Features: Since I was born, she had already become a girl. When I struggled to become a man, she had long become someone else's wife. For many years, I had a dream to make time stop forever in her golden age—although I had kissed the young cloth shop owner, I had not yet become his wife. Later, when I left the small town where I had lived for many years and went to the capital to become a poet, she already had her child. The day before I left the small town, I went to see her for a farewell. Just like before, I still didn't walk up to her to speak but climbed the tall lemon tree opposite the cloth shop. Up in the tree, I saw her sitting behind the counter feeding the child, and as I watched, tears gradually wetted my eyes.
