Environmentally friendly products and recycling process are sounds good but is there also some pollution we don’t know? Today we enjoy the sweet results from technologies and industries, but are unable to sense the influences to our environment. The mother nature is gradually building up the pressure and responds it frequently. Unbalanced ecosystem and shortage of resources are in the sight we will see not too far. We may luckily not see it happen in this generation, but it will occur in our posterity someday indeed. The little boy symbolizes the original heart of child. The boy’s desire can fill his stomach only. The moment he gains the seed, it generates a tree with plump of wishes, then he guards the seed and looks for clean water sources and soils. He meets mice and bird in the midway. They compete for the seed for their hunger, but share those plentiful fruits together in the end. They are behaving like enemy in the beginning and ending as friends of sharing. It indicates people should not be against the mother nature, instead, we should be seeking a way for co-life together, striving to defend for the natural environment, and the endless life of every souly on this beauty planet. For dancing performance reason, chapter one animation focuses on routine life, such as traditional markets, subway, traffic jams, schools and the curious boy looking for different products in supermarket, triggering out the dance which describes scene of sunset, kids playing, and blossoming in the morning, utilizing to emphasize the life of ordinary and precious. The animation of chapter two shows up the broken environment after huge disasters by using spring scene as dancing background and it symbolizes an abundant season, but the blaze destroys everything bloody. Thus, story start over from zero, using modern dance to speak out the solitary and struggles in this dilemma, and then mother nature reborn. Searching for foods in ruins in Chapter three, the boy meets the bird and mouse. The section introduces the debut of bird, mouse and seed via dancing, here also describing the scenario of competing between bird and mouse to show that filling the stomach is the most primitive demand of the organism, also sense the seed is the only food for their starving body, but seeds become fewer and fewer after looting. In the animation of chapter four, the boy companies with mouse and bird passing many wrecks for seeking the source of water, and they finally find water on an original mountain. The planted seeds germinate and grow into whole tree full with fruits. This work through animation and dance is to speak out the water brings moisture and the life, and the blooming flowers and grasses are to light up the hope for the dying world.
