Here it goes, starting from the Fifth Generation of the Continuous Love…

In the Court of Lord Yue Lao (月老星君), 4 of his young assistants were being asked to do the cleaning of the Hall where the Marriage Recording Books (月下姻緣簿) were kept.

Hong Ling Zi (紅靈子), Hong Xian Zi (紅線子), Hong Huang Zi (紅凰子) & Hong Luan Zi (紅鸞子) arrived at the Hall and with a shock, they found out that the Hall was so messy, due to this was an Order from their Master to do the cleaning, they had to get to work before they were being punished.

While Hong Huang Zi & Hong Luan Zi went to collect the dusting equipments, Hong Ling Zi & Hong Xian Zi stayed back to pick up all the Books which were laying around and carefully categorized them accordingly to year, countries, Realms & Being-types.

Just as Hong Ling Zi was shifting the Books into the Inner-hall for storing, he came across a Chest that was left open. Recalling from what his Master had advised them on, this was a Confidential Chest, no one was to open it without any permission and so, Hong Ling Zi was surprised to find it left open.

With curiosity, Hong Ling Zi retrieved the One of the Records that from the Chest and start checking on the Content.

After reading the Remarks made on the 1st few pages, Hong Ling Zi was amazed to found out that this Book was the Record for the the Ten Generations Re-incarnation of Heavenly Marshal Jin (金天君), Heavenly Marshal Xian (冼天君) & Fairy Qing Xuan (青玄玄女). With enthusiasm, Hong Ling Zi kept on reading. Due to the Record was so detail-recorded, Hong Ling Zi was attracted deeply by it and even Hong Xian Zi walked into the Inner-hall, Hong Ling Zi was not aware of it.

Quietly, Hong Xian Zi sneaked to the side of Hong Ling Zi and when he was about to frighten him, Hong Xian Zi took a peek at the Record and was also attracted by the content. As both of them were concentrating on the Reading, Lord Yue Lao had lead Mother Empress of Western Paradise (瑤池金母) into the Inner-hall to retrieve of the Confidential Record of Dong Yong & Zhi Nv (董永與織女).

At the moment when Lord Yue Lao & Mother Empress stepped into the Inner-hall, they heard an angry comment. From the voice, Lord Yue Lao knew that it was Hong Xian Zi. In the comment, Hong Xian Zi was actually blaming Mother Empress for being Cold-blooded and Iron-hearted, making ALL Lovely Celestial Couples to suffer and not able to be together, etc.

Upon hearing the comment, Mother Empress was shocked and provoked. Following the direction of where the voice came from, Mother Empress arrived at the small area where the Chest was placed.

Seeing Mother Empress had arrived, Hong Xian Zi was shocked.

Soon after Mother Empress approached Hong Xian Zi, Mother Empress started to reprimand on him for being disrespectful. Due to his stubborn character, Hong Xian Zi was unhappy and started to fight back with Mother Empress, blaming her for being un-reasonable and autocratic which led to no freedom in the Celestial Realm.

With the fighting back of Hong Xian Zi, Mother Empress was totally upset by the words and just as she was to carry-out any punishments on Hong Xian Zi, she saw Hong Ling Zi was sobbing at the side. From the expression of Hong Ling Zi, she knew that Hong Ling Zi was actually sobbing due to the Love of Heavenly Marshal Jin & Fairy Qing Xuan. From there, Mother Empress had somehow realised something and after being led to the seat by Lord Yue Lao, Lord Yue Lao was being call-upon to the side.

After Lord Yue Lao came forward, Mother Empress mumbled some secrets to Lord Yue Lao and as immediately, Lord Yue Lao was shocked & puzzled and with hesitation, Lord Yue Lao had to convey the Edict issued by Mother Empress on punishing Hong Xian Zi to Re-incarnate into the Mortal Realm and Hong Ling Zi to be kept in the Celestial Jail until his Date for punishment for Re-incarnating into the Mortal Realm arrived.

Upon receiving the Edict, Hong Ling Zi was shocked & puzzled but due to his timid character, he didn’t dare to fight back and so, he had to thank Mother Empress for being Compassionate for allowing him to Re-incarnate into the Mortal Realm. But on the other side, Hong Xian Zi was unhappy with his punishment and as he was about to fight back again, Lord Yue Lao had to pull him aside to convey some secrets to him. With the secrets that Lord Yue Lao had mumbled to him, Hong Xian Zi somehow understood and so, he prepared to go for his Re-incarnation, but before he stepped out of the Hall, he stared back at Mother Empress and left angrily.

Seeing that Hong Xian Zi was still that stubborn, Mother Empress had to shake her head and then proceed with the retrieving of the Record.

Just before Mother Empress left, she reminded Lord Yue Lao on the punishment that Hong Ling Zi should received in no time, Lord Yue Lao nodded respectfully and sent her off.

After Mother Empress left, Hong Huang Zi & Hong Luan Zi returned back from their errands and were shocked with news of Hong Ling Zi & Hong Xian Zi had being punished for offending Mother Empress. While the 2 of them comforting Hong Ling Zi, Lord Yue Lao ordered them to bring Hong Ling Zi to the Celestial Jail for temporary lock-up.

With a sorrowful departing, Hong Ling Zi had to bid farewell to Lord Yue Lao and with some advised by Lord Yue Lao, Hong Ling Zi was being sent off with the accompanied of Hong Huang Zi & Hong Luan Zi.

In the Mortal Realm, it was Tang Dynasty – in between the Era, the Title of the Tang Dynasty was being changed to Zhou (唐朝年間).

During this Period, Empress Wu Ze Tian (武則天) was on Throne to lead the Imperial Empire.

AD 697, in Lunar 10 Month, after many years of being released to the Border due to demotion, Di Ren Jie (狄仁杰) was being summoned back to the Capital to serve the Imperial Empire. With the clearing of some misunderstanding between the 2 of them, Empress Wu decided to promote Di Ren Jie as the Premier (宰相) and in-order to show the Sincerity, Empress Wu bestowed Di Ren Jie with an Official Purple Robe (紫金袍)and a Turtle Shell Belt (龜甲帶).

From then, Di Ren Jie gained back his reputation & Official Title again.

AD 698, Tu Jue (突厥) – the Ancestor of some Turkish, invaded China. In Lunar 8 Month, Di Ren Jie was being appointed as the Military-Advisor and was asked to station at the Border to fight against the Tu Jue.

During the meeting on the Strategy Planning before the Troop set-off to the Border, Empress Wu had requested Di Ren Jie to recommend some new & capable Generals to join in the Troop, immediately, Di Ren Jie recommended Marshal Jin Hua (錦華).

Upon getting the recommendation and knowing that Jin Hua was a Young & Capable Marshal, Empress Wu accepted it and Jin Hua was being summoned to the Military Department (兵部) to meet up with Empress Wu.

Jin Hua, born in AD 670, hometown was in Shan Xi Province Tai Yuan City (山西省太原市). His Father, Magistrate Officer Jin Gong Ye (錦公葉), was a well-educated & humble person who scored the 2nd position (榜眼) in the Imperial Examination (唐朝文科舉) during Emperor Tang Gao Zong period (唐高宗).

In AD 677, while Di Ren Jie was performing his Inspection at different Provinces, Jin Gong Ye got a chance to meet up with him and from then, both of them became Good Friend. Knowing that Di Ren Jie was an Upright Officer, Jin Hua was being introduced to him and Jin Gong Ye wanted Jin Hua to undergo study with Di Ren Jie.

In AD 696, due to having credits in defeating the Rebellious Bandits in the South, Jin Hua was being appointed as the 4th Grade Marshal in the Imperial Court and was granted with the authority of joining in Confidential Discussions in Military Planning.

Due busy Schedule of work, Jin Hua had neglected his Marriage and so, when Jin Hua received the Order for him to station in the Capital, his Father used the opportunity to seek assistance from Di Ren Jie to look for a suitable Lady for Jin Hua’s marriage.

After Jin Hua settled down in the Capital, Di Ren Jie found a suitable timing and introduced his distant-relative niece Chen Qing Lian (陳清蓮) to Jin Hua, from then, both of them become close friend and in some way, both of them had fall in love for each other.

AD 698, 25th Day of Lunar 8 Month, Jin Hua was being summoned by Empress Wu to the Imperial Court for the finalizing of the Battle Issue, upon receiving the Order, Jin Hua went over to Di Mansion (狄府) to bid farewell to Qing Lian and asked her to wait for his returned. Shyly, Qing Lian nodded her head and agreed to wait for his return, regardless of months or years.

AD 698, 8th Day of Lunar 9 Month, Empress Wu’s Imperial Army Troop set off for the Battling. By the time the Troop reached the Border, it was already the Winter Season. Due to the sudden change of Weather, a lot of the Armies were being seriously affected and a number of them had lost their lives.

Seeing the situation was not right, Di Ren Jie had to make a report to Empress Wu on the situation. While the Reporting Petition arrived at the Imperial Court, Wu San Si (武三思) – the nephew of Empress Wu, got hold of it and deliberately delayed the sending in of the Petition to Empress Wu.

At the Border, Di Ren Jie & Jin Hua were eagerly waiting for the outcome of the Reporting but waiting for almost 3 months, no news was being received. Upon seeing the Armies suffering, Jin Hua had to volunteer himself to Di Ren Jie in taking some necessary actions for the suffering people. And without any other choices, Di Ren Jie had to grant his request. With Jin Hua’s volunteering, Di Ren Jie had gained more trust on Jin Hua and he made a promise to himself that, one day, he would try his best to assist Jin Hua in getting a Good Position in the Imperial Court.

AD 699, Lunar 3 Month, with Di Ren Jie & Jin Hua’s Strategy Planning, Tu Jue was being defeated. From then, Tu Jue had to surrender to China and take refuge under China. Due to Winter Season and the War, many innocent people were killed and many homes were destroyed. After Empress Wu got the Victory Report by Di Ren Jie, Empress Wu appointed him as He Bei Dao An Fu Da Shi (河北道安抚大使) – Ambassador of Comforting the Sufferings, and Jin Hua was being advised to assist him.

