The Old Code in Food Stamps

Inside the food stamp was a yellowed piece of paper with a code that no one could decipher. After her grandmother passed away, Lin Zhi discovered this strange string of words while sorting out her belongings. The code points to the Nanpo locust tree that has been abandoned for many years outside the town, and to a forgotten old millstone. She searched for pictures and dug out a black-and-white photo she had never seen before - in the photo, her young grandmother stood side by side with a strange man, with two names written on the back: Qingwu, Yuanzheng. Who is he? Why was this photo buried underground? Why didn't grandma ever mention this name until her death? During the investigation, a past event that had been sealed for sixty years slowly emerged: a report letter in the winter of 1968, a little man who did anything for his future, and a pair of lovers crushed by the torrent of the times. In exchange for her life, he took the initiative to walk into the interrogation room, bear all the charges, and never returned. The only thing he left her was a food stamp. There was a sentence written on the back of the food stamp, and she spent the rest of her life answering it. Lin Zhi followed the clues and retrieved scattered fragments from the mouths of the elderly insiders. Until all the clues came together, she finally understood that her grandmother had been as silent as a stone her whole life, but in a corner that no one knew, she had carved that person's name into every inch of her life. It turns out that some love has never been truly buried.
