The first time Lu Xiuyuan and I met was on the ship from Hong Kong to Shanghai.
The mainland was raging with war and warlord rule. At that time, I was just a displaced Suzhou embroidery girl, and he was the heir to a prominent Hong Kong family.
That year, I spent his most fearful night with him on the boat, and he also silently accompanied me through the difficult years of wandering in the harbor.
To him, I was salvation, rescuing the young man who was frustrated at night. To me, he is also the light, leading me out of the darkness of thick smoke.
I am destined to return to my small town of Suzhou, and he will never be able to let go of those national and family hatreds.
When the rain of the Republic of China fell on us, one drop was enough to drown us.
Purpose: To sacrifice our small family for everyone
