Angelica, Come Back

"I, I'm finally back." Dongfang Dial took a deep breath. When I left, the tallest building in the county was the Angelica Pavilion not far from the pier. It has been thirty-nine years since Dongfang Dial left home. The day we left was also New Year's Eve and early in the morning. Dongfang Dial remembers it very clearly. When Xi Yazi saw him off, the quilt spread on the carriage floor was blue with white flowers. The day before she left, my wife stayed up all night sewing it stitch by stitch. He had been waiting for thirty-nine years to return home this time. As he got closer to home, his heart was in his throat again. Scenes of the past flashed before my eyes.
