Guangyi my son:
Receiving this letter is like meeting you in person.
Your mother has been gone for fourteen years now.
Over these years, the rift between us, father and son, has grown ever deeper.
Your father has always wanted to have a talk with you.
But I could never find the right opportunity.
I'm sorry, my son.
For my own selfish reasons, I have caused you a lot of grievances.
I should not have changed your college entrance examination preferences.
All these years, I have been filled with regret.
This is a mistake a father made that can never be forgiven.
That is the truth. I don't want to hide it, nor can I dress it up.
Whenever I think of it, I always ask myself.

That's why, even when I had the chance to see you, I couldn't bring myself to speak up.
That night, in Changqiao Village.
