Jiang Man had never considered herself to be fussy.
Having only her adoptive father's care and no mother's nurture made her more resilient than other girls her age.
At the age of twelve, she came down with chickenpox and had to be hospitalized with an IV drip.
Due to the discomfort in her body, she would throw up after eating, and went a whole week without food.
One day, as she went to the restroom, she discovered her pants were all red.
Upon taking them off, she saw her underpants and hospital pants were soaked with fresh blood.
Being young at the time, she didn't think about menstruation and assumed it was some complication from the chickenpox.
She thought she was going to die, yet not a single tear was shed.
Afterward, she even wrote a will, expressing gratitude for her adoptive father's kindness in raising her.
Because of her period coupled with chickenpox, she fainted for an entire day.
