My grandparents were soldiers during World War II and passed away when my father was 10 years old. My parents were also soldiers and died while on border guard duty when I was seven years old.
So, on my seventh birthday, I became an orphan of a martyr.
My father is an only son, and my grandfather had a sister who married off to Xiangjiang. I did not go to an orphanage. After I was seven years old and until I was ten years old, I lived in this aunt's home.
My aunt is already over seventy years old and she treats me pretty well. However, there are times when people are too old to take care of me. Her granddaughter Hu Yi always likes to frame me for stealing her toys or hair ties. Every time, my cousin always favors Hu Yi and speaks ill of me. Hu Yi is my cousin, one year older than me.
I know that I am redundant in this family.