After 6 Months of Planning & assisting the Sufferings, most of the Homes were being rebuilt and soon, Peace regained in the Territory.

AD 700, Lunar 1 Month, Di Ren Jie & Jin Hua returned back to the Capital.

Upon returning back, Empress Wu was delighted with the hard-work & loyalty that both of them had put in, on the Day, Di Ren Jie was being appointed as Nei Shi (內史) – Imperial Highest Officer whom could distribute Imperial Order on behalf of the Emperor and with the Reporting of the Credits that Di Ren Jie had send in for Jin Hua, Jin Hua was being promoted to Grade 2 Marshal.

AD 700, Lunar 5 Month, Empress Wu released an Edict on making Buddhism (佛教) as the Main Religion in China (國教) and Taoist Temples (道觀) had to close down. Upon receiving the news and knowing that this was the trick that Wu San Si plotting, despite seriously ill, Di Ren Jie made his trip to the Summer Palace (避暑別宮) to request Empress Wu to stop promoting Buddhism.

After getting the Advises and listen to the explanation from Di Ren Jie, Empress Wu had granted his wish.On the way back to the Mansion, Di Ren Jie had ask Jin Hua to do follow-up inspection on Wu San Si, in-order not to let him had any more choice to plot nasty tricks again. Just as Di Ren Jie reached his Mansion, he collapsed at the Door-way and from then, he was in coma state.Heavenly’s Will was Something that ALL Mortal couldn’t escape.

In the Winter Season of AD 700, Di Ren Jie left the World with an age of 71 years old.After Di Ren Jie’s pass-on, most of the following-up tasks were being left to Jin Hua. And with the Last Will of Di Ren Jie for Jin Hua, Jin Hua had to fulfil his will by assisting the next new Premier – Zhang Jian Zhi (張柬之). And also due to Di Ren Jie’s pass-on, Jin Hua & Chen Qing Lian’s marriage had to be delayed.

AD 701, Jin Hua was being appointed by Empress Wu as the Overall-in-charge of Military Training and make planning for the Military Scholar Examination (唐朝武科舉) that took place in AD 702.Jealousy could kill Millions.After Jin Hua had accepted the Post of Overall-in-charge of Military Training, Wu San Si had started to do planning to pull Jin Hua down. In some events, Wu San Si pretended to show concern on Jin Hua, but secretly, he was making private records on Jin Hua.AD 702, a day before the Military Scholar Examination commenced, Jin Hua was being thrown into the Jail due to the accusation of betraying & doing planning for the Over-throwing of Empress Wu.

AD 703, after the Military Scholar Examination was over, one of the Selected Military Scholars, known as Chen Tian Yao (陳天耀), was being taken-in by Wu San Si as the Private Assistant of him.Chen Tian Yao, was actually the Schoolmate of Jin Hua.

Due to Jin Hua was an Intelligent & Humble boy and always got the most praising from the Elders, Chen Tian Yao had somehow grew hatred against him. Since young, Chen Tian Yao had this thought of getting rid of Jin Hua.Now, being taken-in by Wu San Si, Chen Tian Yao was granted the chance to get closer to Jin Hua. And seeing that Jin Hua had already gained a certain level of Recognition in the Imperial Court, Chen Tian Yao became more jealous and more hatred had arisen.

On the Lunar 8 Month of AD 703, Chen Tian Yao was being ordered to ransack the Mansion of Jin Hua. Just as Chen Tian Yao arrived at the Mansion, Chen Qing Lian was in there doing some cleaning for Jin Hua. Upon seeing Chen Qing Lian, Chen Tian Yao hatred arisen more against Jin Hua and so with an Order, Chen Qing Lian was being captured and thrown into the Jail while Chen Tian Yao accused her as part of the Group that betrayed Empress Wu.Due to long term of stress & sadness, Chen Qing Lian had been infected by illnesses and with the shock that Chen Tian Yao had added on to her, Chen Qing Lian’s illness was worsen. In the Jail, Qing Lian was locked beside Jin Hua. Knowing that Qing Lian was being accused due to his fault and seeing her infected with illnesses, Jin Hua was totally heart-broken.

Soon after Qing Lian settled down in the Jail, Chen Tian Yao arrived outside the cell where Jin Hua was locked to mock at him for being useless, mocking at him for Good-for-nothing and also mocked at him for not able to be a Real-Man, which cause his Love-one to suffer in Jail.With all the mocking that Chen Tian Yao had made against him, Jin Hua got annoyed and with a spit, his saliva landed on Chen Tian Yao’s face.

Staring hard at Jin Hua whom had dared to spit at him, Chen Tian Yao was provoked and with an order, the Jail Guards pulled Jin Hua out and Chen Tian Yao stepped forward and gave Jin Hua a serious & hard bash.Just before Jin Hua pass-out, Chen Tian Yao took out his sword and cut off Jin Hua’s tongue, after then, he threw the tongue back at him and warned him to be more polite in the future when Jin Hua see him.Pitifully, Jin Hua was being thrown into the cell again and left there with blood continue flowing out from his mouth.

Upon seeing that Jin Hua had been tortured and he had lost his tongue, Qing Lian was extremely upset. Trying her best to shift her body to the barrier between the 2 cells, Qing Lian grab hold onto Jin Hua’s leg and tried to wake him up.
Tears rolling. (淚流成河無時干。)
Voice choking.( 聲喊成啞人已殘。)
Love seems like Fateless. (有緣又似無緣盡。)
Suffering multiplied. (傷悲為何增延長。)

Jin Hua was not able to regain his conscious. Qing Lian was frightened by the thought of Jin Hua had pass-on. As she shook his leg, Qing Lian tried her best to call out Jin Hua’s name. With a blast force of calling, Qing Lian spitted out blood onto the cell-barrier and slowly, she collapsed onto the ground.

Weakly, Jin Hua regained his conscious. With a slow turn, he saw Qing Lian was in coma lying on the ground. With a dash, despite the pain and suffers, Jin Hua came to the barrier. Looking at Qing Lian’s pale face, Jin Hua quickly grab-hold onto her hands. With a shock, Jin Hua realised that the hands of Qing Lian was Cold, Cold like freezing ice.Jin Hua tried his best to rub his hands against Qing Lian’s hands.

Calling with a tongue-less mouth, blood flowing, tears rolling, Jin Hua was not able to call back Qing Lian. The warm in his hands couldn’t warm the Already-cold Body of Qing Lian.Jin Hua kneeled onto the floor facing the small opening space on the top of the cell-wall, holding on to Qing Lian’s cold hands and cried out tragically at the Heaven.

The Cry was loud and pity.(一聲哭泣成傷悲)
The Cry had reaches the Celestial Jail where Hong Ling Zi was being locked up.(再聲哭泣天地憐)Celestial was crying.(三聲哭泣淚難干)
Mortally was crying too.(終盡無期還魂天)

With a knocked onto the cell-wall, Jin Hua killed himself in the Jail. With this knock, Jin Hua ended his 33 years of Life in this Mortal Realm.Heaven is fair.AD 705, Empress Wu was being Over-thrown. Wu San Si was being killed and Chen Tian Yao was being chopped into pieces by the Imperial Armies.

With a Gust of Wind, the 3 Spirits went back to the Celestial Realm again.

After their Departure, a Poem was being composed for them:

姻緣巧配天註定。(Fate are planned & arranged by the Nature)
無人能使他更替。(No one can change it, no one can rearrange it)
看似有緣又無緣。(Sometime, the Fate seems like None)
只因十世未完結。 (Just because, the Fate had not yet reach its final)

In-order not to reveal the True Identity of the Real People involved, the Names of the Characters will be changed.

Here it goes, starting from the Fourth Generation of the Continuous Love…

Standing on Tong Que Tai (銅雀台 – now in China Hei Bei Province Lin Zhang County河北临漳县), translated as The Platform of Iron Sparrow, Chen Liang (陳亮) recalled on the Love that he had given to his Wife, Hong Xue (洪雪). Just as Chen Liang was about to step down from Tong Que Tai, Chen Liang’s heart pain relapsed and with a slip, he fell from the 100-over steps and from then, Chen Liang had not woken up.

Back to 42 years ago when Chen Liang was born, Year was AD190.

During that Era, China was still in a Chaotic situation where the Country was being separated into 3 States – Wu (吳), Wei (魏) & Shu Han (蜀漢). Chen Liang was born in the State of Wei, which was the same State-land as Cao Zhi (曹植), the famous Poet and Son of General Cao Cao (曹操).

At young, Chen Liang was an Intelligent Boy whom could memorize & recite a number of popular Lyrics & Poems left down by the Forefathers.

At the age of 12, with recommendation by his Uncle, Chen Ji (陳季), relative of Madam Bian (卞夫人) Wife of Cao Cao, to a famous Teacher which Cao Zhi seek learning from, Chen Liang undergoing training with the Teacher.

Upon joining the school, Chen Liang became Good Friend with Cao Zhi. From the 1st day of their meeting, both of them had started to discuss and test each other on Ancient Phrases, Texts & Lyrics.

Time Flies, Chen Liang was now 20 years old and Cao Zhi had also reached 18 years old. Due to General Cao Cao had to bring his Family over to Ye Cheng (鄴城), and so, Chen Liang & Cao Zhi had to depart and before they depart, Chen Liang made an agreement that they will meet again someday in somewhere in the Wei State and Cao Zhi agreed on that.

On the Day of departing, Chen Liang composed a Song for Cao Zhi, this Song was later known as Song Bie Zhi You He Shi Yu (送別摯友何時遇) – translated as Sending Off my Dear Friend and when we will meet again. Upon listening to the Song, Cao Zhi was deeply touched by the Sincerity and Friendship of Chen Liang, as Cao Zhi ride onto the Horse, he shouted at Chen Liang to remind him on the Vow that he had made and Chen Liang nodded his head.

