The Other Side
by Hui Chao
About This Novel
The first time I crossed the other side, I carried my family on my back. After dark that day, our old sheepherder from Nanzhuang, Wang Haode, went to the other side to look for a stray sheep. When he was in the cooperative, he was the custodian of the team and also worked as a breeder. After the production responsibility system was implemented, the team gave him a few goats. Based on his experience, he made two sheep give birth to two, and two sheep gave birth to three, and the flock gradually became larger. After he started his own business, he became the current sheepherder. Recently, my father asked me to herd the two sheep at home with his flock. He has many sheep and my sheep are few. I helped him drive the sheep several times. My diligence earned him his love for me. When I wanted to cross the other side with him, , he asked me: "Are you afraid?" I answered bravely: "No!" He added: "I'm not asking you if you're afraid of people on the other side, I'm asking if you're afraid of ghosts?" My heartbeat was pounding, and I said I'm not afraid, obviously not as tough as before.
