The Second Wave of Humiliation

There was also a several-minute video showing a slender, little girl sitting in front of a piano. Her flaming red rubber band created a stark contrast to her ebony hair, which was tied up in a ponytail. She was dressed exactly the same as she was now: black sweatshirt and pants. Her duckbill cap lay atop the piano. Her features were strikingly beautiful with hints of youthfulness showing on her face. Everyone could easily tell that the girl was Gu Mang. A thirteen-year-old Gu Mang!

Standing next to the piano was a man with well-defined features, and a gentle, elegant disposition. Even though the two of them bore some similarities to each other, the ways they carried themselves were very different. Gu Mang seemed rather aloof and impatient. Her thirteen-year-old self was clearly even more arrogant and untamed than she was today. In the video, she asked, "Must the piano be played in such a soft and gentle manner? How boring."
