In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (AD 220), Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Yuan Dynasty to the early Huang Dynasty, and made Luoyang the capital. In the autumn of the third year of Huang Chu, in East County of Yanzhou, there were thick grass beside the official road. An old ox cart ran through the mud, and the muddy water splashed by the wheels hit the huddled figure beside the shaft of the cart. However, the man was completely unaware and just maintained the huddled posture, like a withered leaf wilted by the autumn wind.
Just half an hour ago, Guliang Kasha was in the purchasing warehouse of "Xingguang Kindergarten" on the outskirts of the city, checking the physical items against the "Children's Ingredients Purchase List" on her tablet. The warehouse is about five meters high, with shelves neatly arranged on both sides. On the left are bags of Northeast Wuchang rice and organic millet, and on the right are sealed boxes of imported infant milk powder (produced in the Netherlands, marked "0 added sucrose"). On the innermost temporary shelves are piles of exhibits prepared for next week's "Traditional Culture on Campus" event - several cultural relics borrowed from the city museum. One of them is a palm-sized bronze mirror with vague cloud and thunder patterns engraved on the edge. It is said to be an object from the Cao Wei period.
