Sorrow, How Have You Been?

My name is Ning Mo. When I was little, I was called Ning Xiao Mo. I was born in a seaside town. When I was six, I saw on our 14-inch black-and-white TV the drama that would shape my name for the rest of my life: The Legend of the Condor Heroes! A character in it, dressed in black, with gray-white hair, blind in both eyes, and black lips, became my absolute favorite. So I eagerly ran to the market to find my dad and insisted that he change my name.