After Cao Zhi had set off for Ye Cheng, Chen Liang returned home sadly and lonely. Upon reaching home, Chen Liang was being greeted by his Mother, Old Madam Chen, who was a Widow after Chen Liang’s father died in a Battle.

Seeing Old Madam Chen smiling with joy, Chen Liang was puzzled and before he could ask his mother, Old Madam Chen brought him to the side hall to see a person.

Upon reaching the side hall, Chen Liang was surprise to see his cousin, Hong Xue, sitting shyly waiting for his arrival.

Immediately after Chen Liang came into the room, Hong Xue stood up to greet his cousin and with respect, Chen Liang returned his respect to his cousin and both of them were being advised to sit down and chit chat while Old Madam Chen went to the Kitchen to advise the servants to prepare Dinner.

While chit-chatting, Chen Liang found out that, his Uncle & Aunty-in-law had already pass-on in a Battle and now, Hong Xue had to come to his home to seek refuge. Knowing that, Chen Liang immediately agreed and told Hong Xue to treat his home as her home, anything in need, he would try his best to fulfil her request.

Upon hearing that, the nervous Hong Xue blushed and just at that moment, Old Madam Chen called out for Dinner and both of them proceed to the Dining-area for their meal.

Soon, a year had passed.One Day, while Old Madam Chen was in the Main Hall chatting with Hong Xue, Old Madam Chen deliberately made an comment on whether Hong Xue fall for her cousin Chen Liang, with a shock, Hong Xue looked at her Aunty and with a blushed face, she ran towards her room and coincidently, Chen Liang was about to walk into the Main Hall and both of them knock into each other. And at the moment, Chen Liang caught attention of the eyes of Hong Xue and was somehow stunned by the innocent & pure look of Hong Xue.

With 2nd round of Face-Blushing, Hong Xue ran towards her room without any further delay and locked the door.

After Hong Xue left, Old Madam Chen was smiling broadly and called upon her son to her side to ask him whether he like his cousin Hong Xue. At first, Chen Liang was a bit shy to admit, but after a few rounds of pushing and threatened Chen Liang that Hong Xue would be married off to other people if Chen Liang didn’t fancy her, with no other choice Chen Liang had to admit.

Upon hearing that, Old Madam Chen was delighted and agreed to get the Match-maker to do Match-making for them and arranged for a Good Day for the Marriage.

Soon, the Date of Marriage was being arranged and after the Date was finalized, Old Madam Chen & Chen Liang started to prepare for the Marriage.

With the necessary arrangement & preparation, the Day for the Marriage had arrived.

Just as on the Morning of the Marriage, while Old Madam Chen was busily preparing the Offerings for the Ancestors, she had a serious fell from the stairs and after getting the Physician to the house for examining, Old Madam Chen was announced Died by the cause of injuring her head from the fall.

Upon getting the news, Chen Liang & Hong Xue were shocked and couldn’t believed that such thing had happened on their Marriage Day.Marriage turning into Funeral (喜事轉喪), Chen Liang & Hong Xue had to put down all the Marriage Joyous Mood and changed into Mourning Clothing for the pass-on of Old Madam Chen.With the assistance of the relatives, Chen Liang turned the Marriage Hall into Funeral Wake Hall for the Honouring of his Mother.

Soon, after the Funeral, an Elder of the Family approached Chen Liang & Hong Xue, advising them that, for the next 3 years, they had to maintain themselves in the Mourning Mood, do not engaged into any form of intimate actions or talked about Marriage Issues. After getting the advised, both of them agreed and thanked the Elder for the reminder.

After 49 Days, Old Madam Chen was being buried at the back Mountain where Old Master Chen was buried. After the burying, Chen Liang told Hong Xue that he wanted to build a Hut near the Grave to accompany the newly pass-on Mother for 3 years (結廬守孝). Knowing that this was a form of Filial Piety, Hong Xue supported Chen Liang’s idea and agreed to deliver 3 meals to him daily as a form of Encouragement and also a form of Filialy Piety for her pass-on In-laws.

During the 3 years, whenever its time for Meal, Hong Xue would send the Meal to the Hut at the Back Mountain without failed, despite rains or shines.

Even though both of them couldn’t engage into any form of intimate actions, but the relationship between the 2 of them didn’t fade off, instead, the relationship became more firm and loving.

After 3 years, on the Day of removing the Mourning for his Mother, Chen Liang was returned home.

Upon reaching home, Hong Xue had prepared a great feast for Chen Liang as a form of assisting Chen Liang in walking out from the sadness of losing an immediate family member. Just as both of them was about to have their dinner, Liu Qing (劉清), one of the old classmates of Chen Liang, arrived at the house to look for Chen Liang.

As Chen Liang ushered Liu Qing into the house, Liu Qing saw Hong Xue and with a glance, Liu Qing was deeply attracted by the appearance of her. Due to Chen Liang was around, Liu Qing didn’t dare to take any action, but in his mind, the lustful thoughts had arised.

After telling Chen Liang about his trouble, Chen Liang agreed to assist Liu Qing by allowing him to stay at his house for the time being until his trouble being solved. Upon getting the permission for staying in the house, Liu Qing was happy and pretended to thank Chen Liang for showing concern for him, deeply in his heart, he was eyeing on Hong Xue.

Few months passed, everything seems fine, but this was usually the symptom before a Storm arrives.

One Day, while Chen Liang was out to visit one of his Poet Friends in the nearby town, Hong Xue was left alone at home to look after the house.

On the very night, while Hong Xue was about to get in bed to rest, Liu Qing secretly sneaked into her room. Upon seeing Liu Qing had entered into the room, Hong Xue wanting to shout out for help, but it was too late. Liu Qing had used a drug towel to make Hong Xue coma.

After Hong Xue was being drug to sleep. Liu Qing raped Hong Xue. After Liu Qing had accomplished his “lusty task”, he grinned evilly and left the room. Just as Liu Qing leave the room, Hong Xue woke up, by a glance and noticed that herself was not in an Innocent state, Hong Xue shouted out loudly. Upon hearing Hong Xue’s shouting, Liu Qing dashed into the room and threaten her to stop shouting.

Staring hard at Liu Qing, Hong Xue was filled with Hatred & Shame, she ignored what Liu Qing had advised her and kept on shouting for assistance. At this moment, Liu Qing’s cruelty arised and realised that he had to finish-up Hong Xue before anyone found out the truth and so, with his cruel & cold-blooded hands, Liu Qing picked up a scissor from the Needle-thread Box besides the Bed and mercilessly, stab the scissor into Hong Xue’s heart.

With a final weak struggling, Hong Xue was killed by the rascal.

On the moment of Hong Xue’s death, Chen Liang returned home. As he pass-by Hong Xue’s room, he was puzzled to see the door was still open despite the late hour and so with curiosity, he entered the room to look for his cousin.

Upon entering, Chen Liang was shocked by what he had seen. After returning to his conscious, he wanted to run out from the room, just at the moment, Liu Qing hit hard on the back of his head and immediately, Chen Liang collapsed.

While Chen Liang was in his coma state, Liu Qing placed the Blood scissor onto Chen Liang’s hand and after then, he ran to the Magistrate Office to make a report on Chen Liang murdering Hong Xue due to the Hatred of Hong Xue caused the Death of Old Madam Chen on the Marriage Day.

Upon awakening, Chen Liang found himself in the Jail.

After asking, he realised that he was being put into the Jail for “killing” Hong Xue. Knowing that he was being wrongly accused, he pleaded to see the Magistrate Officer but no matter how hard he pleaded for assistance, no one was willing to assist him. Just as he was about to call for help again, one of the convicts advised him to stop. After Chen Liang ceased his calling, the convict explained to him that the Magistrate Officer here was a Money-eater, unless Chen Liang was rich enough to bribe the Officer, if not, he would have to stay here till he died.

Upon hearing that, Chen Liang was totally disappointed.

Waiting and hoping was all he could do to be released from the Jail, but Heaven was not on his side.After many years, one day while Chen Liang was sleeping, he had a dream of Hong Xue smiling at him, just as he was about to call out Hong Xue, he was woken up by the Jail Guard, telling him that someone was there to bail him out.

In puzzled, Chen Liang had to follow the Guard out and as he exit the Jail, he saw Cao Zhi. Immediately, Chen Liang broke into tears and cried out loudly in the hug of Cao Zhi.

After Chen Liang was being released, Cao Zhi brought him back to the house and told him that Liu Qing had been sentenced to death after he requested the new Magistrate Officer to re-investigate the case. Upon knowing that he had regain freedom because of Cao Zhi’s assistance, Chen Liang kneel-down and made his kowtows to Cao Zhi.

Soon after Chen Liang showed his gratitude, Cao Zhi brought Chen Liang to a place. Upon reaching the place, Chen Liang saw the Tomb-stone of Hong Xue. At the sight of Hong Xue’s Tomb, Chen Liang broke-down. Sobbing bitterly and sadly, he was heart broken. Cao Zhi was deeply affected by the Love of Chen Liang. Knowing that Chen Liang would have a lot of sorrows to pour-out to Hong Xue, Cao Zhi had to quietly left the Tomb ground leaving Chen Liang alone.

After a long moment of pouring out all the sorrows, just before Chen Liang was about to leave, he recited a Last Poem to Hong Xue to show his Sincere Love towards his Wife:

千載姻緣兮今已斷。(Long Last Fate has disconnected)

風冷如刀兮入骨寒。(Today’s Wind blow like knife & Blades)

吾妻一去兮不曉返。(My wife had left and wont be returning)

為夫奈何兮情何堪。(Leaving me with sadness and loneliness)

葉落墳前兮似銀錢。(Dropping leaves look like paper offerings)

為吾引路兮到黃泉。(Leading me to the path of no turning)

吾妻勿遠兮待汝夫。(Please do wait for me, my dearest Wife)

雙雙繫手兮入雲天。(Hope we can hand in hand, return to the Wonderland)

吾妻憐。皇天不憐兮。(Who pity my Wife)

汝夫枉。天地無望矣。(Who pity me)

夫來至。(Wait for me and I’ll join in moments within)

On the other hand, while Cao Zhi returned back to his Mansion, a lot of Memories appeared in his mind. He recalled on how his Brother accused him for bringing harm to the Family, accused him on the snatching of the Emperor Throne from him and also recalling of how his Lover was being snatched away by his Brother. After that, the scene of how deeply in love was Chen Liang & Hong Xue also appeared in his mind.

