One of the soldiers was holding a small dark-colored box in his hand. On the box was a square red flag. There were a few soldiers behind the two soldiers. The villagers surrounded them, and some of her aunts were sobbing.
Later, she found out that her mother sacrificed herself and her remains rested in that small dark-colored box.
The peach blossoms fell like rain. The sky was filled with grey mist, and it was drizzling. When it fell on her face, it was very cold. Her heart felt empty.
They all said that her mother sacrificed. Sacrifice meant death.
What was death?
When she was three years old, she experienced her mother's death and understood what death was.
