”I've been advocating unity for a few years, not sectarian division. No one can do a good job if they're ganging up.

When Chun Ming heard Zi Peng's words, he was deeply moved. He poured another cup of water for Zi Peng, then said,

”It is because of your righteousness that we are able to unite and accomplish our tasks together.”

After talking to Chun Ming for a while, Zi Peng handed over the Party work to Secretary of Branch Deng Chunming …

On October 29, the weather was gloomy, with a light drizzle. The northwest wind was very cold, and the temperature was close to zero.

In such vile weather, Zi Peng and Li Xia met at their usual place in New Station at 9: 30 in the morning.

Today was an unusual day, a memorable day. On October 29, 1989, he and she first stayed in an inn in the Fast Town. It was the first time he and she had ever lived together, from knowing each other; from feeling each other's feelings to feeling each other. This feeling was beautiful, happy, intoxicated, and ecstatic for him and her. Three years later, today was October 29. So he and she had come together again in memory of this extraordinary day; in memory of this most memorable day of his and her life; in memory of the moment when they had spent a night together in the inn.

Today's weather was very bad. It had started to drizzle, but now it was drizzling again. Setting obstacles to his date with her; adding annoyance and inconvenience to his date with her.

Zi Peng and Lixia were walking on the embankment that led to Changbai Mountain Theater for ten miles, and they were whispering their thoughts to each other as they walked. He said:

”Sis, how could this October 29th this year be such a bad weather? Is the heavens trying to make fun of us? ”

Lixia still held onto Zi Peng's arm, and said affectionately:

”Brother, regardless of whether the weather is good or bad, whether the heavens tease us or not, it's still a memorial.”

Zi Peng felt warm in his heart when he saw Lixia being so persistent. He held her hand and sincerely said,

”Sister is right, we should just watch a movie today. Warm up, what do you think? ”

Hearing Zipeng say that she wanted to watch a movie, Lixia was very willing to watch it. She looked at his wet clothes and said sympathetically:

”I'll listen to my brother.”

At this moment, Zi Peng recalled the weather on October 29, 89, so he said to Lixia,

”Sister, October 29th, 1989. The weather isn't too good either. The north wind is blowing and it's snowing softly. It's colder than today.”

Lixia looked at Zi Peng's expectant gaze and mumbled,

”Bro, this is probably all arranged by the heavens. It's God's punishment for both of us.”

Zi Peng had one hand on Lixia's shoulder, while the other hand held her hand. He said with infinite emotion:

”It's not a punishment, but fate is not good.”
