Don’t Let One’s Fertile Waters Flow Into Another’s Field

When Wu Tong arrived at home, her parents returned home from work. They had just prepared dinner and seeing her come home was a very pleasant surprise. When Wu Tong told them of Liang Qing wanting to be her godmother after doing an apprenticeship with her in Hong Kong, they were even more surprised.

Wu Tong's parents certainly knew who their daughter's idol—Liang Qing—was. They also knew what kind of presence she had in the art industry. Although they weren't in the field themselves, they were still close.

Wu Tong's mother worked at the Shanghai theatre. She had previously been an actress, the kind that received awards, but eventually, she retired to work behind the scenes to lead her own team. She had quite an impact on the film industry.

Wu Tong's father was a collector and an antique connoisseur. He was very well known amongst people from that circle and was also a writer as well.
