Bai Hong left home to make his way in the world at fourteen. He once watched the love of his life, his childhood sweetheart, die in his arms. The Silver Bridge massacre fifteen years ago shook the world, yet became an unsolved case. Everyone knew he had done it, but no one dared say so.
At twenty-four, Bai Hong, respectfully known as "Mr. Bai," chose to retire and settle into a life of leisure.
That same year, he adopted a six-year-old girl from an orphanage because she looked so much like the girl from his childhood.
Bai Hong is now thirty-four, spending his retirement smoking, drinking, and playing cards.
The little girl who was only six back then has grown into a graceful young woman, and she looks even more like his childhood sweetheart now.
