1988, Guangdong. I, Chen Qiankun, received the biggest "surprise" in my life at the wedding banquet - my fiancée gave birth to a baby prematurely on the spot.
My father was so angry that he was hospitalized, my mother cried and wanted to die, and my neighbors and best relatives lined up to persuade me to be generous: "As a man, you have to be open-minded. Isn't it just to help others raise a child?"
I laughed.
Damn generosity!
I broke off the engagement on the spot, severed family ties, and headed south to Yangcheng alone with the last three hundred yuan in my pocket.
Everyone laughed at me for being a cuckolded fool who didn't know what to do.
