February 8, 2009, the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
Eleven o'clock in the morning,
Modu's weather has a hint of warmth now; the streets and alleys have returned to their pre-New Year bustle.
The crowd returning from their hometowns have also returned to this big city full of infinite possibilities, which can be both intoxicating and sorrowful.
In the airport waiting hall,
Li Yuan, wearing a mask, looked at the large screen in the airport, quietly waiting for the arrival of Xia Zhijin and Chu Yanyan, the sisters.
In his ears, the music broadcast from the airport plays the song "The Ordinary Road..."
[I've climbed over mountains and crossed the seas, and also through crowds of people.]
[Everything I once had vanished in a blink like smoke.]
Listening to his own song, Li Yuan smiled slightly.
For over a month now, wherever he goes, in whichever city, he can hear his own songs.
