Harold Frye, 60, retired quietly after 40 years as a sales representative at the winery, with no promotions, no friends or enemies, and the company didn't even have a farewell party when he retired. He lived in the English countryside with his estranged wife, living in peace and estrangement, day after day.
One morning, he receives a letter from his old friend Queenie, whom he hasn't seen in twenty years. She had cancer and wrote goodbye. Shocked and grieved, Harold wrote a reply, and on the way out, he thought of his life from Queenie, passing through one post box after another, farther and farther, and finally, he walked all the way from the south-west of England to the north-east, across the whole of England. 87 days, 627 miles, with only one belief: as long as he goes, the old friend will live!
This is the story of Harold's journey of a thousand miles. From the moment he stepped away, parallel to his journey of more than six hundred miles was another journey through the tunnel of time.

Malawi, a small African country that has little access to it, is plagued by drought, epidemics, famine and a long history of witchcraft.
In Malawi, only 2 per cent of households have access to electricity, and access to information is only by listening to the radio.
Fourteen-year-old William Kamkumba dropped out of school due to poverty, and with the help of a village library, an Inquiry into Physics, and scrap metal from a garbage dump, he decided to build his own windmill to generate electricity.

He grew up in a small village deep in the mountains of Hokkaido, and his family was poor. The stereotypical and ordinary middle school life, the unchanged years in the mountains, and the confused future without choice seem to be doomed to him no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to get rid of the troubles of his background.
One day, the teacher asked him to help receive a piano tuner, and the piano that had fallen into disrepair had been in disrepair and had a wonderful sound like a natural sound.
The sound of the piano is like a glimmer of light, illuminating the gloomy life in the outer villages.
From that moment on, Gomura aspired to become a tuner.
However, we have to admit that the innate conditions of people are very different from person to person. He came from a closed and backward environment and had never touched the piano before. Even though he tried his best to practice hard, listened to piano music repeatedly, and followed his predecessors carefully, in the eyes of his customers, in front of the mysterious and noble piano, he was still a shy and untalented rural youth.
