Living in the Spivet family deep in the desert, he and his sister grew up hoping to get out of here In the suburbs, go to the big city to have a look. TS left his hometown with the perpetual motion machine that was valid for 400 years, the result of his childhood dream. At the same time, he took away the guilt for the death of his twin brother, his parents, his sister, and the seemingly desolate hometown. Nature. As he sat on the train heading for the metropolis, his eyes were full of sadness, and he monologued the above sentence in his heart: Maybe a boy in this row of houses was woken up by the sound of the whistle, maybe he has always wanted to see this The world outside the desert.
