When he was just another young man from the countryside, his girlfriend, an urban woman, betrayed him after he failed the college entrance examination.

The unhappy ending left him traumatized. So, decades later when he became an official and went back to the place where his ex-girlfriend worked, he felt extremely satisfied to see her picture on the wall - a middle-aged stocky woman - especially when he compared her with his two young and pretty mistresses.

He was married and had a daughter, who was the only person that visited him in jail where he was sent for corruption.
