On a cold night, when the doorbell rang terrifyingly, a pair of sisters were woken up by a violent knocking at 11 PM. The sister, terrified, quickly got out of bed and shouted, "Who?" There was no answer, but the knocking did not stop. The loud sound in the silent winter night seemed rude and reckless. The younger sister also got out of bed. The sister glanced around anxiously for a moment, gathered courage, and shouted again, "If you don't answer, I'll call for help!" The knocking suddenly stopped, then became even more frantic. Extreme fear made the sisters too scared to approach the peephole to see what was causing the trouble. The house hadn't been installed with a phone yet, so their only way to contact the outside world was through their voices. The sisters rushed to the balcony and shouted in trembling voices, "Someone, help!" The brother's house was in the dormitory area of his workplace. At this moment, several people came out of the guardhouse, but they just glanced at the sisters on the fifth-floor balcony and went back to playing mahjong. The sisters clearly saw that the lights were still on in the neighboring houses, and their cries for help were as effective as a military lights-out signal. The area immediately plunged into darkness. The knocking mixed with the desperate cries of the two girls lasted for half an hour. There was no response, and the night seemed so fierce. When everything settled down, the sisters trembled and hugged each other, only hearing each other's "thumping" hearts. They sat neatly dressed on the bed, with two kitchen knives with cold glints placed on the bedside. The next day, the furious brother finally found out the truth: a man downstairs had gotten drunk, mistaken the room, and knocked without opening the door, thinking his wife wouldn't let him in. A month later, the brother quit his well-paying job at the company and moved to the south, with only one reason: he couldn't stand being in a group that ignored life. This time, the conservative parents didn't stop him. P13-14
