    Yes, Xiao Xingchen is going back to his hometown at Christmas. No, he is not going back for Christmas.

    Summary

    At the point where Xie Lian is struggling to breathe through the intense winds, he stops and turns his back to the source of it all. He squints to trace back his footsteps, but finds they’ve already faded into smooth snow drifts at the thirty foot mark.
