The grandfather baidan, who has been dormant in the chess game all day, is silent about the status quo under the Iron Curtain.
Smuggling with his wife and absconding, his father, in order to fulfill his family's promise, in the absence of extreme poverty and discrimination, the hard choice between a gambler or a chess player finally made the sensitive and family-loving man 15 years later, Tiredly fell on the steering wheel of the return home, and took away the painful memories of sashiko.
If sashiko doesn't want to remember, he can forget forever, forget his nationality, forget his mother's tears after Vasko left home, forget the visa officer's face and the same spaghetti. But baidan reminded him of the two little Mana, the close photo of his parents, the New Year's family photo and the birthday cake baked by the old grandmother when he was born. The sweetness of the memory accompanied by the mother's pillow fairy tale warms Sashiko's imprisoned heart.
The cloud called "Baidan" conveys the family's encouragement and love for him. It also leaves in a timely manner while sashiko is putting together the pieces of memory, freeing up a blue sky for sashiko. His confidence in his grandson returning home, like the chessboard and dice in front of him. Without baidan's expectation, the pair of numbers inside and outside the chessboard—6 and 7 used to be the lucky corners secretly given by baidan, the familiar points in my grandfather’s hands, and the murderous numbers before my father’s death—meeted each other and rolled in Sashiko’s palm. Gently shake, the childhood in the hometown, the foreign living in a foreign country, the ancestors, the fathers, the Weiguo and the Iron Curtain era, encountered face-to-face entanglement, tumbling all the way to the chess corner. With the cry of Little Sahika, the collision stopped beyond 6. . . . . . , the founding was born, and sashiko, who held the belief in his hand, and his peers were also opened.
The figurative figure is still a symbol of detachment. The front wheels of the leading sashiko will still turn for a long time. . . . . .
