Xu Ping had once found a litter of kittens abandoned by their mother in a rumpled cardboard box on the brink of starving. He brought them home and tried to feed them congee, but the kittens wouldn’t eat it and only kept mewling.
He held each of them dear in his arms and petted them affectionately.
However, his dad threw the three pitiful creatures out when he came home from work that night, regardless how much Xu Ping pleaded.
