If you read this letter, you must be an adult. There are some things that I cannot express clearly before my death, not because I don't trust you, but because they are very involved and involve other people's privacy.

Some of the people in the album are related to me, and some are just colleagues. But there's one person you need to pay attention to: photo number 17.
