Chenliucheng was besieged, and Xue Kui, a tofu seller, and his family of four were imprisoned in the City God's Temple.
The temple doors were locked, dry firewood was piled high, and thousands of old, weak, women and children were waiting to die in front of the collapsed statues.
Dad was escorted to the city wall, grandma was so skinny that she was still holding on, and her five-year-old sister was so hungry that she had lost her voice. The rebels lit firewood, and thick smoke drifted in. Akui thought that no one could get out alive, until a woman opened the door and walked in.
Her name was Mei Jia'an, and she said, "We are here to save you."
