Uncle Yun made some sense of it, "Mom, are you saying that I have an aunt who is less than ten years older than us?"
Grandma Yun nodded, "Yes, you also have a great uncle abroad who's probably gone now."
The uncle overseas was Mom's youngest brother. At that time, there were no upheavals, and countries exchanged pleasantries. The uncle wanted to go abroad to see the world and later wrote that he would not return to China for the time being.
"I never imagined that I could see my little aunt before dying; now I have no regrets."
"Mom, don't you want to talk more with your little aunt? Maybe you could even see your other siblings."
Uncle Yun also knew that his mom felt she was now an immobile burden to the younger ones.
But if it hadn't been for her insistence that they study, could any of them have achieved what they have today?
Uncle Yun was now semi-retired but still the second-in-command in this city.
