"You should know that her mother was of mixed Chinese and German descent, and before she died, she was entrusted with scattering half of her ashes into the Rhine, and she came back on March 10 to pay tribute to her mother on the banks of the Rhine. Visit wèn:. Usually at this time, she comes with her four children. As for September 3, neither her husband nor her children would be with her, and that day belonged only to her and her grandfather. Speaking of which, every year on September 3rd, before she and her grandfather met, her grandfather would also appear under that tree, day after day, year after year, rain or shine. It's as if it's a pact between them. By the way, under which tree did my grandfather die? He thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, March 10 is coming soon, and she should almost be back." ”
