When Shen Qing was tidying up his study, he discovered a page of manuscript left by Ye Zi in an ancient book.
- The above is a fragment that has not been included in the novel. It tells about a student in the Republic of China who, after his teacher got married, went to the temple to offer an ever-burning lamp every year on her birthday until the end of his life.
- At the end of the manuscript: "I don't ask to see you in the next life. I just ask that you be safe and happy in every life, have children and grandchildren, and die in good health. And I am willing to be the first light to be extinguished in your life."
