While the colonel was away working, Maria taught the colonel's motherless children a lot of songs. "Duolaimi" is one of them. She also rehearsed choruses for the children. When the colonel came home, Maria and the children greeted him with sweet songs. The colonel was so happy that he also sang a song while playing the guitar.

The colonel used this song to praise snowflakes to express his love for the happy and peaceful life of his motherland. Later, Maria became the mother of those children. When their family returned home from a trip, something unfortunate happened. The German fascists invaded the colonel's motherland and hometown and wanted the colonel to join the navy. The colonel was a soldier who loved his motherland and refused to work for the enemy. He and Maria decided to flee abroad with their children. Just when they were about to escape, they were discovered by the enemy. The colonel pretended that he was going to perform at a music festival. The enemy didn't believe it, so they sent people to follow them. The first program performed by the colonel's family choir at the festival was "Edelweiss." When the song "Edelweiss", which symbolizes the happy and peaceful life of the motherland, echoed in the theater, the audience was very excited because their current motherland has lost the happy and peaceful life of the past.
