“Mr. Pei, how long can you love someone?”
“A lifetime.”
They met in an era torn apart by war. She was a destitute, mute girl, and he was a brave young marshal who excelled in battle. They first met beneath the setting sun. One glance was all it took to bind them for a lifetime. He loved her, but she kept her distance from him. Their difference in status would always stand between them. And so they missed their chance, for five years. When they met again, snow was falling, and the person standing before them had become the only one in their lives.
Love at first sight when they first met. For all the years to come, it would always be her.
“Then what would you give up for her?”
“My entire life.”
(An imagined era)
