On the third day after my sister died, I found a diary in her room.
The diary stated that a strange boy asked her to hand over a photo of her sister and a boy standing by the river, with the words "First meeting in July 1999" written on the back.
I took my diary and asked. Others told me: The boy's name was Zhou Yuan, and he died in August 1999.
My sister was fifteen years old that year. She did not mention this name for twenty years.
I went to find Zhou Yuan's mother. She disappeared for twenty years and just called me.
She said it was time for someone to know something.
What happened in August of that year?
