Grandma Su began to recall things that happened decades ago.
"Lu Maoyan's first wife was named Wang Cuilan, a practitioner of acupuncture. Of course, back then, they weren't called acupuncturists; she was an apprentice to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specialized in performing acupuncture treatments."
"Grandma knew her because she sought help from that old doctor for a headache, and it was Wang Cuilan who gave Grandma the acupuncture treatments."
"After a week of treatments from her, Grandma's headaches were gone. But not long after, she fell ill herself. To Grandma, she was a lifesaver. Without her acupuncture, who knows when my headache would have gone away."
"While she was in the hospital, I wasn't too busy, so I went to see her. She asked me for a favor, to tell a man named Lu Maoyan about her critical illness."
