Wang lost a son in the earthquake. Though the mass grave of victims is not far away, Wang did not visit it in the first years after the earthquake, because she could not bring herself to see him buried there. The daughter brings joys to the mother and neighbors. Wang likes to take the daughter with her even at work.
