Fight for Her for Five Thousand Years

The night "she" pushed me downstairs, I thought she was here to kill me. I later learned that she had indeed come to kill me—more than once. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, she was an orphan girl in charge of the Shu Jian Pavilion in Jixia Academy; during the Song Dynasty, she was the most dazzling courtesan in Bianjing City; during the Republic of China, she was the owner of a used bookstore in Peking. Three thousand years, three eras. She killed me three times and saved me three times. I hated her and I loved her. Chinese civilization has only been around for five thousand years, but it took me three thousand years to finally ask that question—— "Who are you anyway?"
