In front of a grave, a little boy sings “Happy Birthday” to the headstone:
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Mom...”
As he sings, the little boy begins to cry. After crying for a long while, he says, “Mom, I miss you so much. Is that lady at the flower shop you? I wish you’d hold me again, just one more time. Will you?”
“If that lady is you, please come back. I get a perfect score every time now, and I always get named a Three-Good Student. If you come back, I’ll do everything you say. I promise I’ll be a good boy... Sob...”
“Mom and Dad, I miss you so much. Grandpa’s not going to make it. I’m going to be an orphan. Please come back. I don’t want to be an orphan... Sob...”
What Chen Ziwei doesn’t know is that the girl on the headstone looks exactly like her, and even their names differ by only one character.
She knows even less that this little boy, whom she dislikes so much she once slapped him, is the only family she has left...
