In 2008, her husband, Ye Zeyang, and his older brother, Ye Zechang, went abroad on a business trip. They never expected to be caught in an overseas pandemic outbreak.
Meng Jinfan stood in front of the television every day, following the situation there.
She hoped to catch a glimpse of her newlywed husband on the screen.
Even if it was only his profile or the back of his head...
But in the end, all that came back was a memorial portrait, brought home by Ye Zechang.
“Sister-in-law, my younger brother... my younger brother isn’t coming back.”
Upon hearing the news, Meng Jinfan fainted on the spot. She never imagined that their farewell would be forever.
After regaining consciousness, she tried several times to take her own life, hoping to reunite with her husband in the afterlife.
Her family always found her in time and stopped her.
But on the day of the wake, Meng Jinfan realized that the man who had died was not her husband, Ye Zeyang.