Just as Cao Zhi was about to stop recalling of these, he vomited blood and on that very night, Cao Zhi pass-on with depression & of a weak heart.

On 28th Day of Lunar 11 Month in AD232 (農曆十一月廿八日), Cao Zhi pass-on with an age of 40 years old.

Soon, the news reached Chen Liang. Upon getting the news, Chen Liang was stunned and extremely shocked. Due to Chen Liang had been jailed for 20 over years, his physical health was already badly affected. And so, the news of Cao Zhi’s death added on to the declining of the physical health of Chen Liang.

On the 1st Day of Lunar 12 Month, Chen Liang arrived at Tong Que Tai to show his respect to his pass-on Good Friend Cao Zhi. Upon reaching the top of Tong Que Tai, Chen Liang was able to see the whole view of the Wei Empire (魏皇朝).

With the Breeze, Chen Liang could sense that Hong Xue was standing beside him enjoying the nice scenery with him. With the calling of the Cranes, Chen Liang could see the scene of Cao Zhi reciting Poem with him.

Scenes and scenes of the past appeared in the mind of Chen Liang.

Noticing that the Sun was about to set, Chen Liang slowly walked towards the Stair Alley to make his way down. Just at the moment of making his 1st step down, a strong heart pain occurred at the chest. As Chen Liang was about to grab on to the hand-railing, his view was being blacken-out. From then, Chen Liang never returned to consciousness.

After Chen Liang’s passing on, a Poem was being composed by his Good Friends in the memory of him:

銅雀台上登雲天。(translated as Pass-on on the Platform of Iron Sparrow)

恰似金仙返天闕。(translated as Like the Immortal returning to Heaven)

今生緣盡不復返。(translated as Even though the Fate is disconnected)

來世再續人間情。(translated as We will meet somewhere in the next Re-incarnation)

Here it goes, starting from the Third Generation of the Continuous Love…

In the Celestial Realm (天界), in the Working Court of Lord Yue Lao (月老星君), Lord Qing Xuan (青玄老人) was there enjoying the Celestial Tea that Lord Yue Lao had offered to him. Just as both of them were about to sip in the fragrance Tea, the young assistant of Lord Yue Lao, known as Hong Ling Zi (紅靈子) ran into the Court, claiming excitingly that 3 Gusts of Energies (三股元神) had flew to the Main Gate of Yue Lao’s Court.

After making some predictions from the Finger Formation (掐指), Lord Yue Lao & Lord Qing Xuan knew of what had happened and so, Lord Yue Lao proceed with the checking on the Relationship Record Book (姻緣簿) and within moment, Lord Yue Lao summoned Hong Ling Zi to his side to advise on him of bringing the 3 Gust of Energies to the Eastern Heavenly Gate (東天門) to release them out for Re-incarnation.

Upon getting the order, Hong Ling Zi went to the spot of where the Energies stationed and with a grab, he captured the 3 Energies and ran towards the Eastern Gate, 1st by releasing the Black Gust of Energy into Han Mansion, followed by the Gold Energy into Liu Mansion and last, the Green Energy into Li Mansion.

On the other hand, in the Mortal Realm, Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Che (漢武帝劉徹) just got on his Throne (BC140 – BC87). During this Era, the Mortal Realm was enjoying Peace & Prosperity.

One Day, while Emperor Liu Che was having his Morning Meeting Session with his Officers, Duke Liu Yi (劉毅列侯 – Lie Hou is an Official Term used to address High Rank Officers in Han Dynasty) was being summoned to the front for Rewarding of Tons of Gold & Silver. With Gratitude, Duke Liu Yi kowtowed with respect and was released from the Morning Meeting Session early for returning home for his Son’s 40 Days of Born Celebration.

Upon reaching home, Madam Liu was there to usher in Duke Liu Yi with their son, Liu Jun (劉鈞). Just as he stepped into the House, Duke Li arrived at the doorway to delivery his Greeting to Duke Liu.

Duke Li Ning (李寧列侯), an Officer in the Han Empire and also the Old Good Friend of Duke Liu. Due to his Wife would be giving birth in no time, he had to apply leave from the Emperor to stay at home to accompany his Wife. Today, due to it was the 40 Days Celebration of the New Born Boy of Duke Liu Yi, Duke Li had to come over to Liu’s Mansion to send the Greeting to Duke Liu.

Realising that it was Duke Li, Duke Liu immediately ushered him into the Main Hall for the Offering of Tea. Upon having their Tea, Duke Li sent his Greeting to Duke Liu and Duke Liu returned his Greeting to him too, cos Madam Li would be giving birth in a week’s time. With the to & fro greetings, both of them laughed happily and wishes each other that may 1 Day, they could be much closer with the arrival of the Children.

In the Noon, more Guests arrived at the Mansion of Duke Liu and the Celebration started in no time. Just as All the Guests were there to send their Greeting to Duke Liu, Duke Han (韓正天列侯) arrived at the Mansion of Duke Liu. As Duke Han walked into the Celebration Hall, he gave everyone a nasty stare and upon arriving at the seat of Duke Liu, Duke Han started to wish Duke Liu with some untruthful wishes. Upon hearing, Duke Li was about to talk back, but after Duke Liu hinted Duke Li not too, Duke Li had to suppress his anger.

Knowing that Duke Han was here to seek trouble, Duke Liu carefully and politely ushered him to a Seat and then Offered him with a cup of Wine for thanking him for taking the trouble of travelling to his House for joining in the Celebration.

After sipping a mouthful of Wine, Duke Han spited out the Wine and left the House, saying that the Wine had turned sour.

Upon seeing that, the other Guests were being provoked, but due to Duke Han was the pampered Officer of the Dowager, everyone had to tolerate and Duke Liu had to keep quiet.

Within a week, Madam Li gave birth to a Little Girl, on the Day of the 40 Days Celebration, Duke Liu was being invited to the Celebration. Upon looking at the Girl, Duke Liu was deeply attracted by the appearance of the Girl and so, with the exchanging of Vow, Duke Liu wanted Duke Li to marry his Daughter to Liu Jun as Wife after both of them had grown up and Duke Li agreed on that.

Time Flies.

With a Blink, Liu Jun was already 14 years old.

One Day, after returning from the School, Liu Jun was about to go to look for his father in the Imperial Officer Resting Lounge, Liu Jun’s future Wife – Li Jing Er (李晶兒), was also on her way there. Upon seeing her, Liu Jun started to get nervous and shy. When both of them met up, Liu Jun bow to Li Jing Er and with blushed-face, Li Jing Er had to return her respect to Liu Jun.

Just as both of them were about to enter into the Resting Lounge, Han Ba Hu (韓霸虎) – son of Duke Han, was there to stop them from entering. Due to Duke Liu & Duke Li had advise on the 2 of them of not to provoke Han family, Liu Jun & Li Jing Er tried not to engage into any Conflict with him and so, both of them turned away trying to enter into the Resting Lounge by another path.

Just at the moment, Han Ba Hu tried to stop them again, this time round, Li Jun got provoked and so, he shouted at Han Ba Hu, asking him to get out of the way. Knowing that Liu Jun had got provoked, Han Ba Hu didn’t intend to stop and soon, both of them got into fighting.

Upon seeing that, Li Jing Er was shocked and immediately, she ran into the resting lounge to look for her father & Duke Liu for assistance. Knowing that the Son had got into fighting with Han Ba Hu, Duke Liu had to dash out to cease the fighting before any regrets occurring.

Approaching the fighting ground, Duke Han was already there ordering his assistants to catch hold of Liu Jun. By seeing that, Duke Liu went forward to ask for releasing of his Son. Duke Han pretended that he didn’t hear anything and just before Duke Han was about to set off, Duke Liu kneeled down to plead for forgiven. Knowing that Duke Liu had put down his pride, Duke Han finally decided to release Liu Jun, but with some in-returns - Duke Liu had to give up his Position as an Assistant Premier.

Deep inside the heart, Duke Liu knew that Duke Han had been eyeing for his Position & Wealth for a long time. Besides that, Duke Liu was also getting old and in-order to take good care of his Son, Duke Liu had already had the thought of retiring. And so, immediately without hesitation, Duke Liu agreed with Duke Han’s request. Upon hearing that, Duke Han was delighted and happily, he laughed loudly and left the spot after releasing Liu Jun.

Looking at his father’s state, Liu Jun was totally heart-broken. At the moment, in his mind, he only thought of revenge and wanting Duke Han & Han Ba Hu to die. With the assistance of Duke Li, all of them returned to Liu’s Mansion.

On the Night, Liu Jun couldn’t get into any sleep, cos the scene of how his father was being degraded and laughed at made his blood boil. From then, he promised that he would train hard to master his Martial Art and one day, he would take revenge for his father.

On BC125, 16th Day of Lunar 5 Month, Duke Liu Yi resigned from his Position as an Assistant Premier of Han Empire and his Position was being took over by Duke Han. On the following Day, Duke Li Ning also sent in his Resignation and was being granted by Emperor Liu Che.

After the Resignation, Duke Liu Yi & Duke Li Ning decided to move back to their Hometown and so, after some simple packing, both families made their way back to the Hometown on the 6th Day of Lunar 6 Month.

