The photo depicts two ethnic sisters sitting next to each other in a rustic, simple setting. The older sister has a gentle beauty, but because she is mute, she can only listen with her eyes and respond with a smile. Next to her, the younger sister has bright eyes, attentively using gestures and hands to ask "Sister, do you want to eat anything?" That moment is simple but full of love. Although the younger sister is still young, she knows how to care and worry for her older sister, and the older sister, although unable to say a word, still responds with loving eyes. The sisterly love in the mountains and forests appears so rustic yet profound, like a gentle melody of attachment and love.
