Granny Li of Republican-Era China

Help! This first-person ghost-hunting novel made me afraid to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Following the protagonist in a small town in the Republic of China, he breaks into a haunted house and encounters a water ghost. Every time he puts up his chopsticks to detect evil spirits, he is so nervous that he clenches his hands! Grandma Li's silver bracelet and peach wood sword are very safe, especially the part about thunder and fire killing evil, which is both flaming and relieving, full of folk details, and a completely immersive experience!

Who in the family understands? I came across a very touching ghost-hunting article about the Republic of China! The sense of first-person immersion is immediately overwhelming, and the old folk customs of standing up chopsticks and burning eggs are so poignant! I got goosebumps when I watched Grandma Li holding a mahogany stick to ward off evil spirits. There was also the scene where the paper man opened his eyes and the evil soldiers took advantage of him. I was scared but couldn't help but want to read on. The atmosphere of Chinese metaphysics was amazing!
