Erhai Fire House Listens to the Old Soul of Childhood

A blue and white porcelain urn floated from the depths of the Erhai Lake, with a red cloth covered in white writing pressed against the mouth of the urn. When sixteen-year-old Duan Qicun took the jar home, he realized that he had also been put on a "soul-sending list" - he had to send away three people in order to get back the household registration page that had been withheld for sixteen years. Yang Xiaoye, a Han girl, is the second on the list, but she is the only one alive. Grandpa, a Taoist priest from Huoju, said: The soul of a living person is the most difficult to give away. You must first find yourself who was lost when she was fourteen years old. Above the snow line of Cangshan Mountain, there is no signal in the fleeing villages; during the fishing ban period in Erhai Lake, underwater burials are stopped. The copper bell rang three times, and the two girls found each other in the gap between demolition and intangible cultural heritage. They wanted to send each other out of the town, and they also wanted to keep themselves trapped in the 1996 household registration transfer chapter. This is a novel about identity, accent and the tide of Erhai Lake - when the tide goes out, identity comes up; when the bell stops ringing, the soul has just started on its way. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
