An Jing saw this, saw so much.
He saw, a veteran soldier ended the war but could not find the road home. That village had long been ravaged by war, even the ruins disappeared, and he searched aimlessly in the desolate woods, unable to find even a single bone.
He saw, a child choked to death because he ate a bit more due to a good harvest at home, his mother cried herself into unconsciousness, his father fell into madness. Everything seemed to get better, yet someone always encountered misfortune.
