One morning, sunlight filtered through the cracks in the curtains and onto the old-fashioned dining table at Mr. Chen's house. He, a long-time retired worker, prepares breakfast for his wife for the two of them, as usual.
Freshly cooked porridge and a few simple side dishes are placed on the table, and the aroma fills the room. This scene is their ordinary but full of warm daily lifeA peaceful and happy portrayal of an ordinary family.
Suddenly, the ringing broke the silence. Mr. Chen picked it up, his face instantly turned pale, and the news from the other end was like a bolt from the blueHis wife accidentally fell in the market, and the first aid was ineffective and passed away.
