The men and women, young and old of Shuangshan Brigade listened with rapt attention.
Several youths who had clearly come from the big city found themselves immersed in Lin Tang's narration as if the road they had travelled unfolded before them like a series of paintings.
A sense of homesickness welled up in their hearts involuntarily.
They wondered how everything was back home?!
Lin Tang was unaware of the youths' thoughts; all her focus was on storytelling.
From time to time, she pulled out a photo and passed it around for everyone to see.
The scene was incredibly lively.
When Lin Tang spoke of the humiliation and disdain they had faced from those who had it easy, everyone's hearts were in their throats, faces flushed with indignation.
But when she mentioned the likes of Yamamoto losing face and returning to their country with dusty countenances, a wave of satisfaction spread across their faces.
It was enough to make a set of emoticons.
