Trying to speak about other people's lives is a very thankless task, which often leaves us deeply frustrated. In fact, sometimes even what happens in one day is thrilling to say, let alone such a long life, let alone the unpredictable heart. If this life had been placed in the era of rapid changes in China, it would have been even more unpredictable.
