b'The photo was taken during my grandmothers 90th birthday celebration, with her two sons and their wives (my parents and Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi).My grandmother was an extraordinary woman. Born in 1889 into a progressive family, she had the rare opportunity, especially for a woman of her time, to learn to read and write. She endured the loss of her youngest child, became a widow at a young age, and later faced the heartbreak of losing her second son, who died in a Communist prison. Even in her seventies, she underwent kidney removal surgery. Yet, in my memories, she always greeted everyone with a warm smile, never losing her temper. She embraced life with optimism and grace and passed away peacefully at the age of 93.84'
