Snow Falling in Spring by Ming Li — Read

BABA WAS SENT BACK, AND ANOTHER YEAR PASSED BEFORE HE WAS GRANTED A SECOND TEMPORARY RELEASE FROM THE LABOR CAMP. DURING THIS visit, in the province of Hunan, where our ancestors once lived, a sensational archaeological discovery was made.

In the spring of 1972, at the construction site of a hospital in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, the workers accidentally struck a large hidden tomb. As archaeologists rushed to the site, they unearthed a four-layered sarcophagus. The wooden coffins were covered with masterful oil paintings, their colors intact. The second layer was the most breathtaking, depicting a celestial scene with more than a hundred legendary fairies and animals floating amid white clouds.
