The Living Soul: the Strange Incident in Huaiqinglou

A fire broke out at a wedding banquet in Huaiqinglou, but after the incident, no bodies of the victims were found. On the first seven nights, a procession suddenly appeared on the street to see off the bride, beating gongs and drums, and black and red blood and tears fell from their eyes. The next day, there were forty-six pairs of fresh footprints in the ruins. Months passed. The Huaiqinglou was rebuilt, carpenters jumped off the building, and northern workers sang Cantonese opera. On the seventh day... Charred faces began to seep out of the walls. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
