Tales from the Underworld

My name is Ye Qing. It's a rather literary, fresh-sounding name, but they call me a callow youth. I suppose that's just their nickname for me. I'm an ordinary little ghost under the King of Hell. Together with my ghost brothers, I live an ordinary life in the underworld, though we somehow manage to make the best of things amid hardship? Make something out of nothing? Find our own way? At last, unable to bear the boredom, I had a sudden whim one day and decided to record all the little moments of our lives in the underworld. People in the world above often say, "A person leaves a name behind, just as a wild goose leaves its call," so I thought I'd leave my name behind as a ghost, too. I hope that when people talk about the underworld in the future, they'll remember me and my brothers, who may be ugly, but are cutely ugly.
