Joy of Life
A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants. Thanks to one small act of kindness, by providence she comes across a grateful friend; Fortunate that her mother, has done an unperceived good deed…. Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor… Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road? Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom. Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost, a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning. Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.

The Dongyi matter was still complicated and sensitive. Suddenly becoming subjects of the Qing Kingdom was not something everyone could accept. Merchants did harked after personal interest, and prostitutes were heartless. Even people in commerce and the brothels couldn't wrap their heads around the change immediately. It was not the same as doing business in which one would rather trade with a stranger rather than a friend to better rip them off. When it came to the power of controlling one's life and death, that power was better off in the hands of a friend. It was also different to brothels taking in clients. Did they want one woman to be tasted by tens of thousands of people? The girls all hoped they would eventually be released from the profession.
