Homer, a child who grew up in an orphanage, had never seen a lobster or the sea, and he wanted to see the outside world. The dean, Dr. Li Zhi, is kind-hearted and takes good care of every child. The children are physically and mentally healthy and live a happy and comfortable life. Especially for Homer, as his own, doubly cherish. From a distance, the orphanage looked like a fairytale castle. At night, there was a little warm light in the window, and a warm and kind voice was telling a bedtime story, and the children listened intently... From a distance, Xinghe Haoyue was embraced in the heart, within reach. Warm and solid, more like a fairytale castle. By chance, Homer left the orphanage and settled in a seaside town. He saw the blue sea, touched gigantic lobsters, unloaded red apples in the fruit-filled garden, and got along with the black workers... Several houses grow on the green grass, with clear eyes and sparse branches and leaves, like playmates, like old friends, simple and warm, warm and down-to-earth. The road stretches between the green forests, sitting side by side on the floating board by the sea, the meadows are high in the sky, the clouds are wide, and the forests are dyed... The turn of summer and autumn is the most beautiful time in the world. The rules of the cider house have never been false. Make your own rules, make your own choices, and take your own responsibilities. Only in this way is a free and useful life. When Homer left, Dr. Li Zhi burst into tears outside the door; when he came back, the children ran and shouted at him... The old nurse told him that the perspective view of the heart that he carried with him was not actually his, but that the dean was afraid of him. The one who was recruited into the army and was secretly replaced... Suddenly burst into tears. Good night, princes of Maine, and kings of New England! The children laughed happily and got into the bed. How can there be such a warm and moving orphanage, it is a fairy tale castle, a magnificent palace. It also has a name, there is always a bright sun. Love is everywhere. Everything, as it happens.

  • [Candy is sitting on a dock: inconsolable after receiving the news about Wally]
