My wife died in a car accident, leaving me with our son, who had just started kindergarten. I forced myself to finish the funeral arrangements and returned home, only to find my father-in-law and mother-in-law at the door with my brother-in-law. They wanted to inherit my wife’s estate, including an old Western-style house in Shanghai that my parents had left me. That was when I finally realized I had let my wife change me too much. They had never seen the way I used to tear people apart and leave them in pieces.
