    Summary

    "I knew it", he gasps, "not a murderer but a psycho nonetheless. Do you harass all your delivery boys late at night in your office?"

    "Not really", He Tian replies, unphased by Mo's weak attempt to push him away. "I'll make an exception just for you."

    "Lucky me", Mo snaps back sarcastically.

    Summary

    Guan Shan's father leaves his family for work in New York at the beginning of the First World War — and is never heard from again.

    In the autumn of 1928, thirteen years later, Guan Shan makes his own way to lower Manhattan's Little China to find him, with only the name of the man who signed his father's contract.

    When he finds himself falling into the world of America's Roaring Twenties and Tong Wars, and everyone he meets is not quite as they seem, finding his father turns out to be much more complicated than he’d thought.

    Summary

    They look at each other for a long moment; long enough to make He Tian regret poking a bear he’s only just discovered. There’s a strange anticipation in the air as if Guan Shan is waiting for him to push them off a precipice and into a familiar chasm, but it wouldn't be worth it.

    They haven’t fought for weeks. And they did, for all intents and purposes, have an objectively good evening together. He Tian is on track to upheave all of that over a single word.

    It’s warranted, a voice inside him says, quickly followed by: It’s selfish.

    Summary

    It couldn’t have meant so little, stardust in the face of planets. It couldn’t have meant so little because, if it did, Guan Shan would no longer be able to recognize himself as the person he became in the aftermath.

    He’d be hollowed out, stripped of the lessons learned and the changed perspectives like loose threads on a tapestry being pulled apart. He couldn’t bear the thought that all of this — the fighting, the understanding, the falling, the loss, the violent and unceremonious unearthing — had been for nothing.

    It was too painful to have been for nothing.

     

    or: seven years later, he tian and jian yi return home. everyone has some healing to do.
