The Talented Eunuch Kou Liancai
by Li Yuanyuan
About This Novel
The "knife maker" moved his crotch-touching hand away from Kou Liancai, and then asked seriously: "Are you voluntarily purifying yourself?" "Yes." A teardrop rolled out of the child's eyes. A moment later, a scream as sharp as a ghost came from the room. One early morning in May of the eighth year of Xianfeng's reign, in a dilapidated mud house at the root of Chaoyangmen City in Beijing, Kou Binghe, a barber who hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, went to wake up a child who was still sleeping soundly on the kang. "Let him sleep a little longer to regain his energy..." Before the child's mother could finish her words, she suddenly choked up. Ever since the family decided to let the child take the path of becoming a eunuch, the mother-in-law has not cried a day. From that day on, she burned a stick of incense every night in the dead of night and asked for the blessings of the Bodhisattva.
