Wen Lan received a letter postmarked 1933.
She thought it was a prank and casually wrote back. To her surprise, a reply really arrived the next day.
The boy who wrote it came from the turbulent year of 1933 and had been the previous tenant of her old house.
Separated by an insurmountable gulf of time, Wen Lan and the boy exchanged letters, sharing glimpses of daily life from their two different eras.
Until the boy wrote to say he had been accepted into the air force and was about to head to the battlefield...
It was the last letter she ever received from him.
Theme: A home can only exist when there is a country.
