April 3, Changsha, Hunan.

On the first day of the Qingming holiday, Yuan Jinghui, a distant nephew of the Yuan family, brought to Yuan a collection of cloth shoes with holes worn by Academician Yuan Longping during his lifetime, cotton-padded clothes and trousers with multiple patches, and a fruit knife that had been used for 30 years. In front of the old tomb, the people who came to mourn told the story of Academician Yuan Longping's life.

　　About this "love fruit knife", Yuan Jinghui said, this is a story about love.

Every day, Academician Yuan would sit in a chair and cut apples with this fruit knife for his wife Deng Ze to eat.

After the academician left, his wife Deng soaked the knife in warm water for preservation.
