"When I was young, I was able to fight and run. It was the end of you. Now that I'm old and about to retire, you're going to do this for me?"
On the day of the natural disaster, fifty-five-year-old Chen Guiying was three days away from retirement.
The water was out, the electricity was out, and the gas was out. Twenty-seven people were stuck in the dark corridor, and no one knew what to do.
She picked up two buckets of water and handed them to her neighbor who was still posting "hahaha" in the group a half day ago.
"Take it. Next time I say there will be an earthquake, do you believe it?"
Coal-burning stoves, pickling pickles, identifying wild vegetables, looking at old pipes, hoarding things - old skills that have been laughed at for half a lifetime are starting to become valuable.
And her waist is getting straighter, the cracks on her hands are getting longer, and the gray hairs are getting fewer. She is getting better every day.
