Gan Homer went out of St. Cloud's Poetry and worked in Maine to plant apples and fish for lobsters. He fell in love with another fiancée, and lived with a black laborer. He saw a father and daughter incest and their daughter was pregnant. The father was stabbed and committed suicide by his daughter. Fitz, who died prematurely from a congenital respiratory disease in the orphanage due to his mother's pregnancy and alcoholism, is like a loving father who cares for Homer, who died of an ether overdose in his sleep, and Wally, who was paralyzed from the lower half of his body during a war flight. Homer returned to the orphanage after seeing all kinds of people, although not many, and he was still so peaceful. The girl in the orphanage should also love him. After taking over the burden of Dr. Li Zhi and giving him a new identity and new education, after the child fell asleep, he also said like Dr. Li Zhi: sleep, you princes of Maine, you emperors of New England. The verse I read before: Listening to God's arrangement and being at ease with the situation may be his portrayal. There are always lucky and unfortunate people in the world, but it is a miracle to come into the world

Once the orphan entered the red dust, the cider winery tasted his life, thinking that the past love is inseparable, and returning to the original heart to remember the old man.

[Mr. Rose is lying in bed, bleeding to death. He's just made Homer and Muddy promise to tell the police he was so upset over his daughter Rose running away that he killed himself]
Arthur Rose: That's right. That's the truth. I'm just tryin' to put things straight. Sometimes, ya gotta break some rules, to put things straight. Ain't that right, Homer?
[He looks at Homer who nods with reluctance resignation as he finally accepts this truth]
Arthur Rose: [Smiling] Good.
[Then the light leaves his eyes and he's still]

[Opening narration; a couple of snippets of interspersed dialog are omitted]
Dr. Wilbur Larch: In other parts of the world young men leave home and travel far and wide in search of a promising future. Their journeys are often fueled by dreams of triumphing over evil, finding a great love, or the hopes of fortunes easily made. Here in St. Cloud's not even the decision to get off the train is easily made, for it requires an earlier, more difficult decision - add a child to your life, or leave one behind. The only reason people journey here is for the orphanage.
Dr. Wilbur Larch: I came as a physician to the abandoned children and unhappily pregnant women. I had hoped to become a hero. But in St. Cloud's there was no such position. In the lonely, sordid world of lost children, there were no heroes to be found. And so I became the caretaker of many, father of none. Well, in a way, there was one. His name was Homer Wells.
