The origin of yellow ribbon

197114 New York Post published a novel: a silent man sat on a long-distance bus and finally spoke under the questioning of young tourists on the same bus. It turned out that he had just been released from prison and had written to his wife before he was released from prison: if she had another home, he would not blame her; If she still loves him and wants him back, tie a yellow ribbon on the old oak tree at the mouth of the town; If there is no yellow ribbon, he will follow the car and never bother her again ... the car is approaching its destination. From a distance, dozens of yellow ribbons were hung on the old oak tree at the mouth of the town, and the passengers on the bus cheered.

This touching story was filmed into a song, and the story spread all over the world with the song. The yellow ribbon has also become a symbol of "welcoming prisoners to regain their freedom" in the United States.
