Amy Hao continues the story after her story is burned and thrown in the river. She is instructed by Old Chen to never mention what she had written and what had happened that day. She recalls learning more about Old Chen and realizing he was struggling with his role as a propaganda minister. When approaching the village, Old Chen very seriously informs her that he has an important task for her to do. He asks her to write a critique the diary of a "western influenced" girl in a nearby village. She felt compelled to accept the task.

That night Amy had a nightmare that night that she and the girl were threatened to be thrown into the Dry Well. Amy escaped by kneeling. Amy was then forced to push a large rock into the well. When Amy visited Jerusalem in 2010, she suddenly remembered that nightmare. She thought it was a sign of why we need forgiveness.
