Bao Hanshuo



Once upon a time,
there was a town,
and a little boy
lives here...

Every summer, the boy remembers
seeing the whales swim by this way back
to their hometown...



Sometimes the boy dreamt that the whales towed the
town on their back...



... and sometimes,
it’s a pirate ship.





The boy has many memoriable moments
with the whales until......



oneday...

visitors came....



and left behind
unwanted rubbish.



The boy felt sad after
seeing the left behind.





After that he did not see the whales
swim by this way anymore...

The left over by
the visitors has
now comdeminated
the waters.



Realising that the whales need
clean water to swim through...

...he try cleaning up by himself even
after he becomes the mayor.

His daughter doubts...





everybody doubts why
is he doing this...



he explained to his daughter that is the responsibility of everyone to keep the
water clean so that the whales are able to swim back home every summer.



and he dreamt again....

The whales were crushed by the rubbish
and cannot swim through anymore...

“I can help you,dad!”
“I’m proud of you...”



“...but just two
of us is still not
enough...”



She never give up and did her
best to let everyone knows what
the mayor is doing, hoping for
their support.



Finally, her words are
reponsed.



Everyone agreed to
help...







The mayor urges all of them to
clear the rubbish before winter
comes.
