By the vast and mighty Yangtze River, the protagonist wanders through a golden field of rapeseed flowers, reminiscing about the precious moments shared with his grandmother. 

He misses her deeply, imagining a future where his older, silver-haired self visits her once again. Through heartwarming memories and thought-provoking details, the story unfolds as a timeless “conversation” that transcends space and time. It gently helps young readers understand that while our loved ones may one day leave us, the love we share with them will always remain.
