Rondo: Prelude

Anton spent all his life writing his score in rondo.  He never expected he himself would be caught in a rondo position after completion of his score.  He'd love to publish his master piece, an epic song paying tribute to his mother's life experience in the most surrealistic period of the modern China.  Yet it comes with a price: it would cost his wife's lucrative career and their ensured retirement comfort.


There is a classic interrogation type of presumed affirmation of love between lovers, a Chinese style in a half-joking and half-real way.  It goes like this: A girl would ask her boy: "If your mother and I both drawn at the same time, which one would you save the first?"  Then her boy would have to decide his own "to be or not to be issue" in the most agonizing way.


This is precisely what Anton is facing right now.
