A father's letter to his son[]

Shudou,

I am sorry. I was never able to do anything fatherly for you. I am a man with no talent for anything, but doll making. Even though I was aware that you needed me... I was an awkward man who could not even play with you. Junhua, who I made in your likeness was a gift from me to you. However, you must have misunderstood my intentions. Shudou, forgive me. Forgive me, I will get rid of all the dolls with my very hands.
