The Person Who Knocks on the Monument

In a deserted cemetery in the eastern suburbs, gravekeeper Li Sanli guarded forty-seven graves and spent his whole life sweeping the stone steps in front of the monuments. He never touched the words engraved on the monuments. He only believed in the old rules passed down by Mr. Zhou: the words on the monuments could not be touched with hands. The tombkeepers could not leave their tents casually on rainy nights. No one could touch the wild graves without monuments. In order to build a new road to the pier, the county government insisted on moving the unmarked and unmarked grave. The government officials led people to dig up the soil all night long. As soon as the hoe dug up the soil of the grave, things that had been buried for decades woke up. In the cemetery on a rainy night, screams rang out one after another. Only Li Sanli held the old broom wrapped with hemp rope and walked step by step towards the dug grave without words. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
