December 10, 2010. Hongkong.
It was a cold night and it was a heavy downpour. Xiaochen had just finished music lessons and was about to take a ride home. But the rain was so heavy that even the sight was poor.
Xiaochen took an umbrella and walked and walked, out of sudden, she reach to the old house of Chen Yanzu.
She fell down right outside the old mansion.
Xiaochen saw the lights on the second floor of the old house, and she recalled the stories of what her classmates told her…..
"Xiaochen, Xiaochen. You must remember there is something strange about the old house near our university. Morning and night are totally different. It is a shabby house in the morning, but it turns into a beautiful big house at night." Classmate A explain.
"Yes! I heard that there was a handsome man living in the old house. A few years ago, the government wanted to demolish the old house, but many weird things happened. I heard that it was because of a ghost. It's so scary." Classmate B replied.
Back to reality.
"Is it really so scary? But the rain is falling too heavy. If I fall again, I will definitely get wet. And it's already nine o'clock at home. Alas! ! I better go to the old house to take shelter from the rain. "Xiaochen said to herself.
Xiaochen knocked on the door vigorously...
"I'm sorry! Is there anyone here? Can I come in to avoid the rain?!" Xiaochen asked loudly.
No one in the house responded, but the door opened gently.
Xiaochen turned on the flashlight mode of her mobile phone and walked in cautiously.
Suddenly all the lights on the first floor turned on. Xiaochen was startled. At this time, an oil painting attracted her...
"Wow! This painting is so exquisite. I believe that the deceased must have been an outstanding troupe and actor before he passed away. But, the decoration here seems to be from the 1970s. These are antique." Xiaochen said to herself.
Xiaochen continued walking. She walked up to the second floor.
When she reached the second floor, she vaguely heard songs from the early 1970s.
She walked in, towards the direction of the song. Later she saw a light on in one of the rooms. She opened the door.
Chen Yanzu saw her and hugged her tightly...
"Xiao Qin! I finally found you! I missed you so much!" Azu cried.
Xiaochen felt a very cold sensation embraces her arms. She sneezed loudly...
"Ah-Choo! How can you be so cold!? You...who are you?!" Xiaochen asked in surprise.
"I am the owner of this big house, Chen Yanzu." Azu replied gently.
OS: "Wow, this man has a very nice voice and he looks very familiar."
"This rain will not be stopping so soon. You can spend the night here. I have a few rooms here. You can stay in any of the room." Azu said.
"Thanks. This is such a big mansion. Excuse me, do you live here alone? Where are your relatives?" Xiaochen asked.
"My relatives? Maybe they don't remember me anymore. I have trust the wrong person and chose the wrong path in my life." Azu said sadly.
1965. Guangzhou (Dongguan).
Many children were playing in the pond. They all took off their clothes and played. Only Yanzu stood at a corner alone.
He think about his mother and Chen Amei's advice...
"Azu, you have to remember. You must not fall into the water. There is something special in your lower body, and people will laugh out loud if they see it. Your father will beat you." Amei said.
Back to reality.
"Azu! Quickly come to the pond and play! It's so much fun here!" Child A shouted.
"No, I...I don't know how to swim." Yan Zu replied.
At this moment, a small splash water on yan zu....
"Hey! Come over to play! The water is only up to the ankle! It's very shallow." Xiao qin said loudly.
Yan zu totally forgot about his mother's words and went to the pond.
After playing for some time, a boy suddenly pull down yan zu pants…..
"Oh my god! His dick is so tiny and his bottom is so weird! Disgusting!" A small boy laugh loudly and said.
Yan zu quickly pull up his pants and ran home crying.
Lots of villagers kept staring at him with his naked bottom.
In the house.
Yan zu was beaten by his father and his grandma…..
"What did I warn you!? Didn't I tell you not to be naked!? You're such a disgusting person!? Don't you know your body is so weird and dirty!?" Chen Guang asked angrily.
"Guang! Quickly throw him out of the village! I don't want to have such a grandson! It's such a disgrace!" Chen Lao replied angrily.
That night, yan zu got fever and cried badly.
His mum stayed beside him whole night.
June 10, 1965. Yan Zu's 5th birthday.
The whole village celebrated Yanzu's birthday. No one knew the difference in his body except his own parents.
The celebration was over and Yanzu was busy washing things. He overheard his parents talking. He hid outside his parents' room and heard everything.
"I heard that Azu will be sent to the theater troupe in Foshan early in the morning! It will be better that he stay in the theatre troupe. There are many men like his kind of body. If he continues staying in the village it will be a big disgrace to all of us! Such a disgrace! Having a man body but having female organs! Puke!" Chen Guang said loudly and angrily.
"Azu is your son! How can you say such things!? Azu is such a handsome boy and obedient! I really can't bear to abandon him!" Amei replied with tears.
"Dear, don't worry, we can have more babies in the future. Forget about yanzu." Chen Guang said.
After Yanzu heard this, he went outside the house to cry alone.