Just as they were about to set off, a big troop of Armies surrounded them under the Order of Duke Han. In the Order, Duke Liu Yi & Duke Li Ning were found guilty of accepting Bribes from the Commoners & Promoting of the Teaching of Confucianism (in this Period, Confucianism is not allowed to be promoted and can lead to Distorting of the Peacefulness of the Country) and so, both of them were being captured and put into the Heavenly Jail (天牢).

Seeing that, the 2 Madams were shocked and frightened and with the assistance of the Old Servants at home, the 2 families had to return back to their Hometown first before any further issues occurred.

With sadness and fear, the 2 families had to set off while some of the young servants stayed back to do following-up on the outcome of the capturing.

On BC125, 12th Day of Lunar 10 Month, Duke Liu Yi & Duke Li Ning were being executed with the Order given by Emperor Liu Che. On that Day, Snow was strong and the Sky turned extremely dark. According to the Elders, they believed that Duke Liu Yi & Duke Li Ning were innocent and were wrongly excused by the Evil Officer.

Upon receiving the news, Madam Li’s heart attack relapsed and pass-on. Li Jing Er break-down terribly and Liu Jun made his vow in front of the Heaven that he would take revenge for his father and father-in-law.

After preparing a Simple Funeral for Madam Li, Madam Li was being buried within 49 Days. From then, Liu Jun started his Martial Art training under a retired Military Teacher of the Imperial Camp.

BC129, at the age of 18 years old, Liu Jun had somehow mastered his Martial Art and so, he decided to return back to the Imperial City to seek revenge for his Father & Duke Li. On the Day of his departure, Li Jing Er made a toast to Liu Jun and told him that, no matter what, she would wait for his return and if he didn’t return safely, Li Jing Er would follow him wherever he went.

Upon hearing that, Liu Jun was touched and both of them hug together sadly & cried aloud.

After Zi hour (子時), Liu Jun set off.

2 weeks later, Liu Jun arrived at the Imperial City. Knowing that Duke Han was now an Important Officer in the Imperial Court, there were sure to have a lot of Guards around him protecting him and so, Liu Jun observed carefully on the daily activities of Duke Han and would wait for the best suitable timing to take action.

After waited for a month, Liu Jun had found a good suitable timing to assassinate Duke Han. Just as Liu Jun was running towards Duke Han, Han Ba Hu appeared in front of Liu Jun. Liu Jun was shocked but with his determination, Liu Jun had to be firm and with a blow, he knocked towards Han Ba Hu. Without any preparation, Han Ba Hu was being knocked down onto the floor.

Just as Han Ba Hu was about to stand up, Liu Jun used his sword to poke into the Heart of Han Ba Hu and on the spot, Han Ba Hu was killed.

After Han Ba Hu was killed, Liu Jun turned to Duke Han. Due to his reckless action, the Guards were already being notified, within seconds, Liu Jun was being surrounded by the Guards. Without fear, Liu Jun tried his very best to fight back.

During the fighting, both of his arms were badly cut by the swords and spears, but Liu Jun didn’t give up. Just as Liu Jun was about to approach Duke Han, an arrow shot into Liu Jun’s heart from the back.

Even though Liu Jun had got an arrow shot, he didn’t collapsed. In his mind, he only thought of taking revenge for his father & Duke Li and also, to take good care of Li Jing Er.

When the blood started to flow out slowly from the front of his chest, then Liu Jun knew that everything was already too late.

Revenge failed.

Taking care of his Mother was not possible anymore.

Loving of Li Jing Er could not be fulfilled in this life time.

Staring at the blood dripping, Liu Jun cried and shouted out loudly – Why was Heaven so unfair to him…

Just at the moment of blaming of Heaven, Duke Han ordered the Guards to kill Liu Jun on the spot and chop him into mince-meat to feed the dogs.

BC129, 7th Day of Lunar 5 Month, Liu Jun left the World with Hatred & Sorrows.

On the Night of Liu Jun’s passing-on, Li Jing Er had a dream seeing Liu Jun standing in front of her with a sorrowful smile. After waking up, Li Jing Er started to have fever and on the following day, Li Jing Er started to vomit blood whenever she had her medicine.

3 weeks later, the news of Liu Jun’s passing-on arrived at the Hometown, upon receiving the news, Liu Jun’s Mother fainted and Li Jing Er was shocked and totally upset on the passing-on of Liu Jun.Returning to her bedroom, Li Jing Er took out the Handkerchief that Liu Jun gave her and write a Poem on it, the Poem went like this:

緣緣緣生緣已滅。(translated as Fate has appear but Fate is also gone by now)

情情情真情難踐。(translated as We had encountered True love, but it does not last long)祈願來世兩相遇。(translated as Since its now gone, we can only hope that we meet in the next life)在行白髮鴛鴦戀。(translated as When we meet in the next life, hope that we can be husband & wife and enjoy our love for long and last)

After writing the Poem, Li Jing Er hung herself in the Bedroom, leaving the Poem on her Bed with a stalk of her Hair and the Hair that Liu Jun had left for her before he set off for the revenge.

When the maid of Li Jing Er took up the 2 Stalks of Hair, she found out that they were being tied tightly together that no matter how hard they tried to pull them apart, the Hair were not able to be separated.

With a gust of Wind, the Lover returned back to the Tunnel of Re-incarnation.A Poem was being written to Praise on the True Love of them:

結髮夫妻情。(translated as With Fate, a couple become Husband & Wife)

難分與難捨。(translated as With Love, both of them are not able to separate)

一朝為夫妻。(translated as Once the Love is strengthen, no one is able to regret)

百世永相隨。(translated as No matter where the other party goes, the other one will followed)

In here, you all will be reading thru a Long Story of 10 Series. This Long Story is written base on the Spiritual Reading & Prediction, meaning that ALL the Characters in the Story are “True”. In-order not to reveal the True Identity of the Real People involved, the Names of the Characters will be changed.

Here it goes, starting from the Second Generation of the Continuous Love…

Entering into the Re-incarnation Tunnel, Heavenly Marshal Jin (瑤池天將金天君) & Fairy Qing Xuan (青玄玄女) were being re-incarnated into Shang Dynasty.

In the period of their born, Shang Dynasty (商朝) was in a chaotic situation where King Zhou (紂王) was having war with Emperor Zhou Wu Ji Fa (周武王姬發).

After exiting from the Re-incarnation Tunnel, Heavenly Marshal Jin was being born into a Military Family, whom his Father was a General-Incharge of the Western Camp at King Zhou’s Boundary (紂王伐周西營統領). Upon being born into the Family, he was given the name of Jiang Huan (姜還), meaning Returning Peace.

3 years after Jiang Huan was born, Fairy Qing Xuan was also being born into the same Boundary, but somewhere further from the Hometown of Jiang Huan. Fairy Qing Xuan was born into a poorer family whom her Father was a Clay-pottery Seller. With her new Re-incarnation, Fairy Qing Xuan was named as Lv He (呂荷), the reason for the parent of giving her this name was that, hoping that she could be as Pretty as a Lotus Flower (荷花).

At the age of 13, Jiang Huan was started to go under-training his Father in Military Art. Besides that, Jiang Huan also got his Literature Talents from his 2 Brothers whom under-study a famous Teacher in Shang Dynasty. By the age of 16, Jiang Huan was able to assist his Father in making Military Planning and Training of new recruits.

One day, while Jiang Huan was doing his Study in the Military Camp, a Soldier brought in an injured Boy of age of about 15 years old. After examining the Injuries of the Boy, Jiang Huan quickly summoned for the Military Medical Aid Army to his Tentage for the healing of the Boy.

With Days of patience care, the Boy regained his conscious and was grateful that he was being well taken care of. After expressing his thanks to Jiang Huan, both of them exchanged names and the Boy introduced himself as Yao Xian (姚賢).

From then, Yao Xian stayed at the Military Camp to assist Jiang Huan and with a few months of observation on Yao Xian, Jiang Huan decided to coach & train him on Military Strategies & Art.

Time flies, Jiang Huan was already 21 years old. Due to New Year was arriving, one day, Jiang Huan was being released by his Father to return home to accompany his Mother for the Annual Celebration. Just as Jiang Huan was about to leave the Camp Compound, Yao Xian also requested of along with Jiang Huan and Jiang Huan’s father agreed but General Jiang wanted Yao Xian to be back in the Camp before 15th Day of Lunar 12 Month, both of them agreed and left the Camp without further delaying (In Shang Dynasty, the Lunar New Year was being fixed on 1st Day of Lunar 12 Month (商朝農曆年為臘月初一) and not 1st Day of Lunar 1 Month, this was only being finalized in Han Dynasty).

On the way back to the Hometown, both of them pass-by a Busy Street which was a well-known Market Street in Shang Dynasty. Just as both of them were about to leave after purchasing some items, Yao Xian saw a Girl standing by the Road-side calling out of the selling of Clay Utensils. With the attractive appearance & sweet voice that the Girl had, Yao Xian was deeply attracted to the Girl. With lust, Yao Xian ran towards the Girl alone, leaving Jiang Huan going round the Street Market to search for him.

Upon arriving at the Girl’s humble stall, Yao Xian took out a Coin to buy a Clay Jar from her, just at the moment of handling the Coin onto the Girl’s hand, Yao Xian made a tickle on the palm of the Girl. Feeling that Yao Xian was there to take her advantage, the Girl shouted loudly for assistance.

Soon, a group of Crowd gathered around Yao Xian & the Girl, just as the Crowd was about to capture Yao Xian, he ran off with a dash, leaving the Girl crying at the Street-side.

At this moment, Jiang Huan accidentally pass-by the Crowd and was wondering what had happen and so, he made his way in from the Crowd to the front. Just by the time that Jiang Huan reached the front, the Girl lifted her head up looking at the Crowd and at that split moment, the Girl’s eyes caught the attention of Jiang Huan. Immediately Jiang Huan was stunned by the Innocent & Beauty of the Girl.

