A handkerchief, stained with tears.
She did not weep when she received the edict ordering her marriage alliance.
She did not weep when she bid farewell to her homeland.
She did not weep when bandits threatened her with blades in the desert.
But when she reached Liangzhou and saw the people starving, soldiers with soot-blackened faces and exposed wounds—then she sobbed.
She resolved in silence: I will restore peace and prosperity to Liangzhou.
"Wherever I go, peace shall follow."
This was a princess's vow to her people
—a wish of one exiled soul to build a refuge for many exiled souls.
