In the early morning in the United Kingdom, Su Nian didn't rise too early, the snow kept falling outside the window, yet it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for the Chinese New Year.
Outside the window, on the open ground, one could see Chinese people performing lion dances and playing with dragons, creating a lively festive atmosphere.
Among the crowd, the figures of her own children could be spotted.
But Su Nian simply leaned against the window, lost in a daze, unable to resist thinking about that man back in China.
