In the summer of 1994, Shiyue jumped over the wall to skip class and fell on Cheng Nuo.
He is a technician from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. He wears a white shirt, glasses, and is wearing an instrument worth three lathes. She was a failed student in the machinery factory. She listened to Cui Jian and studied Beidao, and she wanted to go to the south.
They exchanged a blank tape in an abandoned Soviet experts building. He gives her a screwcap ring. Even if she said it was fake. He said that when Hong Kong returns to China in 1997, I will exchange it for you under the third lamppost in Tiananmen Square.
On June 30, 1997, Cheng Nuo stood under the lamppost and waited all night. The fireworks burned out and the crowd dispersed, but she didn't come.
He didn't know that she was coming.
She bought a train ticket for that day and put the ring on her ring finger. The train derailed and capsized two stations away from Beijing. She was twenty years old and died on the way to an appointment.
Twenty-three years later, Cheng Nuo found the letter that her mother had kept in the demolished building. The last letter was written the night before departure and contained only four sentences.
Only then did he know that she had not broken her promise. She just didn't arrive.
No one did anything wrong. No one was waiting.
