Little Xiao Lian was walking on the streets of Lianing City, starving, never wearing enough to warm, having dirty clothes. It was morning and people were buying food and other staff. Xiao Lian asked a man to give him some fruits.
"Get lost child!" said the man furious.
The boy lowered his head and walked away from the man. He found at a corner some meat and ate it. A woman saw him from afar and came close to him.
"Little boy it's not healthy to eat from the streets. Come with me,don't be afraid" said the woman with a nice voice.
Xiao Lian took her hand and the two of them went to the woman's house. Her house was beautiful, had everything at perfect shape and from the looks of it the boy understood that she was rich. They ate together and after a while the woman's husband joined them. The three of them became like a family and Xiao Lian finally had parents since his own died. From now on he would not starve and would have a house to live.
.........................
Twenty six years later Xiao Lian was walking at Lianing City with a pendant to his hand. The pendant was a gift from the parents that raised him. Some lucky charms got his attention.
"What would you like young man?" asked an old woman.
"Can you give me one of these?" said Xiao Lian with a smile and a gentle voice.
He bought a lucky charm with a symbol of a star and put it to his pocket. He was wearing black clothes and had his dark hair into a long ponytail. A young man approached him.
"Excuse me! You dropped this!"
"Oh thank you so much! I didn't notice" he said relieved that he didn't lose the lucky charm he bought.
The man was at his age and was wearing grey clothes. The two of them started talking and became friends at once.
