She was 48-day-old when she was sold. A couple with a little boy bought her as a wife for their son. She was bought up in the family. They were going to get married; however, the young man went to war and never came back. Her heart was broken.

She met a man year later and got married. He was a not a smart man but he was honest and simple. He loved her.

He never said “I love you” to her. But, he always remembered she likes eating steamed pork and hates chicken feet. He never forgot picking out the chili from her dish. She took good care of him, never complain. In sixty years, they are the happiness of each other.

This morning, he stopped breathing. Her beloved passed away. She cried tears of sadness and heartache. She held his body tight and asked why leaving her without a word. She couldn’t believe that he was leaving. He was always with her. He never left her alone.
