Mr. Ballin

And Yang loved it.

But more than just feeling happy that he could be himself around his aunts, Yang also took a lot of pride in looking after his aunts.

You know, he wanted to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after in their old age.

So after this silent dinner, Yang stood up and he cleaned the table off and then he helped one of his aunts go up to her bedroom.

And after getting her tucked in, and as Yang was about to go down and help the next aunt go to her bedroom, he heard sirens outside.

Now, Yang lives in this very remote rural village in China that's actually so remote they didn't have their own police force.

But even more specifically, Yang literally in his whole life had never even heard a siren or seen a police car.

And so this is like really unique.

And so instead of going and helping his next aunt, Yang went outside to see what was going on.

And as soon as he got out there, he looked down the hill.

He was up on top of this hill, that's where his house was.

He saw at the base of the hill, about 600 feet away, were two police cars with their lights flashing.

I mean, clearly something major was happening in his town.

And so again, feeling very curious because he's never seen anything like this, Yang decides to continue to investigate.

And so he leaves his home and begins walking down the road towards the cars.

But he stops at a safe distance away because one, he doesn't want to interfere.

And two, he really doesn't want to talk to the police because he can't really talk.

And he's actually worried that he's going to get bullied if he talks to the police.

And so from a safe distance, he just stood there and watched whatever was going on.

And what was going on is the two police officers who had responded and shown up in Yang's village were standing there at the foot of this hill trying to make sense of this insane story a local farmer had just told them.
