In one corner of the capital stands a cozy courtyard where the neighbors are as close as family. The Feng family lives there, and the birth of Feng Yuxuan brings an extraordinary change to the place.
Feng Chongli still can't hide his excitement as he recalls the day his daughter was born: "I was beside myself with worry outside the delivery room. When I heard her first cry, all my anxiety finally lifted. Who could have guessed that the very next moment, the skies would change, a strange fragrance would spread, and her mother's hidden illness would improve? I knew then that this child was destined for greatness."
Old Master Feng strokes his beard and says slowly, "The family precepts passed down through generations have always guided our conduct. This child is exceptionally gifted. I only hope she remembers our family precepts and uses her abilities to help others."
The neighbors have stories of their own. Uncle Li hobbles over, his face full of gratitude: "My old leg tormented me with pain for years. It was that wondrous fragrance from Yuxuan that let me walk normally again. This child is our lucky star!"
Aunt Zhang quickly nods beside him. "That's right! My child had a rash before, and it cleared up after smelling that fragrance. Yuxuan often 'talks' with the flowers and plants in the courtyard, too. She leaves us onlookers amazed."
In everyone's stories, Feng Yuxuan is no longer just an exceptionally gifted girl. She is the hope of her family and a source of warmth to her neighbors. In this little courtyard, everyone remembers her story, and it continues to reach toward a wider world.
