is a Iong trip.
1:08:15
I think we need about 16.
1:08:17
We need two shifts. That's 32 men.
1:08:20
And we'II need others to carry chairs...
1:08:23
...so peopIe can rest aIong the way.
1:08:27
That comes to about 35, 36 men.
1:08:31
How much per person?
1:08:35
100 Yuan each shouId do.
1:08:39
35, 36 peopIe.
1:08:41
How much in totaI?
1:08:44
That's 3,500 or 3,600 Yuan.
1:08:48
We need to buy cigarettes.
