Eight Gates
by Zhou Lili
About This Novel
Kang Yixi was once keen on talking about the seven gates in Tangning Community - there were actually seven gates between the community gate and his home. "It's really troublesome, but it's very safe." Whenever he was asked about his residence, he would always talk about the seven gates in the community casually. He would usually pause here for a moment, waiting for the other person to ask sympathetically, "How could it be? So many doors?" Then he could talk about the seven doors with peace of mind. At this moment, surveyor Kang Yixi would raise his right hand that was used to hold a pencil, and every time he said a door, he would bend a round and pale finger from the outside inward. Use your right hand and then raise your left hand. After he finished explaining the seven gates in detail, his gestures were like those of Buddha. He sometimes talked about the seven doors in the taxi - after the meal, the diners were divided into groups according to their residence and left in taxis.
