The language of the characters that left the deepest impression on the readers was the almost identical language of the mother and son before they died.

Mancang Niang was blind. When Mancang was a soldier, she was sick in bed. Before he left, his mother called him to the bed and touched him again and again. Then, Man Cang went to the army with every step he took. On the night of the incident in Mancang, the wind was very strong, and there was a thin layer of ice on the ground where there were puddles. It was when the cement pillar suddenly collapsed and fell on Mancang's body. According to the investigation, the pillar had been hit by a car. On the way to the company, Mancang signaled the squad leader to come over and said in a faint voice," Don't let my mother know. Otherwise, she won't be able to stand it." With that, he tilted his head and left. Not long after Mancang left, the company set off a craze to learn Mancang's font. Mancang's file stated that he had graduated from junior high school. Actually, she had only been in junior high for a year. The soldiers were even more engrossed in practicing the full warehouse of words than Pang Zhonghua's copybook. The soldiers knew very well who Mancang's family was, how many acres of land there were, and how many pigs there were. One letter after another flew to that small mountain corner, and the letter capital called her mother. Mancang Niang received every letter with joy. After asking someone to read it, she would touch it as if it was Mancang's face. After reading the letter, the person bit his lips tightly. His eyes turned red and he quickly ran out. He could not cry in the room. Everyone in the village knew that Mancang had actually returned forever. On the east slope of the village entrance, Mancang was brought back by their instructor and an officer from the Organization Department of the Political Department in a small box. These were only hidden from one person, Mancang Niang. Before the new year, Mancang said he wanted to come back to see his mother. The atmosphere of the new year was very strong. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. ManCang sent another letter saying that he had a mission and could not come back. At the same time, he sent back a photo, some medicine, and nutrition. In fact, the picture was of a soldier wearing the same clothes as Mancang. ManCang Niang stuck the photo to her chest and called ManEr. Another year passed. The leaves of the parasol tree had all fallen, but Man Cang had not returned. Mancangniang received many letters, medicines, nutritional supplements, and 76 photos. Mancang's company had 76 soldiers at that time. The full warehouse was already an extended service. One day in the early winter, Mancang Niang's condition suddenly worsened and she fell unconscious. At dusk, she woke up and called ManCang's sister to her bed." I can't see ManEr anymore. I'm dead. Don't let him know. He'll be sad and affect his career..." After saying that, ManCang's mother's withered hand gently stroked the thick stack of letters with a red triangle postmark. She suddenly stopped listening. When the news of Mancang Niang's death reached the company, her sons cried.
