Jiang Baishu had initially signed up in secret, behind his parents' backs. The old couple only found out when the recruiters came to pick him up.
Back then, a fresh-faced Jiang Baishu had waved goodbye, promising to make his parents proud and bring home a medal of honor.
Chen JianShe had thought the man would be back soon.
Who would have thought things would change so drastically? The Jiang family's parents passed away one after another. Word was sent to Jiang Baishu, but no reply ever came. His younger sister and brother were living in squalor, yet Jiang Baishu never appeared.
After two or three years had passed like that, everyone said Jiang Baishu had died out there.
Even Chen JianShe had come to believe it.
Now, he had suddenly reappeared. Seeing the tragic changes to his family, 'if it weren't for his sister and brother, he might have gone mad.'
