   Reader note

   On the night of the ninth day of the fourth month in the fourteenth year of Yongxing, a torrential rain fell south of Handan City. Inside Zhao Wan's residence, candles flickered red, and tea smoke curled upwards. Her younger brother, Zhao Xun, imitating the legendary martial arts of wandering heroes, bare-chested and barefoot, performed "Slow Fist" in the courtyard. His appearance was like a young tiger stuffed into a theatrical robe, stretched taut yet self-important; his air of otherworldly elegance was not yet formed, but rather a comical and laughable sight. Wan leaned against a low couch, a scroll of "Shu Yu Ci" in her hand. Though her eyes were on the ink, her mind was already wandering to her childhood: at six, she carried a rotten piece of wood as a sword and a broken hat as a helmet, climbing onto the roof and shouting "Great Hero Zhao!"; At seven, she believed in the art of "walking on water," threw herself into the river, and lost her front tooth; at ten, she sold jade to buy a donkey, calling herself "Second Brother Zhao," but before even leaving the city, she was defeated and returned home dejectedly with the donkey. Memories flooded back, flickering like candlelight. A smile deepened on her lips, and a gentle light rippled in her eyes—she had only this one brother in the world, stubborn and foolish, yet he was her blood relative. Just then, a soft knocking broke the rain. The sound was slow and deep, unlike any ordinary visitor. Xun stepped forward to protect his sister, opening the door to see a middle-aged scholar standing in the rain. His pale white robe was soaked, his graying hair dripping with water, yet he stood with his hands behind his back, head held high, reciting aloud: "Life is like a fleeting journey, drifting like duckweed across the land… Only the warmth of the home lamp is seen, a boat returning home on a stormy night." His voice was resounding, his demeanor dignified, his eyes piercing, staring directly at the children inside—who else could it be but Zhao's biological father, Fei Yu? Wan stood behind Xun, her face expressionless, her eyes colder than the rain. Just as her father finished reciting, and was about to greet her with tears, Wan suddenly reached out, grabbed the door, and slammed it shut! A loud bang, the latch slammed shut, separating the inside from the outside. Xun turned around in surprise, and Wan said calmly, "It's a dark rainy night; you must be seeing things and mistaking the scholar for your father." Xun immediately understood and readily agreed. However, the pounding on the door suddenly intensified, and anxious cries rang out: "Wan'er! Xun'er! It's really your father! My coat is wet from the rain; please let me come in and apologize!" The voice was urgent, devoid of any of the composure she had displayed while reciting poetry. Wan stood with her back to the door, her shoulders slightly damp, her back slender and straight like a pine tree. Her slender hand in her sleeve curled and then unfolded; the cold lines on her lips suddenly twitched slightly upwards—whether it was sarcasm, anger, or a fleeting ripple in her heart, she couldn't discern the truth. A story from the Zhao family's past: Fei Yu was once famous in Handan for his poetry, but he was carefree, uninterested in production, and fond of travel. He abandoned his wife and children, not returning home for ten years. When Wan's mother died, the siblings were all alone, their home deserted, while Fei Yu was in Sichuan observing the clouds. Now, suddenly she calls herself "Returning Home at Night," wanting to atone for ten years of wrongs with a few lines of bitter poetry? Her seclusion is fitting. But can the bond between mother and child truly be severed? Inside and outside the door, separated by a single sheet, lies the culmination of ten years of grievances and half a lifetime of joys and sorrows. The barely perceptible movement of her lips—readers, please do not take it lightly—for the deepest emotions are often hidden in the most subtle expressions; the most difficult choices in life often lie in the blink of an eye. The rain sounds like a lament, the night is long, the candlelight flickers inside, and outside, cries are muffled. How will the brother and sister cope with this "returning home at night"? This will be discussed in the next chapter. Commentary: The brilliance of this chapter lies in its use of "rain" as a unifying element. The rain at dusk, the rain at nightfall, the rain knocking at the door—all remain consistent, yet the circumstances change three times: initially warm, the rain a curtain of peaceful dwelling; then humorous, the rain a backdrop for laughter; finally desolate, the rain a witness to grievances. The scene of Zhao Xun demonstrating his boxing skills is full of humor, yet the deep affection between siblings is subtly revealed. Wan's recollections of the past are written with gentle strokes, yet the hidden pain of her family history is palpable. When her father arrives and closes the door, the situation abruptly shifts, the previous warmth becoming a stark contrast; the subsequent pounding on the door only amplifies the desolation. The writing is intricate and graceful, truly a masterpiece of social fiction. Particularly remarkable is Wan's subtle upturn of the lips, leaving unsaid meaning, prompting the reader to close the book and ponder, as if witnessing a woman's turbulent emotions yet calm demeanor within the doorway on a rainy night—such writing cannot be achieved without a deep understanding of emotion and reason.

He must dodge the gray world's corruption with theatrical steps, use the flowing sleeves of "Farewell My Concubine" to entangle the enemy's throat, and walk a tightrope between life and death with "Scarlet Trick"—after all, if the audience's expectations fall below the threshold, the calamity will tear reality apart.
