She kept writing letters to Chang’s father who had returned to the United States and hoped he would take them away. However, her letter was always returned. In the process of growing up, he was discriminated against because of his mixed-race status. In the end, he killed his mother’s lover and cut his mother because his mother engraved his father’s name on his chest. After the death of Chang Kingdom, Chang’s father wrote a letter, but the letter no longer makes any sense for Chang’s mother. She set fire to the car room she lived in. The wind-blown letter was picked up by another young soldier in the field. The American man who was reading the letter repeated the old story with a young Korean girl, Silver Jade. Chang’s friends Zhixin love silver, but he was unable to treat silver eye injuries, but also can not provide a way out. The U.S. soldiers hurt Yin Yu and Zhi Xin shot him in an arrow and went to jail. Silver jade blind eyes came back to him. This is the experience of the younger generation in the 1970s.
