My name is Bai. It is Bai now. Ye gave me that name after I came back from the dead. Before I died and returned, my name was Su Muzhe. It's the name of a tune, chosen by my mother. I guess it has a special meaning. I've always wanted to know what it is, so I've always been searching. Gradually, I also started to accept and love this simple, clean name. But you can call me Su Muzhe, too. I was called Su Muzhe for fifteen years, but aside from my mother and grandmother, hardly anyone called me that. They usually teased me by calling me the Masked One. Just as the name suggests, I wear a mask. People say everyone in this world wears one or more different masks, but mine is different from theirs, because mine is a real mask. A mask carved from wood, carved by my mother with her own hands. My mother once told me that as long as I wore this mask, the day it could be taken off would be the day my face was restored.
