Having known Master Hong for so long, this was the first time I had ever heard him utter a vulgarity like "motherfucker." Could it be that he held very strong opinions about the so-called younger generation?
I had no clear idea, nor did I even know who among those present counted as the younger generation. The male and female hosts certainly did, and Xue Shisi definitely did too, but whether the Stubborn Donkey qualified was anyone's guess, and I hadn't looked closely enough to tell who else might be included.
Master Hong offered a few parting instructions, telling me not to forget the four o'clock appointment and explaining that he and the others had some matters to attend to and wouldn't be able to look after me.
