“
Dad, have you seen Uncle Qin?” I interrupted. “He was just here a moment ago…”
“
Uncle who?” Dad was a bit annoyed.
“
Uncle Qin, your friend who is in the construction business!” I persisted.
“
You mean Qin Shihuang! Oh, I haven’t met him for quite a while. Someone told me that he was in an
accident while he was travelling on the Great Wall.” Dad replied with a sense of unconcern.
I shivered. I was speechless and then my heart was pounding incessantly. I felt the gust of wind blowing
from the north and the tranquillity that steadily settled. Was it a revelation? I was unable to confirm.
