we visit the zhazidong and baigongguan concentration camps.
there is an exhibit of a father's letter to his sons and his letter to his wife. i am happy to hear about your school results, he tells his sons. i have hardly seen you and already you have grown. the times are difficult but they shall improve. the letter is brief and his words are large-ish, the better for young eyes to read. to his wife he writes, i have received your letter, and the money you sent. his words are cramped and the letter is long and urgent.
i think to myself that the men who die for a cause have women who needs must live so their men may die.
