**To Tang Yixun**

**Ah Xun,**
Fate has reversed itself. Are you doing well now?
After leaving Meiwan Town, did you go somewhere far away, where the night sky is full of stars?

I’ve seen you in Meiwan Town—spirited and full of life, with a resilience like wild grass, unafraid to risk everything for those who matter.
And I’ve seen you in Beixing City—weathered by time, trapping yourself in memories, guarding a promise for a lifetime.
In your youth, your fists fought battles and collected debts; by middle age, your shoulders carried the weight of others.

Kindness always echoes back.
When fate handed you a swamp, you turned storm clouds into an umbrella.
I’m here—believing that love and light have always been with you.
No matter how difficult things get, you will make it through.

You and Ah Tang must have gone to Beiji Village—seen the heavy winter snow, and witnessed the brilliance of the aurora.
I believe fate will let you meet Xiao Nian again.
Remember to hold her tight when you do.

Every year on **November 9th**, you must be happy.
Because now, you have us.
The cake will be sweet, and you can even have an extra bowl of sweet soup.
I hope you live for yourself.
I hope you stay healthy.
I hope your whole life is a good one.

Somewhere in the tunnel of time, there must be a mailbox connecting you and me.
When spring returns and the flowers bloom, we will meet again.
