Ballad Collector: Nothing is more important than love.

The folk songs that have been sung for one or two hundred years,
silently stay among the mountains, among the
green trees and clear water, among the
happy people.

Lily Penglailik, this persistent woman, this doctor of music who loves music, started the difficult work of collecting folk songs in the mountains in the early 20th century.

There are fresh greens everywhere and old songs everywhere.
The community of Dashan is a happy and peaceful community.
People in the mountains live in their own deep meaning.

They dug they dug, so their days
their nights gone. And they don't praise God,
who they hear, know all that.
They dig and hear no more;
they don't want to understand, they don't invent songs, they do
n't imagine languages. They dig.

When Lily walked deeper and deeper into this community, she found that people were as beautiful as music. And love is the most beautiful.
She and her lover get close and kiss. She started her love life and life, and was no longer a stranger who collected folk songs.
