“The woman who just left was a guest I specially invited. She is from our Shouning Town. Don’t judge her by her ordinary look or her plain outfi t. She was poor, but not anymore. Her upstart son owns several houses in Beijing. Last year, when his father died, many flamboyant cars paraded along the famous Chang’an Street. You can always buy a new phone. But you cannot always buy a new connection. How sorry I am about the woman and how I’ve lost my face!”
