It turned out that her parents planned to sacrifice their own lives to protect their daughter, she hid as all she heard was men shouting, objects breaking and her parents' agonized screams as they died. Ailanzhu was too young to remember the way back home alone and the, she wandered around and arrived at the execution site and saw her parents' decapitated heads. This sight caused Ailanzhu to go in a state of shock. Afterwards, she was adopted by a kind-hearted brothel madam who Meifen worked in her brothel named Huarong who is 60 years old and was cared for and fed finest meals.
