I Was a County Magistrate in the Republic of China

Zhang Qian thought to himself: "Now that my family is in ruins, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue studying in university. Should I plunge into the moat to reunite with my parents and relatives below today, or..." Zhang Qian was just thinking about it when a weak voice called out. After cutting off Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian turned around and saw a girl begging for food. The girl said: "Uncle! Please do me a favor. My brother has a high fever and is about to die. Can you reward me with a penny? For just one penny, I can buy 10 aspirins to reduce my brother's fever." This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
