In the past twenty-eight years when this news was not confirmed, I had been mentally prepared for it, but when I finally saw the dust settle, I felt sad when I faced the luxuriant branches of the hibiscus tree in the corner of the backyard that had been washed green by the winter rain in Northern California. I subconsciously crossed my fingers: Yu Qing died in 2008; in May of that year, a tragic earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, killing more than 200,000 people; and in August of that year, Yu Qing's hometown Beijing held the Olympic Games.

The large living room was immediately illuminated with a soft orange light, and the monstera leaves next to the sofa showed a golden wax sheen. Li Hui's eyes quickly focused and fell softly on the cardboard.

Yuye, a second-generation rich man living in the United States, loves wild beasts. She adopted a tiger and is very emotionally invested in it, but she is very alienated from human emotions.

It has unique themes and wonderful details, and is worthy of attention. Laoshu drove an old silver Toyota and drove all the way from his home in the woods on the mountainside north of Berkeley. As soon as he got off the highway, he ran into two red lights. In desperation, Laoshu, who rarely used swear words, couldn't help but cursed a few times. He stared at the bright red mass hanging high in the middle of the road ahead, his eyes dazzled. In the dark night, the traffic light control program at the intersection gave priority to the cross-crossing avenues, so that once the red light came on, the car heading to the Oakland hills almost took forever.
