Regarding his own honors, old Mr. Ye takes them lightly. While others might hang their medals all over their walls, old Mr. Ye only keeps a few with sentimental value, like a photo album he occasionally takes out to reminisce.

"Have you known Grandpa for a long time?" Perhaps the tranquil environment of the moment led Shen Jiayin to comfortably discuss some personal topics, face-to-face with Zhuang Ruyu, in the old man's room.
"Yes, for quite a long time." Zhuang Ruyu recalled. The first time she met old Mr. Ye was on a winter's day, when the weather wasn't very good. On a whim, old Mr. Ye accompanied his teammates to Hubei, visited a local orphanage, and met her there.
Old Mr. Ye, upon seeing her, asked the orphanage staff, "Where is this child from?"
"She's local," the staff said.
