My thought at the time was, why not a man, if not a man, it should be a family and friend. A legendary woman, the last thing she misses is a piece of land.
Later I understood.
Men, relatives and friends will always leave one day, but the land will not. The territory has been occupied, and if you die, you will have to take it back. The reason why words such as the Great Patriotic War and the protection of the family and the country are sacred has nothing to do with the regime and patriotism. It contains only the most simple feelings of human beings, the purest possessive desire for the land.

Land is also a place.
The street where I lived, the house where I lived. These are my lands. It has a wider chest and more stalwart arms than men. Men go for other women, but street houses don't. Except for our own departure, they are always there.
As he grew taller, his restless heart could no longer accommodate houses that were a hundred feet apart and streets that were miles square. So we left home and went to the country, wanting to see other streets, wanting to own new houses. After walking around for the last time, I suddenly woke up from a dream, holding the hand of my new relative and saying, go home.

Streets and houses are also absent. But the one in the memory will never change, and it will be fixed in the moment of sunset for a long time. The meaning of that moment is only useful to the parties involved. And even if the client wins the Nobel Prize for Literature, he will not be able to reproduce the sunset moment with an 800-page novel. I can only say one thing, Scarlett also said, at least there is the manor.
