A Three-Year-Old Cutie Connects Past and Present, Bringing the Internet to Tears

Three-year-old Mengmeng accidentally became bound to the Golden Age of the Nation’s Gateway System.

She didn’t understand what war was. She only knew that all of a sudden, a lot of “weird uncles” and “weird grandpas” showed up at home, dressed in rags and covered in blood.

The first to come through the gate was a young soldier who was nearly frozen in the bitter cold.

Mengmeng handed him a cup of hot milk tea. “Here, big brother, have some. It’s sweet and will warm you up.”

The young soldier gazed at the brightly lit view of China outside the window and asked with a trembling hand, “Is this... heaven?”

Mengmeng replied in her babyish voice, “No, this is our home. This is China in 2026!”
