A light rain was falling as Old Zhang sat by the window, gazing into the distance, lost in thought. He recalled the days of his youth when he and his wife toiled together in the fields. Though hard work, they were filled with hope. Now, his wife was gone, leaving him alone, and an endless tide of longing washed over him, tears streaming down his face. He wiped his tears, and silently said to himself, “I will live well, and not let down the years we spent together.”
