Pei Zhen's parents were lecturers in a university. In addition, they specialized in Archaeology and were renowned in the field. Their peers knew them as "The Condor Heroes."
The Condor Heroes were busy people. If they weren't exploring the hills, then they were setting foot in a deep forest. It was only in recent years that things had changed. They had stopped going out into the fields, though they were still busy expanding their work internationally.
In archaeology, a trip lasted a year or more, and even short trips were in terms of months. Therefore, they were seldom home.
When Pei Zhen was in his second year of high school, he fell ill. At that time the Condor Heroes were digging graves in a remote area not covered by a mobile network and couldn't be reached.
Fu Sichen's parents, who were Pei Zhen's next-door neighbors, were kind and took Pei Zhen in. They looked after him like he was their own.
