In the play, Tian Hao's father is willing to leave his young son to participate in volunteer education in Xinjiang in order to help Xinjiang's children get better education. When encountering the sandstorm disaster, he sacrificed himself to protect the safety of students, and explained the national emotion of uniting a family with his actions.
