Old Zhang was an experienced hunter who hunted in icy and snowy areas for many years. One day, a heavy snowfall blocked the mountains, and he lost his way and was famished and cold. He saw a faint light in the distance and his heart was filled with hope. He struggled towards the light and finally found a small wooden house, where he was given warm soup and food and survived the life-threatening crisis. This experience made him understand even more deeply the cruelty of the icy and snowy landscape and the preciousness of life.
