A Drop Flows to the Sea

“In the tenth year of King Fuchai of Wu's rule, Wu led the campaign against Qi, advancing up the Han Canal.” “I had no name. In my fragmented memories, I vaguely recall that my surname was Shui, and that I lived alone in Langya amid the turmoil of war. He gave me a name and set me free.” “A drop of water flows toward the sea; the ocean is where every drop ultimately belongs.” First published on Tangyuan Chuangzuo. Also known as Attack on Qi.