From the conversation of the Crowd, Jiang Huan realised that the Girl was being bullied by Yao Xian and so, in-order to repay back on the wrong doing of Yao Xian, Jiang Huan took out a string of Coins to purchase all the Clay Pottery from the Girl.

After purchasing, Jiang Huan reluctantly left the Street-side, just as Jiang Huan was about to leave, the Girl stood up and call upon Jiang Huan to express her thanks. Looking at the Girl whom now was able smiled, Jiang Huan picked up his courage to mumble out his name and by returning the respect, the Girl introduced herself as Lv He to him. Immediately after telling Jiang Huan the name, Lv He shyly left the spot, leaving Jiang Huan standing still on the Street-side staring into the space.

Seeing the Crowd started to disperse off, Yao Xian made a whisper to Jiang Huan to signal him over to the backlane. Upon hearing the whisper, Jiang Huan return to his “Proper mode” and ran towards Yao Xian questioning him for his nasty doing.

Yao Xian denied that he had bullied the Girl, instead, Yao Xian push the blame to Lv He for seducing him. Knowing that Yao Xian was lying to him, Jiang Huan didn’t take any action, just that some verbal warning was given to Yao Xian.

With an eye blink, New Year was about to end and so, Jiang Huan had to rush Yao Xian to return back to the Camp before his Father carried out any actions on him. Knowing that General Jiang was a strict person, Yao Xian had to return to the Camp first while Jiang Huan still stayed at home to assist Old Madam Jiang in preparing for the migrating to the Camp Compound.

While on the way back to the Camp, Yao Xian’s nasty attitude arise again. This time round, he went to the nearby Wine Inn (酒家) to consume a great amount of Wine and by the time he returned his conscious from the drunk, it was already 16th Day of Lunar 12 Month. Knowing that he had committed a Military Crime, Yao Xian did not dare to return back to General Jiang’s Camp site, instead, he went to General Hua’s East Camp site to seek refuge under General Hua (華將軍, the enemy of General Jiang due to jealousy).

Upon reaching General Hua’s Camp Compound, Yao Xian pretended that he was being wrongly accused and was beaten up by his own Camp-mates, after listening to Yao Xian’s sorrows, General Hua decided to take Yao Xian in as Private Assistant. The main Purpose of this was to provoke General Jiang by proving that in General Hua’s Camp site, all recruits were be treated fairly.

Soon, this news was being spread to General Jiang’s Camp site and after knowing that Yao Xian had take refuge under General Hua, General Jiang was provoked and he sent 2 Commanders over to capture Yao Xian back.

Just as the Commanders approached the Compound of General Hua’s Camp site, the 2 Commanders were being shot to death by Arrows. After the Commanders were died, General Hua sent a Report to King Zhou, accusing that General Jiang had surrendered to Emperor Zhou Wu.

Upon getting the Report, King Zhou was annoyed and without making any form of following –up, King Zhou immediately issued an Edict for executing of General Jiang.

Within 2 Hours (一個時辰之內), General Jiang was being captured and beheaded at the Penalty Court (刑法場) outside the West Camp Boundary.

Knowing that General Jiang was being killed, Yao Xian was delighted and with his negative thoughts, Yao Xian reported to General Hua that Jiang Huan might return back to take revenge, in-order to prevent Jiang Huan from entering into the Camp site, a fake order must be issued to Jiang Huan for not returning.

After considering, General Hua agreed on that idea and ordered Yao Xian to handle the whole issue for him. Upon receiving the order, Yao Xian grinned evilly and ran off to the West Camp to write a letter by imitating the handwriting of General Jiang. After the letter was completed, Yao Xian sent a new recruit back to the Hometown of Jiang Huan to pass him the letter.

Upon receiving the letter, Jiang Huan went to the address that the letter had stated to meet up with his “Father”, just as Jiang Huan was about to step onto the Journey to the Eastern Mountain (東山), Lv He’s uncle arrived at the door-step to request to meet up with Jiang Huan. Knowing that the elder were the relative of Lv He, Jiang Huan respectfully ushered him into the side hall to offer tea to him and found out what was the main purpose of his visiting.

After telling the truth that Lv He’s parent was being killed by a group of Soldiers from the Eastern Camp, Lv He was now lonely and unprotected. Lv He’s Uncle main purpose of visiting Jiang Huan was to beg Jiang Huan to take Lv He in as a Maid to serve the Family and also to return the Gratitude to Jiang Huan for assisting her at that time while she was being bullied on the Street-side.

Upon knowing that, Jiang Huan was somehow delighted but due to Conservative Era, Jiang Huan had to report to his Mother on this issue and after reporting to Old Madam Jiang, Lv He was being accepted.

On the Day of Lv He’s arrival, the whole Family was shocked by the beauty of her. By looking at Jiang Huan’s shy expression, Old Madam Jiang knew that her Son had actually fall in love with Lv He and so, without hesitation, Old Madam Jiang call-upon her son to one-side to ask him on whether he would like to marry Lv He as a Mistress (due to Lv He’s background, she could only be the 2nd Wife instead of the first even though Jiang Huan had yet to Officially get married 先娶妾後娶妻).

With delights, Jiang Huan nodded his head and on the very Day, Jiang Huan & Lv He got married under the arrangement of Old Madam Jiang.

Just as the Ceremony ended, a new recruit arrived at the door step to rush Jiang Huan to set off his Journey to the Eastern Mountain. Reluctantly, Jiang Huan had to go for the appointment, before Jiang Huan set-off, he asked Lv He to wait for his return and Lv He shyly nodded her head and then, sent off her husband to the door way.

By the time Jiang Huan reached the Peak of Eastern Mountain, it was already Midnight. Due to it was a Moon-less night, the whole place was dark and eerie. Just as Jiang Huan was about to light a torch to brighten the place, Yao Xian arrived at the Peak with a group of Soldiers. On the hand of the Soldiers, all of them were carrying Bows & Arrows and each Arrow was ready to be released out. Looking at the scene, Jiang Huan was shocked and frightened and immediately, he shouted out to question on Yao Xian of what had happened.

Just as Jiang Huan was about to walk towards Yao Xian, Yao Xian sent out a signal for the releasing of Arrows, hundreds of Arrows were being shot onto the body of Jiang Huan. Pitifully, Jiang Huan was being killed innocently.

After Jiang Huan’s death, Yao Xian did not plan to give up. Soon after burying Jiang Huan’s body, Yao Xian brought a troop of Soldiers back to Jiang Huan’s Home to ransack his Home for Wealthy belongings. Just as Yao Xian arrived at the House, he saw Lv He was there waiting for Jiang Huan’s returning.

With lust, Yao Xian wanted to bully Lv He on the spot, but due to there were too many Soldiers following him, he suppressed his lust and approached Lv He telling her a lie that Jiang Huan was waiting at a Hut specially built for the 2 of them on the Peak of Eastern Mountain.

Upon hearing that, Lv He was amazed & delighted, hoping that she could set off now to the Peak of Eastern Mountain to meet up with Jiang Huan. Knowing that Lv He had fall into his trap, Yao Xian order a Sedan-chair to send Lv He up to the Peak of Eastern Mountain. After Lv He left the house, Yao Xian ordered the other Soldiers to kill all the Members of Jiang Family without mercy. Over a night, 50 plus Members of Jiang Family were being killed.

On the way up to the Peak of Eastern Mountain, Lv He dozed off on the Sedan-chair, just as she entered into the sleeping-state, Jiang Huan appeared in her dream with ugly & bloody face. Lv He was scared and wanted to shout out, just at the moment, Lv He woke up.

As the Sedan-chair slowly approaching the Peak, Cold & Strong wind started to blow. Just at the moment of reaching the Peak, a Strong Gust of Typhoon appeared in front of Lv He & Yao Xian. In the Typhoon, Lv He could clearly see her husband face, eyes staring hard at Yao Xian and mouth mumbling that he had died tragically.

Lv He couldn’t believed her eyes and just as Lv He was about to run towards the Typhoon to take a closer look, Yao Xian hugged her tightly from the back and started to tear off her clothing and skirt.

Lv He was shocked and started to fight back. Just as she was fighting back, Lv He got hold of Yao Xian’s small dagger from his pouch. Immediately, she took it out and pointed at Yao Xian, warning him for not coming near.

With nasty lust, Yao Xian neglected the warning and continued walking towards Lv He. Lv He was upset and with a strong cut, she cut open her Arm, allowing the Blood to flow out from her arm. While the Blood was flowing out, she dug her bone out and threw them onto the floor, showing her dignity for protecting her pureness for her husband and also to request her husband Jiang Huan to appear and assist her in getting rid of the rascal.

Just as the bone dropped onto the ground, the Typhoon got stronger and with a loud bang sound, Yao Xian was being sucked into the Typhoon and thrown onto the Cliff-wall of the Mountain. Yao Xian was killed.

After Yao Xian was killed, the Typhoon stopped and the sky slowly turned pale. By the time the Sky turn white, Lv He was found die on the Peak of Eastern Mountain.

On the moment of Lv He’s died, 2 bright rays shined upon her and a pile of soil besides her. The 2 rays led the Spirits of Jiang Huan & Lv He into the Re-incarnation Tunnel for the 3rd re-incarnation of them.

Jiang Huan & Lv He, not able to get together in their Second Generation, but the Love that they got was Truly Sincere & Faithful.

A Poem was being left on the Peak for Praising the Dignity of Love for the 2 of them:

真情不怕紅火煉。(translated as True Love doesnt afraid of True Testing)

明志尋夫挖骨情。(translated as With Dignity, carving of Bones to show the Innocent & Pureness)

英年早逝天註定。(translated as Dying Young was already pre-designated)

十世情緣堅如金。(translated as Overcoming ALL the Testing, the Love will be more Firm & True)

In-order not to reveal the True Identity of the Real People involved, the Names of the Characters will be changed. These stories are extracted from Master Jave Wu Multiply blog. http://javewu.multiply.com/

Here it goes, starting from the First Generation of the Continuous Love…

On the Day of Pan Gu opened the Heaven & Earth (盤古開天地), a gust of Green Energy (青氣) was being released out from the Gap of the Crack. After being emitted out, the Green Energy floated to the Celestial Realm (仙界) and settled in the Celestial Mountain known as Mountain Qing Xuan (青玄山). This is a Mountain that Mother Empress of Western Paradise (瑤池金母) used to perform her Cultivation.

