Forty years later, you're too old to walk much, so you resign from your position as a private tutor and start taking care of your grandson at home.

Forty-five years later, your son became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and the whole family moved to the capital.

He wanted to take you and your wife with him, but you refused without much thought, and your daughter married into a wealthy family far away.

Forty-six years later, you and your wife, Hu Qingshuang, decided to see the world more clearly. You traveled to many places and gained many new insights.

Fifty years later, you returned to the town. When you first arrived, everyone who was about your age had already died.

You can vaguely see their shadows in their descendants, a reminder that ultimately, it's difficult for people to escape the passage of time.

Fifty-five years later, you will be too old to move and will spend most of your time in your own backyard.

Your children will often write back to you, and your former students will also come to visit you.

You could say you've witnessed their lives, watching them grow from childhood to adulthood, and gradually enter middle age, their hair now streaked with gray.

Sixty years later, you reached the end of your life and lay in a coffin, where your wife, Hu Qingshuang, continued to weep.

Your son and daughter, no longer young, have come to pay their respects.

No one can escape the passage of time; you, a mere mortal, will eventually grow old and die.

When you were being buried, the people of Huangfeng Valley came, and they shouted that the old ancestor's eyes were all red.

As you experience all of this from your coffin, you want to offer a word of comfort to your wife and children, and to everyone in Yellow Maple Valley.

But you are already dead, and no matter how loudly they shout, they cannot hear your voice.

In the end, you gave up struggling, because the distance between life and death had completely separated you.

After the funeral, everyone slowly left.

Hu Qingshuang was the last to leave; she had regained her true appearance and seemed never to have aged.

She cried for a while longer before steeling herself and leaving your grave.
