Mu Huitumi

The boy died suddenly before he reached adulthood, leaving Mu Hui alone trapped in the obsession between life and death. Others only know that she is addicted to the past and depressed, and they take turns using gossip, advice, and cold violence to consume and grind her endlessly in the name of "for her own good." Everyone is forcing her to compromise and be patient, and to let go of the past and adapt to the world as soon as possible. The sister-in-law was the only one who knew the truth about the young man's death. She could see Mu Hui crying silently every night, using alcohol to suppress himself, becoming increasingly closed and haggard, but she could never understand the pain surging in her heart. She always gently persuaded her to let go, hoping that she would bow to the world. Everyone believed that the deceased young man was the shackles that trapped Mu Hui, but only Mu Hui knew clearly that the prejudice and persecution from the living people were the sharp blades that cut her; and the young man who fell asleep early was her only remaining shield in the harsh world. She wears a piece of jewelry engraved with a forget-me-not pattern close to her body and calls it Xiao Wu after the boy's surname. She firmly believes that artifacts have spirits. Over the long years, the whole world wanted to forget her, but Xiaowu stayed close to her skin day and night, catching her grievances, unwillingness and longings that she had nowhere to express, and accompanying her alone for a long time on behalf of the young boy who stayed in his youth. The tea leaves are all gone, the other shore is far away, Mu Ran looks back at the fireworks in the sky, and can no longer wait for her return.
