A new batch of live fish arrived at Fuxinglou, which is a rare thing in winter.
But on this day, people in the city are not here to eat fish. They came to see the killing.
The one who was killed was called Miss Xiang - a woman who was kicked out by her husband's family, was disgraced by her husband's family, and ended up living in her old house in the south of the city. The neighbors said she was haunted, and the county magistrate said she was a demon. When the executioner's knife fell, the people upstairs were eating pickled fish and the people downstairs were clapping and applauding.
Only one student shouted: "She is human!"
Then he was dragged away.
This city eats people every day, slowly, bite by bite. Kill one today, force one to death tomorrow, and starve to death the day after tomorrow. The person who eats does not know that what he is eating is a human being, and the person who is being eaten does not know how he became a ghost.
But someone is remembering. A middle-aged man named Lin spent twenty years writing the names of people who were eaten all over a wall. There was also a 19-year-old student who decided to stay after shouting from the crowd.
What he has to do is not just remember. He wanted the city to know that someone was remembering.
