She didn't say anything, just pulled me into the car. We drove to a distant place.
There was a dilapidated amusement park that had been destroyed by war.
She said, "I've been waiting for you to come find me! Tomorrow I'll return to my country, a very beautiful place. Will you come find me in the future?"
I still asked her, "Can you not leave?"
She smiled and said, "I have thought it through. My brother said that farewells between people are inevitable! If you don't want to part, then stay together forever! Zi Toufa, come to China to find me, and we will be together forever!"
At that time, I didn't understand what it meant to be together forever.
All I knew was that when she was in danger, I would risk my life to protect her, when she was hungry, I would cut the flesh from my own body to feed her, when she cried, I would do everything I could to make her laugh...
