On the third morning after Jiang Hongjun’s death, his parents arrived at the Lanshan Production Brigade after a long and weary journey. Their first stop was the place where Jiang Hongjun’s body was being kept.
Because the weather had turned cold, the body had not yet begun to decompose. When the couple saw their son’s final expression, they were overcome with raw, heart-wrenching grief.
