Hong Minghua

When they were children, Xiao Hong, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Hua were the closest of friends.

Later,

Xiao Ming became a writer, creating one beautiful, wondrous fantasy world after another.

Xiao Hua became a photographer, capturing life's most real moments and people with her camera.

Xiao Hong became a painter. In her paintings, demons devour apples, three ghosts chase one another across a clock,

and Cupid dances with a snake.

Then

Xiao Hong died.

Xiao Ming died.

Xiao Hua died too.
