The Yan family had three sons. Brother Yan, living up to Grandfather Yan’s expectations, had joined the ministry to carve out a career; though only twenty-eight, he already held the rank of regimental commander.
The second brother disliked the life of the ministry. His lifelong ambition had been to become a doctor and save lives, and he now worked at the Municipal Military Hospital. He was a very busy man; he had been on night shift the previous evening, performing four surgeries. After resting for the morning and eating lunch, he stayed a while before rushing back to the hospital.
Yanhui was the youngest, the son Father Yan had hoped would one day succeed him. However, just as Yanhui graduated from high school, before Father Yan could make a move to place him into the system, the Yan family became a target. With his two older brothers already employed, Father Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and send his youngest son to the countryside as an educated youth, serving as a model for national policy.
