Jianjun thought back to the day he had received the letter.
During that period, things had been terrible for his entire family.
His father had just died in prison, his mother was down physically, emotionally and psychologically.
His sister had refused to talk to anyone after returning from school and had simply locked herself inside all day long.
Things didn't get any better after the Song elders came to pay them a visit; asked his mother to kneel and make him promise to never contact their daughter since she was going to get married to someone else soon.
