   I was one of my master's many female disciples, and the only one who had ever done that kind of thing. @DouchengBaye Actually, before the Republic of China, before the Qing Dynasty fell, my family was quite well-off. Although we weren't a wealthy family, we were never short of food or clothing. I traveled by sedan chair, always accompanied by two or three maids. People say that wealth doesn't last three generations, and that's certainly true. Ever since my father became addicted to drugs, our family's situation deteriorated day by day. Gradually, the number of people in the family dwindled, the food became coarser, our clothes became worse, and we no longer had sedan chairs to ride in. Our once spacious and bright mansion was eventually replaced by a small, dilapidated house that leaked when it rained. "If I don't smoke this opium for a day... I feel terrible!" My dad lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), staring at me with his dead fish-like eyes. "Quick... Give me a puff!" "Still smoking?" I held his opium pipe above my head. "Look at yourself now, how thin you've become!" Looking at his skinny, dried-up body, I felt a chill. "Do you want to smoke yourself to death?" "Smoking to death is better than dying of worry. It's precisely because I'm worried that I have to smoke so hard! Quick... Give me a puff, I can't take it anymore!" "Trying to drown your sorrows only makes them worse..." "Sorrow your mother!" He suddenly cursed at me. "I told you to study hard... That's just quitting smoking to drown your sorrows only makes them worse!" Actually, my dad always wanted to become a high-ranking official through the imperial examinations, but the Qing government just wouldn't give him that opportunity and eventually abolished the imperial examination system. "Of all the hardships, only studying is noble. And what's the point of studying? Isn't it to become an official!" Since losing his spiritual pillar, his will gradually waned, and he seemed to lose interest in everything. Later, he started drinking heavily, not only learning to gamble but also frequently visiting brothels to pick up girls. "I don't care if you go to brothels and pick up prostitutes!" My mother was almost blinded by tears, "But you can't smoke opium!" "What else can I do if I don't smoke opium?" My father slapped himself hard across the face, "I'm a complete waste now! Even in this state, you still won't let me take a few more puffs?" "Smoke it all... Smoke it all, you bastard!"
