February 5, Beijing

It would have been more convenient if we had started with another "December 28, New York". However we must take a break for the New Year's Eve. But despite that, very heavy snowfall dawned on the entire month of January, and most would not come to work (not surprisingly), leaving the corridors deserted. UN had to call off the work days and wait until spring before resuming.

Fortunately spring dawned early in China, right after Lunar New Year. Fields of grass and trees and bushes all around passionately bloomed with flowers as birds sang, or rather, chirped (much to the annoyance of some). Fresh grass and flowers decorated the UN headquarters, which may not may not be similar to the headquarters in New York, and people, dressed in normal suits and ties rather than the unusual amount of coats, laughed and talked amidst all of this... flowery goodness, if you'd like to call it.
However this won't indicate that thing will get better for everyone, as the case of Japan has not been solved.

(Yes, I made em all up, like the UN HQ at Beijing, please don't get mad)

"China, you ought to come with me."

UN stared gravely at the country, wearing his standard olive green colored suit jacket and black loafers instead of the dark green coat and black boots, who looked at them without the slightest clue on what was going on.

As they walked in the hallway, China kept thinking what had he done wrong this time? Could it be South Korea? Did he know something about the meeting last December? The sudden thought of South Korea then led his mind into other things and he suddenly thought of Japan.

No... it couldn't be...

China kept walking faster, every now and then taking feet long strides, before breaking into a run to the hospital wing, with UN tailing at his heel and shouting "China, slow down!"

He slammed open the hospital wing door, much to the disapproval of WHO, and inspected each and every one of the white cotton beds.
The hospital wing was bathed with the fresh spring sunlight through the big window at the end of the room.
Much to the opposite of what China was thinking as the room had the same air of that twenty-seventh of December.

Then he saw something that impaled his heart clean through the other end.

A boy wearing a black vest and slacks and a white dinner shirt with sleeves rolled up with the flag of Macau on his face and a girl with the Hong Kong flag on her and wearing a black loose shirt, shorts, and black keds were looking over a country with a uniform almost similar to China's, although designed as similar as if to emulate and rebel China, with a bluish gray suit and slacks instead of olive green. His bluish gray peaked cap bore a white sun, the symbol for the Kuomintang and eventually the Republic of China, encircled with the petals of a plum blossom, carved with a metal and painted to resemble like gold. He had the Taiwan flag on his face, and his left eye was covered with a blue square emblazoned with the sun.
We will call him Taiwan for an easier time reading.
On his gut there was a stab, followed by another on his heel.

China held Taiwan and shook him. He kept shaking him.

"Wake up. Taiwan, wake up," he muttered, "Quit pretending just to give me a scare."
"台湾,醒醒吧...(Taiwan, wake up)"
"你别假装死了...(Quit pretending you're dead)"
...
"台湾你得醒醒吧!醒醒!!(Taiwan, wake up! Wake up!!)"
"China, that's enough!" Said UN, their voice echoeing the entire hospital wing. Despite that, China kept shaking Taiwan, saying his name and "wake up" over and over.
