The first time Sheng Jie heard of her older brother was at his graveyard. It was Tomb Sweeping Day, 2010.
"We went to honor my grandpa," Sheng said. "I was 16 that year, in my second year of high school. In the past, when my parents went to sweep my grandpa's tomb every year, they never allowed me to go. That year was the first time my father took me to the graveyard."
At the cemetery, Sheng saw a photo of her older brother on a tombstone. Her father then asked her to sit down by the tombstone, where he proceeded to slowly tell her about the boy's story.
