Crack

About This Novel

Two days before Qingming Festival, I returned to my hometown. The town is building an ancestral temple. There was a crack in the east wall of the Lin family's ancestral hall. Ten years ago a young man died in the river. His name was Chen Wang. The day before his death, he sat in the ancestral hall all afternoon. Some people say that my father signed it. I went to find Chen Wang's father. He gave me a rusty iron box. There was a note inside: "If they can even fake their ancestors, then it would be fair if I ruined it all." There is also a watch. The dial was shattered and the hands stopped at three seventeen. In the cracks of the ancestral hall, I found his diary. He found something. He went to see my father. Then he died. Father said, you know what the truth is. I stood at the door of the ancestral hall and looked at the plaque that read "Scholars of the Qing Dynasty". More than a hundred years ago. Ten years ago, a young man sat here and watched it all afternoon. What was he thinking? What did he do at the river that night? The door was ajar. When I pushed it open, it was filled with ashes.
