Mother in the Red Years [Muqin was a landlord's wife]

I have never seen Muqin, in my memory, she is a complete blank. Although this blank did not prevent me from growing into a robust man, it is somewhat regrettable. When I was very young, I once asked Fuqin about Muqin. Fuqin said Muqin was dead, and that was all he had to say about her. Every subsequent answer was just a repetition of this statement. Yet, his words did not quench my curiosity about Muqin. No matter how resolutely she had left us, it could not stop me from missing her. After all, I was born, wasn't I?
