"Yichen, everyone in this world is the same; not many are good people. You might think I'm making a sweeping statement, but there are things you only realize once you experience them yourself—they're just so disgusting!

Zhang Yichen never expected his mother to think this way today, even less so that she would use this method to enlighten him. He had often imagined his family would support him in times of difficulty, but he never expected this day would actually come. When it did become reality, he couldn't express how happy he was. Initially, he thought it would always be like this, but he could never have predicted the larger upheavals that lay ahead. Repeated family crises gradually eroded his confidence in his family and finally led him to completely lose trust in his parents.
