Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

Chen Yindou revealed a hint of a smile, "He was always clever, learned everything quickly, and was sensible. When I joined the Independents, I was always busy outside and neglected my home, only returning once a year. But Little Ten always remembered me. Every time I came home, he would come to meet me from afar, calling me 'Grandpa' and asking to be held. At that time, he was only three or four years old."


Xuan Shan thought for a moment, not quite understanding human emotions, and said, "After his rebirth, he still outshines others; compared to him, other humans seem dull. Are you really ready to let him go, Yindou?"


Chen Yindou shook his head, hands behind his back looking towards the distant mountains, and murmured, "Let go of kinship? No, I can never let go."


Xuan Shan stood behind him and said, "Sometimes, you have no choice but to let go."
