This book tells the story of the snowfields of Northeast China in winter. It is a real and unforgettable experience of the author Xue Tao: In a primary school， heavy snowfall after snowfall buried the playground and roads， and everyone worked together to dig a path and go home. This story tells the reader that a bitter cold life can still exude warmth and kindness， and the monotonous cold winter cannot bury touching， childlike innocence and fun.
