Chapter 12: Seventh Place (3)
And the inexplicable appearance of these letters is especially creepy--- who put them at the door of Ai Xuefeng's house?
I feel like this event is being veiled layer after layer.
From that day on, I understood a truth:
Don't think that every mental illness can be seen, it's a mistake that everyone is prone to make. In the same way, don't think that every normal person can see it.
The letter paper was already yellowed, and some of the words were even blurred.
I pulled out the first letter.
Tang Daming tells a woman about his inhuman situation and painful feelings. The date is February 24, 1968. At that time, he had been crazy for more than half a year.
I pulled out two letters.
Tang Daming courted the woman, or begged for love, or begged to take him in--- he wanted to go to Shanxi to join her. The date is January 9, 1970.
At that time, it was freezing and snowy, and Tang Daming was wearing a single coat that did not cover his body, sitting on the snow and scolding.
I pulled out a third letter.
Reading between the lines, the woman had not been heard back, and he suspected that she would not receive his letter at all.
He was desperate, but he didn't stop holding the pen.
He needs to talk, and it doesn't matter if he's listening to someone or not. This letter is dated August 12, 1973, and I am already in the first grade of primary school with my school bag on my shoulder.
I said, "Auntie, I'll copy down the address, and I'll definitely go and see it when I have the chance." "
The address was in the countryside near Taiyuan, and I served in Datong. When I got to the recruit company, I learned that the two places were far apart. However, I still looked for an opportunity to go there and found that address.
That woman was Gong Li, who had moved away from Emperor Peerless back then, and she had fallen ill and died many years ago.
She has been widowed all her life and depends on her son for her life.
Her son's name is Ai Tianmin.
I heard that Ai Tianmin is a very honest child, who was admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing at the age of 19, but he did not report that year, disappeared, and never came back.
Soon, I heard from people in my hometown that the Public Security Bureau had arrested that Ah Li, saying that Tang Daming was killed by him, and his real name was Ai Tianmin, who was Ai Xuefeng's widow.
