For a child who loves to ponder, a typhoon is a unique presence. The typhoon's uniqueness lies not only in the fierce wind and rain it brings, which can damage farmland and cause various inconveniences and losses to people’s lives, but also in the different perspective it offers. It allows the child to closely observe their father, as the head of the household, navigating through the typhoon’s arrival and departure with both effort and helplessness. The child can find small ways to offer help to their hardworking father and grandmother, witness the impact of the typhoon on crops, and observe the villagers' attitudes towards the storm. Through the arrival, companionship, and departure of the egrets, the child can also sense a bond with other forms of life in nature.

Although typhoons are a natural disaster for adults, threatening their livelihoods, as long as a child can feel a bit of warmth—whether it’s from a connection with their father or with an egret—then it can be said that typhoons don’t only bring bad things. Moreover, since typhoons return each year, the child experiences this cycle repeatedly, and at some unremarkable moment, they suddenly realize that they have grown up.
