Thirty-Four Filial Piety Lines

The old man handed a bone, a ball of filial piety thread, and a spoon to Xie Ziqin and said: "Because some people who need protection in the story are still alive, these stories can only be left to be told by future generations. Heroes will also be afraid of pain and death, but they will understand that if they lose their country, they may lose everything." After speaking, the old man took off his human skin mask, revealing his true, burnt face. Xie Ziqin recalled the long scar on his stomach that he had glimpsed between the buttons, the round scar on his chest, and the broken fingers on his palm after taking off his gloves. I marvel at the old people who were so riddled with holes in that era, they shouldered everything.