After Thousand of Years, this Green Energy was able to transform itself into Being-form and with the assistance of the Lord Qing Xuan (青玄老人owner of Mountain Qing Xuan), the Green Energy manifested itself into a Lady-form.

Upon returning her Gratitude to Lord Qing Xuan, the Green Energy decided to seek Training under Lord Qing Xuan and with his approval, Green Energy was being accepted and given a Name of Fairy Qing Xuan (青玄玄女).

On the Day of Mother Empress of Western Paradise Manifestation Anniversary (瑤池金母華誕), Lord Qing Xuan & Fairy Qing Xuan were being invited to join in the Celestial Party. Upon arriving at the Party, Lord Qing Xuan & Fairy Qing Xuan were being welcomed by the Heavenly Guardian of Celestial Pond (瑤池天將), this Heavenly Guardian was known as Heavenly Marshal Jin (金天君).

With first glance, Marshal Jin was deeply attracted by Fairy Qing Xuan and so, while Lord Qing Xuan & Fairy Qing Xuan entered into the Party without putting on a Flower to indicate that they were Important Guests, Marshal Jin also didn’t realised about it.

Inside the Party Compound, beautiful flowers could be seen, such as Golden Peony (金牡丹), Rainbow Lotus (七色蓮), Crystal Plum-blossom (水晶梅), etc. Besides that, Celestial Music (天音) could be heard and Immortal Cranes (仙鶴) were there to spread Fragrance Petals onto every Immortals & Deities.

Just as Fairy Qing Xuan was about to step onto the Platform of where Mother Empress was sitting, she was being stopped by another Heavenly Marshal, known as Heavenly Guardian of Jade Platform (瑤台天將) or Heavenly Marshal Xian (冼天君).

Due to this was the first time that Fairy Qing Xuan participating in the Celestial Party, she was frightened by the reaction of Heavenly Marshal Xian and immediately, she dashed off from the Platform and ran towards the Phoenix Pavilion (鳳凰亭) that situated besides the Main Entrance of the Celestial Pond.

Just as Fairy Qing Xuan entered into the Pavilion, Heavenly Marshal Jin was there to usher in the Heavenly Lords. While realising that Fairy Qing Xuan was being frightened, Heavenly Marshal Jin went forward to offer his assistance and upon reaching the Pavilion, Fairy Qing Xuan was shocked to see another Heavenly Marshal, so just as in time when Heavenly Marshal Jin opened his mouth to say something, Fairy Qing Xuan’s tears roll off from her eyes.

Seeing that Fairy Qing Xuan was crying, Heavenly Marshal Jin was totally in a shocked state of don’t know what to do, and so, he went forward to use his Sleeve to wipe off Fairy Qing Xuan’s tears. Just as in time, Lord Qing Xuan entered into the Pavilion, knowing that this was a Fate that both of them had, Lord Qing Xuan had to shake his head and walked out of the Pavilion again.

Slowly, Fairy Qing Xuan returned to her calm state and realising that Heavenly Marshal Jin had assist her in wiping the tears, she felt grateful and this time round, looking up at Heavenly Marshal Jin’s face, Fairy Qing Xuan suddenly had the feeling of a rush in her Mind and immediately, her face blushed with Rosy-pink.

With the Blushed face that Fairy Qing Xuan and the innocently reaction that Fairy Qing Xuan got, Heavenly Marshal Jin was extremely deeply fall in love with Fairy Qing Xuan. Just as Heavenly Marshal Jin was about to talk to her, Heavenly Marshal Xian arrived.

Suspecting that Fairy Qing Xuan had sneaked into the Celestial Party, Heavenly Marshal Xian released out his Spiritual Rope and wanting to capture Fairy Qing Xuan for locking up. Upon seeing that Heavenly Marshal Xian wanted to capture Fairy Qing Xuan for no reason, Heavenly Marshal Jin stepped out to speak-up for her. Due to both of the Heavenly Marshals had already had some Internal Conflict among each other, this time round, Heavenly Marshal Xian took this opportunity to fight with Heavenly Marshal Jin. Soon, the fighting got into a serious state and just as Heavenly Marshal Xian was about to poke his Spear onto Heavenly Marshal Jin’s arm, Mother Empress arrived at the Pavilion.

Upon arriving, Mother Empress started to question on the cause of the Fighting, just as Heavenly Marshal Jin was about to speak-up, Heavenly Marshal Xian cut into the conversation and accused that Heavenly Marshal Jin had fall in love with Fairy Qing Xuan.

Looking at Fairy Qing Xuan & Heavenly Marshal Jin, Mother Empress kept quiet for awhile and summoned Lord Qing Xuan to the Pavilion. Just as Lord Qing Xuan was about to enter into the Pavilion, Lord Yue Lao (月佬星君) arrived at the Pavilion too.

Why so co-incidence that Lord Yue Lao also arrived at the Pavilion? Cos after Lord Qing Xuan saw that Heavenly Marshal Jin had somehow fall in love with Fairy Qing Xuan, he already knew that both of them would have to be punished by re-incarnate into the Mortal Realm and so, in-order for Mother Empress to lessen the punishment, Lord Qing Xuan had beg Lord Yue Lao to come forward to say some good words for them.

As Mother Empress was about to question Lord Qing Xuan, Lord Yue Lao had asked permission for speaking and knowing that there were some hidden secrets, Mother Empress allowed Lord Yue Lao to speak up.

Looking at the Heavenly Marshal Jin & Fairy Qing Xuan, Lord Yue Lao recited out a 4 sentences Poem to Mother Empress:

情結十世情。(translated as this Relationship will last for Ten Generations or Lives)
恩愛顯分明。(translated as this Love is very Straight Forward and once it starts, there are no ending)
是親亦是師。(translated as only when certain issue happen)
了結返天庭。(translated as both of them will end the relationship and return back to Heaven)

Upon hearing to the Poem, Mother Empress had somehow understand the situation and so, immediately, Mother Empress released her Edict of sending Heavenly Marshal Jin & Fairy Qing Xuan to get their Re-incarnation to the Mortal Realm. Only when they had fulfilled the Ten Generations Love, then they were be able to resume their Immortal Title.

Knowing that this was fated, Heavenly Marshal Jin was delighted but Fairy Qing Xuan felt sad, cos she had to depart with her Master Lord Qing Xuan. Looking at Fairy Qing Xuan, Lord Qing Xuan smiled at her and nodded to her, telling her to take care and everything would be fine.

Within moments, both of them were being brought to the Entrance of the Heavenly Gate and with a push from the 2 Heavenly Gate Generals, Heavenly Marshal Jin & Fairy Qing Xuan were being pushed into the Tunnel of In-carnation, from there, both of them were being brought to a Dimension where they didn’t even know where they were.
After sentencing the 2 of them, Mother Empress turned to Heavenly Marshal Xian and angrily question on him of why he engaged into a Fight due to Jealousy & Conflicts. Hearing the questioning, Heavenly Marshal Xian was shocked and immediately kowtowed to beg for forgiven, but everything was too late.

Just as Heavenly Marshal Xian was pleading for forgiveness, Mother Empress had sentenced Heavenly Marshal Xian to get his Re-incarnation into the Mortal Realm too. Upon hearing that, Heavenly Marshal Xian was totally disappointed, cos he knew that, being an Immortal was his Eternal Wish, he didn’t want to return to the Mortal Realm for suffering. And so, just as he was being pushed into the Re-incarnation Tunnel, he made a Vow to seek revenge on Heavenly Marshal Jin & Fairy Qing Xuan.

At the Pavilion, Mother Empress looked at Lord Qing Xuan & Lord Yue Lao and recited out a 4 Sentences Poem to them too:

十世情緣多艱難。(translated as Ten Generations will come with lots of Testing)
百般試驗情得嘗。(translated as Only by going thru ALL these Testing will make the Love firm)
不經一番寒入骨。(translated as With the Hardest & Cruel Testing)
那得真情顯芬芳。(translated as The Real Love will be there for the 2 of them)

Upon hearing the Poem, Lord Qing Xuan & Lord Yue Lao agreed on it and all of them proceed with the Celebration.

To be continued… …

Way of life

If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own, even though he might be a bad tempered man, he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in a boat, he will shout at him to steer clear and if the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. And all because there is somebody in the boat. Yet if the boat was empty, he would not be shouting and will not be angry.

If you can empty your own boat, crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you and no one will seek to harm you.

妻子的空位(The Irreplaceable Void)

我的妻子因為意外事故離開我身邊已經四年了，我想，妻子留下不會做任何家事的我和孩子，她的心有何等難過呢？我也因為無法兼顧父母雙親的角色而感到挫折。有一天我為了出差，清晨趕出門，無法將孩子打點好就得離開家，正巧前一天有剩下的飯，我熱了蒸蛋，向還沒有睡醒的孩子交代一聲，就出門去了。

4 years ago, an accident took my beloved away and very often I wonder, how does my wife, who is now in the heavenly realm, feel right now? She must be feeling extremely sad for leaving a husband who is incapable to taking care of the house and the kid. 'cos that is the exact feeling that I have, as I feel that I have failed to provide for the physical and emotional needs of my child, and failed to be the dad and mum for my child. There was one particular day, when I had an emergency at work. Hence, I had to leave home whilst my child was still sleeping. So thinking that there was still rice leftovers, I hastily cooked an egg and left after informing my sleepy child.

