Snowy night. In the early 20th century, Harbin was a city of exiles and a paradise for adventurers. You rarely see Chinese-style buildings in this city. Regardless of whether you take overhead shots or follow up on the ground, 70% or even 80% of what you see are foreign buildings. In addition, at least 2/3 of the people walking on the street are foreigners of all kinds. Moreover, all the shops, various offices, and even the street signs on both sides of the street are in Russian. In a trance, you will feel that this is a city of foreigners - this is the basic form of Harbin at the beginning of the last century. Of course, it seems smaller and simpler. But importantly, it is an important station on the China-Eastern Railway.

Kangnian Village is an inconspicuous small village on the Great Plains, in a remote area with no resources. It is neither close to the sea nor coal mines. If you dig a few feet upward, you will find nothing in the sky. If you dig a few feet underground, you will find nothing but mud and not even a single stone. To build a house, the villagers have to go to the mountainous area three to four hundred miles away to get a few square stones as foundation stones. There are no mountains or water on the plain. The scenery is not beautiful, and there are no historical sites. If there is scenery, there are only a few sparse willow trees scattered in and outside the village. They look a bit dark green in spring and summer. Occasionally, a few birds fly over, rest on them, chirp for a while, as if they are discussing the barrenness of this place, and then fly away like arrows. The so-called plain is just a piece of white-flowered saline-alkali soil. Such soil cannot even grow crops, so the village has been poor for many years.

At around 10 a. M. On March 7, 1947, a convoy of six cars drove to the Third Detention Center of the Nanjing Police Department, the capital of the Nationalist Government. Several senior police officers walked out of the guard room, led by a short, fat man in his fifties with a sallow complexion. This man was Li Weicheng, deputy director of the Capital Police Department. Following him were the two chiefs of the pre-trial department of the Metropolitan Police Department and the chief of the detention center. What these senior police officers greeted were the six responsible members of the "Tianliang Charity Relief Association", a non-governmental charity organization founded by Chiang Kai-shek's wife Soong Meiling in Nanjing at that time. These six are all women, and their husbands are senior party, government, and military officials of the Kuomintang.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, a beggar died at the end of Hanlin Village. At first, people just talked about it. A beggar died under the stone arch bridge at the end of the village. Lao Guo stood on the window sill of the back door of the post office and told Osmanthus about this matter. Guihua felt unsure after hearing this. I don't know who that beggar is. Could it be Cheng Liuer? Osmanthus stood there and saw that the hard light of winter had been dragged far away, and the sunflowers hung softly on the cement floor. Several dogs lay in the shadow of the light, enjoying the joy brought back from afar by people who went out to work. Guihua's two children also just returned from college. They heard Lao Guo telling Guihua about the village end, so they followed their mother. When she saw the corpse, Guihua's feet were soft: her face could not be distinguished clearly and was covered with blood clots; her hair was messy and her clothes were even more torn.

The village road was smooth and straight, and there was not a single pedestrian in sight. Zhang Hengwu continued to accelerate. Lao Wang, who was sitting in the back seat, felt that the car was fluttering. He said to Zhang Hengwu, Captain Zhang, please slow down and don't break this old car into pieces. There was not a single person in the village when they were arrested just now. It was okay. Zhang Hengwu said, don't worry about anything, let's hurry up, there is a suspect in the car. As he spoke, he looked at the rearview mirror. There was indeed no movement behind him. Baobulibutun, which was thrown farther and farther away, looked like a huge yurt, standing quietly at the foot of Xiaota Mountain. It was dusk at this moment, and a red sun hung over Xiaota Mountain, reflecting a soft light against the rocks and snow.

The "5·13" incident has passed, and time passes very slowly for me, as if it has stopped. I was immersed in a very bad mood and couldn't extricate myself. May has passed, June has passed, July, August, September and October have passed, but I still continue to have nightmares about the scene I saw that early in the morning. To be precise, the murder occurred at night, the night of May 13th. That night, our No. 1 Middle School Class 1 (3) was doing evening self-study with Teacher Wu tutoring us in mathematics. After the self-study, the day students picked up their schoolbags and went home, and I was among them. After I got home, I hid in my room and read a book unintentionally.

Feeling tired, I climbed into bed and fell asleep.

I am a criminal, running away in the green mountains and forests. I don't know when I will be caught by the police, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next second. At this moment, I just walked through a forest and came to a path. The path is like the wrinkles of a mountain, winding and embedded in the withered yellow weeds, making it impossible to guess where it will turn. The setting sun pulled the last ray of light from my feet and fell into the mountain stream, leaving a huge silhouette behind. When the sky darkened completely, the silhouette disappeared. This world is dominated by darkness. Fortunately, there is light, although the light it shines here is very weak, but I can take advantage of this weak light, bend down, and move forward slowly like a wriggling earthworm. In the middle of winter, the wind is chilly and it's night again, so it's even colder in the mountains.
