  62. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
  63. What’s next onyour reading list?

Then I am stepping away while Xifeng is finding projector and plugging hard drive into it. Suddenly whole room is filling with blue light, and in the center of the room is a young man and he is wearing soldier’s coat, but it is open and loose on his shoulders. He is eating yams on a plate and he is being with other soldiers like him, relaxing under tent, and I am hearing them speaking and telling joke on each other and laughing with mouth full. Then I am seeing all of the soldiers facing commander and looking to right and seeing soldier and looking to the left and seeing soldier, and I am seeing commander giving them commands and saying they should be proud of what they are doing, and commander is putting hand on person’s shoulder so it is looking like he is putting hand on our shoulder and he is pinning medal onto person’s chest.

Old woman in the room we are standing in is moving. Small small. So small I am not knowing that Xifeng is seeing, but old woman moves and small small river is running from her eyes. I am thinking that maybe the remembering is belonging to her grandson.

There is another part of the remembering. We are seeing from the person’s eyes that they are piloting mech and zoom zooming through the air, and there is much shouting and katakata, then explosion and static and nothing.

The remembering stops, and the room is being like night again.

The man with dandelion beard is being quiet for long time and water is coming from his eye too, and then he is telling Xifeng thank you in small small voice, and then he is hugging her and he is making hand sign to old woman, who is slow slow turning to Xifeng and smile is crossing her lips.

My head is beeping, and I am seeing with small Enyemaka’s eyes that boat is disturbing the water outside. Police.

“We must go,” I am warning Xifeng in quiet voice. I am speaking in Xifeng’s language so that man and older woman who is smiling through the water on her face are not understanding what we are saying.

Xifeng is wanting to linger and spend more time with family but I am pulling her through door and wishing I am having pistol with me. But Xifeng is telling me that it is bad for me to be walking with gun on me, even though I am telling her it is to protect her and I am not bad person.

We are leaving the home, and I am careful not to just throw Xifeng into water. She is picking up small Enyemaka and holding her in her arms, and I am looking down to see that boatman who bring us here is gone. He is leaving with all of our money.
