In the 1942 Henan drought famine, 16-year-old Lin Wansui fled with her young brother, so hungry that she stole a steamed bun from Gu Zhao, a soldier by the road. To her surprise, this “fierce” man, seeing her brother huddled in her arms, gave her his entire bag of buns plus a warm silver dollar. Later, Gu went missing on an underground communist mission, and Lin was sold as a child bride—she ran back to their meeting spot every time she escaped. Five years later, she found Gu in Xuzhou Wharf, his leg broken, still holding the frayed cloth bag—inside was a half-bun wrapped in wax paper for five years. “I wanted to find you after the mission,” Gu traced the bun’s lines, “but this half-bun turned out harder to keep than facing bullets.”
