She hoped that her touch might bring him some comfort, perhaps... this warmth might not do much.
However, Ming Mei wanted him to know that she's there for him.
Kang Chen turned his head towards Ming Mei and laughed, "But today, I'm glad you're here. I can tell everyone that I have a wife now, and we're soon to have a child. Let them be envious."
Ming Mei gave him a radiant smile, like a brilliant blossom in the sunshine, filled with hopes. Looking at her, it felt like seeing a bright future!
They finally reached the grave of Ming Mei's father.
His name Ming Zhao was inscribed on the tombstone, along with a framed photo.
The face in the photograph, so young, clad in military uniform, looking handsome and valiant. The upturned corners of his mouth resembled the way Ming Mei smiled.
Ming Mei looked at the photograph and suddenly she couldn't hold back her tears.
She remembered the faded letters and the bullet-riddled military uniform.
