Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi also returned to Beijing with them, along with a pile of food gathered by the elderly Shen couple, which occupied half of their luggage.
When Jiang Chengsi arrived, he brought only a few clothes; when leaving, he still had the fate of a laborer—not his belongings, but he still had to help carry them.
