PrologueIn the small town of Yunbian, there was a small store called "Wu's Grocery." It was located on the edge of the town, facing the misty mountains and overlooking the clear stream that flowed nearby. The store was run by an old couple, Wu and his wife, and was their source of livelihood for many years.Chapter 1Wu was a quiet and laconic old man. He had a wrinkled face and a bald head, but his eyes were sharp and intelligent. He woke up every day at five in the morning and prepared the store for opening. His wife would also get up early to help him tidy up and prepare breakfast.The store was open all day long, from five in the morning until midnight. In the daytime, Wu would sit behind the counter and chat with the regular customers who came to buy their daily necessities. His wife would go out to tend to the vegetables and fruits outside the store, or cook a meal for Wu when he was busy.Chapter 2One day, a stranger came to the store. He introduced himself as a tourist passing through the town and was immediately captivated by the charm of the small store. The stranger was tall and thin, with a pair of glasses that gave him a scholarly appearance. He seemed to be about the same age as Wu, but had a livelier spirit.The stranger bought a few things at the store and chatted with Wu for a while. He found out that Wu loved reading poetry and writing calligraphy, and happened to have a mutual friend in common, a writer named Liu Xiaoyang. Wu was surprised to hear this and couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity with the stranger.Chapter 3Gradually, the stranger became a regular customer at Wu's Grocery. He would often stay for a long time, chatting with Wu about poetry, calligraphy, and literature. Wu found himself increasingly attracted to this learned stranger and looked forward to his visits.One day, during their usual chat, the stranger suddenly said he wanted to stay in Yunbian for a while and asked if he could rent a room from Wu. Wu agreed immediately and converted one of the rooms in his store into a guest room. From then on, the stranger became a member of their family.Chapter 4The stranger lived in Yunbian for three months. During that time, he helped Wu improve the store, brought in more goods that were popular with the customers, and even helped Wu promote his goods by writing calligraphy and poetry. Wu's Grocery gradually became more prosperous under their joint efforts.The stranger was also an avid reader and writer. He loved reading all kinds of books, from classics to novels, poetry to philosophy. He wrote in his room every day and often shared his works with Wu. Wu was deeply impressed by his profound knowledge and excellent writing skills and felt himself becoming more and more attached to this learned stranger.Chapter 5One day, the stranger suddenly said he had to leave Yunbian because he had some important matters to attend to in the city. Wu and his wife were saddened by his departure but understood his decision. Before he left, the stranger wrote a poem in Wu's notebook and dedicated it to the couple as a token of remembrance.After the stranger left, Wu often thought of him and missed their past chats and discussions. He often looked at the notebook where he had written the poem and felt that their friendship was as fleeting as a cloud drifting past the mountaintop. The notebook became Wu's most precious possession after his wife passed away many years later.Chapter 6Wu died peacefully at the age of ninety. Before he passed away, he asked his nephew to send a letter to someone far away who was also named Liu Xiaoyang, hoping that they would be able to meet before he left this world. Unknown to both Wu and his nephew, they had already been missed for half a century by that learned stranger who had passed through their lives long ago.Liu Xiaoyang received Wu's letter but couldn't go to Yunbian immediately because he was already advanced in age and had been restricted by illness from traveling long distances. However, he immediately wrote back to Wu's nephew with memories of his past stay in Yunbian and expressed his condolences on Wu's passing away. He enclosed a poem he composed in memory of their past encounter at Wu's Grocery: "A cloud drifting over Mount Taihi is as fleeting as life; our meeting at old Master Wu's Grocery will forever remain in memory."
