In mid-August, Xiao Zhao called the village office for Lin Liuping. He said that starting this month, the military was intensifying its training, and no one was allowed to leave the barracks, not even on Sundays. So, he wouldn't be able to visit. He added that Zheng Shaolian had been hospitalized after saving a comrade during a field exercise and asked if Xiao Man could make a trip to Wancheng on Sunday.
When Lin Liuping relayed the message, Xiao Man's eyes went wide. 'Zheng Shaolian? Saved someone? And got injured doing it? I can't even imagine it!'
