"The old man thought it was a grenade, but in fact it was just a potato. Yet, the old man dreamt of the nightmares of his youth, dreaming of using his body to shield others from a grenade. He would rather die himself than let his brothers die."
"The old man has lived so many years, doesn't he know that there are no grenades in modern society?"
"He's not sitting on a bus for the first time either. How could there be a grenade on a bus?"
"Moreover, this old man was a soldier. Although he is old now, he's not senile."

"This is an instinctive reaction, an instinct engraved in his bones!"
"Does the old man need to react? Does he need to think in his mind about what to do?"
"Just like my client Li Long, Li Long faced the same result as this old man, with his closest kin dying..."
