Perhaps she'll see the person she wants to see once she falls asleep.
Unfortunately, she did not get her wish.
When she was shaken awake, she saw her father's anxious face and a group of strangers.
They all said the baby in her arms had a bluish-purple face, as if it had frozen to death, and that it should be buried on the spot.
She wouldn't listen; she'd bite anyone who tried.
...
When she opened her eyes again, she saw her father holding her newborn baby and feeding it goat milk little by little.
The father needs to name the child.

In February of 1964 (lunar calendar), Mu Jingsheng found Ye Xia, who was begging on the street and acting insane. He was filled with remorse and frantically searched for the child she had given birth to, but to no avail.
