*Gloomy, solitary teacher Xie Yuan x talkative farm owner Fang Yinian
After the funeral, Xie Yuan found an old wooden box among her mother's belongings. It was filled with letters. She counted more than a hundred of them.
They were all addressed to a woman named Zhu Yu.
Xie Yuan knew all her mother's friends and had never met anyone by that name. After much hesitation, she finally sent the letters.
A few weeks later, she received a reply.
The writer said Zhu Yu had died two years earlier. She had died of an illness, in great pain, and had kept repeating one name before her death:
"Xie Wenjun"
Xie Yuan wrote back: That was my mother's name.
To uncover the mysterious history between the previous generation, Xie Yuan contacted Zhu Yu's daughter, Fang Yinian.
At the beginning of summer, she arrived at the source of the past.
