Seven hundred miles north of Ningbo, on a lonely stretch of the
Rongwu Expressway, Cherry noticed someone sitting
in the backseat and started screaming.
Weng glanced quickly, expecting to see Mr. Yi’s father,
but instead it was the face of a man he didn’t know,
wearing a sad, vacant expression.
Cherry was so hysterical, Weng had to pull
to the side of the road.
When the car stopped, she flung open the door
and ran into the middle of a field.
