The original fourth episode of *The Years of Rabbit*, titled "The Return," was simple, running only seven minutes. In that limited time, the plot only covered the general course of the Battle of Shangganling and the theme of bringing the remains of the Volunteer Army soldiers back home. It was a good theme, but due to the constraints of the short-form episode, Li Youzhi felt the emotional resonance was insufficient.
Therefore, in his version of "The Return," Li Youzhi added several sequences to emphasize the theme of "returning." What does "return" mean? As a verb, it means to go back to the original place. The first half of the Li-version of *The Years of Rabbit* focused on those Rabbits who never made it home.
On the CCTV streaming page, as the wounded Rabbit in the video sacrificed himself, the screen was flooded with tears.
