Danqing, I have to ask you a little something. Is it okay for us to do this?

Often when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep, I get very concerned. Honestly, Xiaoqing is a lot different from you when you were little. Maybe it's because we're too doting and compromising that she's somehow a bit spoiled. In reality I'm very worried, because I suspect she thinks those strange things we say are a total lie. Look. Why doesn't she ask any details? Why won't she ask to see you, give you a call or something like that? She's just pretending to believe it, and that's why she won't express doubts. I can actually figure it out when a child is overacting, and I'm sure she doesn't believe us. She's just coyly awaiting our surrender and a confession of the truth. Behold how cruel it is…

Sometimes I really don't know if she ever has any genuine feelings for us. Often when I see your mother toiling to the point her hair frizzes up and her face gets all dirty-all for Xiaoqing-I often make a point to tell Xiaoqing: Hey, in the future you should work hard to honor your mother and repay her for all she's done for you. See what she's doing now?…

She'd always start chortling, Oh, don't you see how little I am? How could I ever repay her? Fortunately we have Big Brother Danqing, don't we? It seems like a joke yet also like some kind of devious test. She keeps an eye on me as she says it, almost as if to insist, Show me Big Brother Danqing. Where is he? Tell me now. Where in the world is he?…

Aye. Xiaoqing is so callow, and I'm getting older as the days go by. What can I do about it? The older I get, the dumber I am, and I'm always getting clumsy and losing things. Every time I'm out and need to cross the street, and my feet start feeling unresponsive. I see the cars flying by, and I hesitate time and time again. Someone needs to be close to me, otherwise I couldn't do it…Every time this happens I get to wishing hard that life were just a nightmare and that I could wake up and discover you're alive and well. You'd be looking so strong. You'd have a good job outside of school, and you'd be working with pride. You'd be by my side helping me cross the street. You'd take me in a taxi to a restaurant, order soft and easily-digestible food, and let me live out my golden years…Furthermore, you'd surely help us buy a home computer and tell us in detail about these fancy machines that everyone can use…

Why do I suddenly mention computers? Aye, it's pathetic, but Danqing, you have no idea how afraid I am of those things. It seems as if they got popular yesterday. The newspapers say things like there were
