Why They Matter

Liu Li belongs to a later and more complicated part of the life story, where work, China, Sparrow, crisis, and trust overlap.

What They Taught Me

Liu Li taught me that trust is not only about closeness. It is also about responsibility, pressure, misunderstanding, and the effort to keep seeing another person clearly.

What Remains

What remains is the need to hold complexity honestly, without flattening the story into blame or gratitude.
