About This Novel
That was the first time I saw Teacher Wen cry. An old man with gray hair huddled in the corner, crying quietly. He turned over and over recalling the past with "Little Ningbo" and then fell asleep without realizing it. I called Wen Siyuan over, and together with Mrs. Wen, I helped carry him to the bed. Mrs. Wen said in a confused manner, "We are all old - if he is like this, he will still cry in the future." Wen Siyuan and I were silent. It was past ten o'clock when I got home that night. When I walked downstairs, I saw a figure next to me. My heart skipped a beat for no reason, and somehow I had a strong premonition. --The man gradually came closer, and the moonlight brushed his face. It turned out to be the neighbor downstairs. I suppressed my disappointment and nodded to him: "Hello."
