Late winter, early spring, 2028
Lin Huai, deceased. Aged 27.
Lin Zaiyuan traveled a thousand miles to collect his brother's body.
While sorting through his belongings, Lin Zai found a box.
Inside were two letters.
One was from the summer of 2019. On the eve of moving house, he had gone to pick up Soccer Weekly and grabbed it for his brother at the same time.
On the envelope, written neatly in elegant, free-flowing handwriting, were the words:
[To Lin Huai]
The other was in his brother's handwriting:
[Written in the spring of 2028, addressed to heaven. To Xie Bolin]
