It's drizzling outside, and I gently brush off the accumulated dust with my hands. This diary, sealed for three years, contains more than just the bright colors of youth or good-looking Hollywood blockbusters; rather, it has yellowed traces and a few crooked pen marks that resemble earthworms – "standard" children’s handwriting. Its content is mostly understated, yet these understated words are actually the experiences of my childhood.

"March 27, 2000, Foolish Xiaoying and Xiaoben have run away. Mom told me they won't come back. I'm so happy to be free from their 'du (poison)'!" The word 'poison' blurs like ripples in water, no, it's tears. Just this one word turns all the understated descriptions into something extremely significant.
