Or, get you something you like, you name it?’. ‘… No.’, the child suppressed her desire for having her favourite toy… after noticing her mother’s too obvious signal of refusal. Even after the child grew up, the uncle was not as rich as he used to be, he still asked the same thing… and had the same answer. It had became a special dialog between them.

Fate has not been very nice to L. I do not know why. Perhaps everything has a reason, or not. L suffered from a horrible disease, making him unable to speak, unable to walk, and finally, die, in his late 60s.

He had been tormented for over 3 years. Right from the beginning of the disease, he had lost the power to talk. He had endured 2 years and 11 months without complaining, or showing a bit of anger or frustration. He always took every chance and every treatment possible. In the end, he died in dignity.
