★This year, we all need Harold's quiet and brave companionship
Harold Fry, 60 years old, worked as a sales representative in a brewery for 40 years before retiring quietly. He had no promotion, no friends, no enemies, and the company didn't even hold a farewell party for him when he retired. He lived in the English countryside with his estranged wife, leading a quiet and estranged life day by day.
One morning, he received a letter from his old friend Queenie, whom he had not seen for 20 years. She had cancer and wrote a letter to say goodbye. Shocked and grief-stricken, Harold wrote a reply. On the way to posting, he thought about his own life from Queenie, passing through one mailbox after another, walking farther and farther. Finally, he walked from the southwest of England to the northeast, across the whole of England. 87 days, 627 miles, with only one belief: as long as he walked, his old friend would live!
This is the story of Harold's 1,000-mile journey. From the moment he set foot on the journey, parallel to his 600-mile journey, he was on another journey through the tunnel of time.
