(We know his family background) The girl ran away from home for 5 months, got pregnant, and didn't tell anyone. The girl is in a bad mood, and Street tells her that she is going to see her brother. The two were joking. Street talked about her daughter, Rose, who is a good mother with four children. When she was away from home one night, a fire suddenly broke out.

The car needs to be repaired, everyone cares about him, and Street has been on the road for 5 weeks. Did a lady say you're not afraid? Street said that he participated in World War II, and there is nothing to be afraid of. (We know more about him, WWII!) Well-meaning people let him rest in their yard.

After a while, another old gentleman came to see him and invited him to drink in town.

The old gentleman talked about his past wars, all his comrades died, the old gentleman was very sad. Street is also very emotional, saying that the partners in his memory are all so young, and as he grows older, the faces of his partners can't remember, and sometimes he thinks of the faces of Germans. A former sniper himself, Streit recalled an operation in which he accidentally shot a young comrade-in-arms, and everyone thought it was the Germans who killed him, except himself. (We know more about him, sniper, war trauma, manslaughter of a comrade-in-arms, a former alcoholic!)
38. At night, kindhearted man's yard. Street looked up at the sky.
39. The yard of good-hearted people. Several people were working on the lawnmower, and it was fixed. The two wanted to slaughter him for 250 yuan, and Street was very good at bargaining, cutting it down to 187 yuan. Street said that he was going to see his brother he hadn't seen in 10 years. The last time they met, the two said something "unforgettable". This trip is "hard to swallow my pride" (we know his motives to see his brother, reconciliation?)

The pastor knew Street's brother Lyle, and said he hadn't heard him mention he had a brother. Street tells his story with Lyle. The two brothers had a very good relationship when they were young. How to do this? Like Cain and Abel in the Bible, they were angry, vain, and mixed into wine, and the two did not speak for 10 years. Street said that he wanted to reconcile with his brother, and that what happened in the past is no longer important. (We learned that he went to see his brother for reconciliation.)
44. Restaurant. The boss saw that Street had stopped the car and came in. Streeter: I haven't had a drink in years, but I'm going to have a beer now. Street asks the boss brother how to get to the house.
45. The last part of the journey. The camera is on Lu, and Street's face switches back and forth. The background music played, and Street began to cry. The lawnmower gave off a puff of black smoke and went out. A tractor drove behind, and the two had some conversations. The lawnmower started, and Street followed the big tractor.
46. Outside Brother Lyle's house. Street got out of the car and walked towards a dilapidated hut on crutches. Street called his brother's name, but no one answered the door. After a while, Lyle came out.
47. Lyle's porch. The two old men sat down. Lyle saw the lawn mower, tears welling up in his eyes: You've been riding this crap here to see me? Streeter: Yes, Lyle. The two brothers wept silently.
