In these helpless days, Ying is forced to take care of herself. Ying's neighbor, May, is a well-off, carefree girl who is being enthusiastically wooed by her boyfriend. May sympathizes with Ying's circumstances and brings her home to look after her. However, May discovers that it was her careless mistake that had caused the loss of Ying's mother. The remorseful May agonizes over the discovery and begins taking greater care of Ying. As their bond grows, Ying is adopted by her mother's friend. This departure leaves May empty and disheartened. Fifteen years later, the grown-up Ying returns to search for May, but May has long since left the neighborhood. However, in Ying's heart, she will never forget May's care and warmth during her most difficult days. Written by Sophie Song See less
