Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What method of transporting Changyu's body were the other villagers trying to encourage?

Answer: Tractor

But Di had her mind set on having Changyu's body carried to it's resting place by people, in the traditional way.

2. In what way does Changyu select his lunch from the array prepared by the village's women?

Answer: He takes the first on the left

So Di makes sure that her's is the dish on the edge on the left side of the table.

3. What does Di "accidentally" leave on the road outside the village for Changyu to stumble upon and return to her?

Answer: Basket

Afterwards, Changyu is quick to ask the children who she is, and one of the children shouts out to her that the teacher was inquiring about her.

4. What stops Changyu from drawing water at the wells at the same time as Di?

Answer: A man insists he get the water since the teacher shouldn't be doing it

The man then asks Di why she is drawing water from the front wells (when she normally wouldn't be), but Di is so disapointed that she ignores his inquiry.

5. When Changyu sees Di leaning on the door to greet him for lunch, what did the scene remind him of?

Answer: A painting

Many years later, he would tell his son that he'd never forgotten that painting.

6. Out of the three dishes Changyu had of Di's while he was on the building site, which was his favourite?

Answer: Mushroom dumplings

He was to return later that day to have some more of her dumplings, but had to go back to town. Changyu promised to return for the meal, but he left before he was able. Though Di desperately persued him, it was hopeless.

7. By what date did Changyu promise to be back by?

Answer: December 28th

But again, he was unable to keep his appointment, and Di attempted to walk to town in the freezing blizzard. She collapsed, and after being discovered, she was tucked in to bed with a bad chill.
When he heard the news, Changyu hastened to her bedside, even though he was not supposed to leave town.

8. What was the first estimate given to Changyu's son Yusheng, as to the cost of having his father's body carried down the "road home?"

Answer: 40,000 yuen

Yusheng then gives the man 50,000 yuen, but it ends up costing nothing as over a hundred of Changyu's former students are willing to transport the coffin for free.

9. Where does Di have her beloved husband buried?

Answer: Next to the north well

It hadn't been used for years since the introduction of tap water.
She said he would have a view of his old teaching place there.

10. Finally, what coloured jacket of Di's was Changyu so enchanted by?

Answer: Red

There was a red piece of fabric hanging from a beam in the school that always reminded him of it. He also gave Di a hair pin that went with it beautifully. Thanks for playing!