為了照顧好孩子飲食三餐的事，我也無力把自己的工作做好。有一天晚上回到家，我只是很簡短地和孩子打個招呼，就因為身體疲累，不想吃晚餐，脫掉西裝之後就直接往床上躺下。就在那個時候，砰的一聲，紅色的湯汁跟泡麵瞬時弄髒了床單和被單，原來有碗泡麵在棉被裡！這小子真是的，說時遲那時快，我即時拿起一個衣架，跑出去，往正玩著玩具的兒子的屁股就打，因為我實在是太生氣了，所以不停地打他。但就在這個時候，他邊啜泣邊說了一段話，使我停了下來。

With the double roles, I am often exhausted at work as well as when I am home. So after a long day, I came home, totally drained of all energy. So with just a brief hug and kiss for my child, I went straight into the room, skipping dinner. However, when I jumped into my bed with intention of just having a well-deserved sleep, all i heard and felt was broken porcelain and warm liquid! I flipped open my blanket, and there lies the source of the 'problem'... a broken bowl with instant noodles and a mess on the bedsheet and blanket! Boy, was I mad! I was so furious that I took a clothes hanger, charged straight at my child who was happily playing with his toy, and give him a good spanking! He merely cried but not asking for mercy, except a short explanation:

兒子告訴我說：「飯鍋裡的飯早上已經吃完了，晚餐在幼稚園吃了，但是到了晚上，爸爸還不回來，我就在櫥櫃的抽屜裡找到了泡麵。可是我想到爸爸說不能亂動瓦斯爐，所以我就打開洗澡的水龍頭，用熱水泡了泡麵，一個自己吃，另一個想留給爸爸吃。因為怕泡麵涼掉，所以我就把它放在棉被裡，等你回來。可是因為我正在玩向朋友借來的玩具，所以忘了跟爸爸講。」

"Dad, I was hungry and there wasn't anymore leftover rice. But you were not back yet, hence I wanted to cook some instant noodles. But I remembered you reminding me not to touch or use the gas stove without any adults around, hence I turned on the shower and used the hot water from the bathroom to cook the noodles. One is for you and the other is for me. However, I was afraid that the noodles will turn cold, so I hid it under the blanket to keep it warm till you return. But I forgot to remind you 'cos I was playing with my toys...I am sorry Dad..."

我不想讓兒子看到我在流淚，所以衝到洗手間，將水龍頭打開，大聲地哭。過了一陣子之後，我打起精神來，一面哄著兒子，一面也在他屁股上擦藥，讓他上床睡覺。當我清理好泡麵弄髒的床單和棉被後，打開兒子的房門一看，發現他仍舊發出哭泣聲，手裡還拿著媽媽的照片。我把頭靠在房門站了許久，看著這一幕。

At that moment, tears were starting to run down my cheeks...but I didn't want my son to see his dad crying so I dashed into the bathroom and cried with the shower head on to mask my cries. After that episode, I went towards my son to give him a tight hug and applied medication on him, while coaxing him to sleep. Then, it was time to clear up the mess on the bed. When everything was done and well past midnight, I passed my son's room, and saw that he was still crying, not from the pain on his little buttock, but from looking at the photograph of his beloved mummy.

自從在一年前發生這件事之後，我為了扮演好媽媽的角色，更加用心地去照顧他。現在兒子快七歲了，不久後就要從幼稚園畢業，進入國小讀書。慶幸的是，兒子在這段時間毫無陰影，很開朗地成長。

A year has passed since the episode, I have tried, in this period, to focus on giving him both the love of his dad and mum, and to attend to most of his needs. And soon, he is turning seven, and will be graduating from kindergarten. Fortunately, the incident did not leave a lasting impression on his childhood memories and he is still happily growing up.

就在不久前，我再一次打孩子，因為幼稚園來電話說，兒子沒有去學校，我心裡覺得很不安，所以早退回家，在整個社區裡大聲地喊他的名字，卻是遍尋不著。後來在文具店的門?f，看見他站在電玩的前面，於是我很生氣，又開始一直打他。兒子並沒有說出任何的解釋，只說了聲對不起。後來我才知道，原來剛好是幼稚園要邀請媽媽去 看才藝表演的日子。

However, not so long ago, I hit my boy again, with much regret. This time, his kindergarten teacher called, informing me of my son's absence from school. I took off early from work and went home, expecting him to explain. But he wasn't to be found, so I went around our house, calling out his name and eventually found him outside a stationery shop, happily playing computer games. I was fuming, brought him home and whack the hell out of him. He did not retaliate, except to say, 'I am sorry, Dad'. But after much probing, I realized that it was a 'Talent Show' organized by his school and the invite is for every student's mummy. And that was the reason for his absence as he has no mummy.....

發生這些事的幾天後，兒子回家說，他在幼稚園裡學了寫字，從此他經常關在自己的房間裡不出來，很認真地寫字。我看到兒子這個樣子，想到妻子在天國也一定會因為看到他這樣而微笑，我就無法忍住淚水。

Few days after the caning, my son came home to tell me, the kindergarten has recently taught him how to read and write. Since then, he has kept to himself and stayed in his room to practise his writing, which I am sure, would make my wife proud, if she was still around. 'cos he makes me proud too!

時間很快，又過了一年，到了冬天，街頭上都在播放著聖誕節的歌曲，我的兒子卻又闖了一個禍。我正要下班的時候，接到一通社區郵局的電話，說我兒子把一綑沒有寫地址的信，惡作劇地放在郵筒裡。每年到了年底，正是郵局最忙碌的時候，所以這對他們造成很大的困擾。雖然我已決定不再打孩子，但在急忙趕回家後，叫了兒子來，我又忍不住痛打他一頓。兒子這一次只是說他做錯了，卻沒有講出任何理由。我把他推到一個角落，不管了，自個兒跑到郵局領回那一綑惡作劇的信。我把信丟到他眼前說：「你為什麼要這樣惡作劇？」兒子哭著回答說：「這些信是我要寄給媽媽的。」

Time passes by very quickly, and soon another year has passed. It's winter, and its Christmas time. Everywhere the christmas spirit is in every passer-by...Christmas carols and frantic shoppers....but alas, my son got into another trouble. When I was about to knock off from the day's work, the post office called. Due to the peak season, the post master was also on an edgy mood. He called to tell me that my son has attempted to post several letters with no addressee. Although I did make a promise never to hit my son again, I couldn't help but to hit him as I feel that this child of mine is really beyond control. Once again, as before, he apologized, ' I'm sorry, Dad' and no additional reason to explain. I pushed him towards a corner, went to the post office to collect the letters with no addressee and came home, and angrily questioned my son on his prank, during this time of the year. His answer, amidst his sobbing, was : The letters were for Mummy.

當時我的眼眶紅了起來，心裡很激動，但是因為在兒子面前，所以我盡量隱忍住沒有表現出來。我接著問他：「那麼，為什麼一次寄這麼多信呢？」兒子回答說：「以前我要把信投進去的時候，因為個兒太矮，所以沒辦法投入，但是最近我再去郵筒時，已經搆得到了，所以我就把以前沒有寄的，一次全部都投進入了。」

My eyes grew teary, but I tried to control my emotions and continued to ask him: " But why did u post so many letters, at one time?" My son's reply was: " I have been writing to mummy for a long time, but each time I reach out for the post box, it was too high for me, hence I was not able to post the letters. But recently, when I went back to the postbox, I could reach it and I sent it all at once..."

我聽了以後，心中一片茫然，不知道該對孩子說什麼話。過了不久以後，我就跟他說：「媽媽現在在天上，以後你寫完信，把信燒了，就能送到天國去。」等孩子睡著之後，我到外面燒了那些信。我很好奇到底孩子想跟媽媽說些什麼，所以讀了其中的幾封信。

After hearing this, I was lost. Lost at not knowing what to do, what to say...... I told my son, " Son, mummy is in the heavenly kingdom, so in future, if you have anything to tell her, just burn the letter and it will reach mummy. My son, on hearing this, was much pacified and calm, and soon after, he was sleeping soundly. On promising that I will burn the letters on his behalf, I brought the letters outside, but couldnt help opening the letter before they turn to ash.

而當中有一封信攪動了我的心。 And one of the letters broke my heart.... 親愛的媽媽： 我很想念你！媽媽，今天在幼稚園有才藝表演，但是因為我沒有媽媽，所以沒有去參加，我也沒有告訴爸爸，怕爸爸會想念媽媽。爸爸到處去找我，但我為了讓爸爸看到我很開心的樣子，所以故意坐在電動玩具面前，雖然爸爸罵我，但是我到最後也沒有告訴他原因。媽媽，我每天都看到爸爸因為想念媽媽而哭泣，我想爸爸也跟我一樣，很想念媽媽吧！但是，媽，我現在已經記不清楚你的臉。媽媽，請你讓我在夢中，再一次能夠看到你的臉，好嗎？聽說把想念的人的照片放在懷裡睡覺，就會夢到那個人。可是，媽媽，為什麼你沒有出現在我的夢裡呢？」

Dear Mummy, I miss you so much! Today, there was a 'Talent Show' in school, and the school invited all mothers for the show. But you are not around, so I did not want to participate as well. I did not tell Dad about it as I was afraid that Dad would start to cry and miss you all over again. Dad went around looking for me, but in order to hide my sadness, I sat in front of the computer and started playing games at one of the shops. Dad was furious, and he couldnt help it but scolded and hit me, but I did not tell him the real reason. Mummy, everyday I see Dad missing you and whenever he think of you, he is so sad and often hide and cry in his room. I think we both miss you very very much. Too much for our own good I think. But Mummy, I am starting to forget your face. Can you please appear in my dreams so that I can see your face and remember you? I heard that if you fall asleep with the photograph of the person whom you miss, you will see the person in your dreams. But mummy, why havent you appear?

讀完這封信以後，我就開始嚎啕大哭。到底什麼時候，我才能填補妻子的空位呢？ After reading the letter, I cant stop sobbing. 'cos I can never replace the irreplaceable gap left behind by my wife....
