Wu Yunci was adopted by the Cheng family at the age of 8 and spent the first memorable years of her life in Peking. Mr. Cheng loved to listen to operas. At that time, his eldest sister Cheng Suyi had already married and followed her husband. Cheng Xuandong went south to Guangzhou. Cheng Xuantong insisted on going south to study at St. John's University in Shanghai despite Mr. Cheng's objections. Cheng Xuanming was the only one in the family, and she had several aunts. The aunts didn't like to listen to operas very much, so Wu Yunci often accompanied Mr. Cheng to the operas.
That's when everything changed. The first time she met Cheng Xuantong was when Mr. Cheng had his 60th birthday. In the summer of 1920, Wu Yunci moved a small stool and sat in the courtyard watching the fish swimming in the water. The servants at home were too busy to touch their feet, and they would pass by from time to time. Someone would remind her: "Little miss, please come in." She did not listen. Cheng Xuantong was busy with work and rushed back to Peking from Shanghai. The first time he returned to Cheng's house, he saw this little girl with braided braids holding her chin up and not knowing what she was looking at.
"Want some candy?" This was the first thing he said to her.
He put down his luggage, took out a Maldon candy from his pocket, put it on his palm, handed it to Wu Yunci, and asked her with a smile.
She was a little scared and stared at him for a while before carefully reaching out and taking the candy wrapped in red paper. There were some words on it that she couldn't quite understand. Cheng Xuantong smiled and said, "Hello, I am your second brother."
In her memory, this may be the only time the Cheng family has been so lively. In the years that followed, she would always think of the scene when she first met him, and those days in Peiping.
But the years are gone forever.
