——Memories of the Past——
The Chu family had a tradition of taking a family portrait on New Year's Eve. Before Chu Zhao turned seven, she had been raised away from home, so naturally, she never had the chance to be in one.
After she was brought back at age seven, and with the New Year approaching, Chu Zhao heard about this custom from the butler. A family portrait, he told her, captured the happiest moments of a family; it was a memento of their time together, the most precious kind of memory, something worth treasuring for a lifetime.
