Li Qingmei let out a soft sigh, her eyes full of deep longing for Lin Ye.

A woman held her young child in her arms and gazed into the distance, hoping to see her husband appear.
And many more
stood at the city's entrances and exits day after day, looking out at the world beyond,
hearts full of endless hope and prayers...
