The scarecrow witnessed their vigorous and passionate dedication. of youth. But a series of accidents hindered cotton planting, and the whereabouts of Li Huaihe's lover, Hao Chunli, were also missing. In order to protect the achievements of his comrades in exchange for their blood, Li Huaihe chose to stay in Akdala and be with the Scarecrow. Sixty years later, Akdala faced another cotton crisis. Li Huaihe passed on his life's work to Tian Li, a new generation of Xinjiang aid cadres. This protection across time and space rekindled hope in this land.

Rao Shuguang, president of the Chinese Film Critics Society, praised the film's choice of viewpoint. He said that "Akhdala" provided fresh experience in the debate between the internal and external viewpoints of ethnic-themed films. "In the past, we thought that only those of ethnic minorities were involved. Only the director or author can enter the inner point of view. "Akhdala" shows that as long as we adhere to the spirit and consciousness of the Chinese nation community and the Chinese nation as one family, the characters we choose can enter the inner point of view, which can make our narrative more emotional. , and such stories and films can transcend the past debates on national identity and find better narratives, making the expression of the story more powerful, humane, and acceptable, and can also play a positive role in international communication.
