Mom got home from work that evening looking nervous.
She whispered to Dad and Grandma, and as soon as we
finished dinner, she told us to go outside and play.
"We have something to take care of," she said. I knew this
had something to do with the Cultural Revolution. I
wished she would just say so. We were too old to be
fooled like little children. But I didn't say anything and
went outside with the others.
When it was nearly dark, Ji-yun and I went back
home, leaving Ji-yong with his friends. As we
entered the apartment, I smelled smoke, acrid and
choking. I looked around in alarm. But Grandma
was sitting alone in the main room, showing no
sign of worry.
"Grandma, is there a fire?" we shouted anxiously.
"Don't you smell the smoke?"
