1. On p. 2741 Mrs.Xu tells Liusu “someone so young can always find a way to make a life for herself”. Also, she tells on p. 2748 ” if she travels with us, there will be someone to take care of things”. Repetition on word “someone” make me wonder is there a special meaning or image that author trying to point to the reader and who is this someone?

2. Zhang wrote  ” let the lover finally understand each other, if only for a moment”. What kind of moment does he trying to point to? Is some kind of sexual meaning in it? And why is it “finally”?
