Ghost Stories at Three in the Morning 三更讲鬼
This book recounts some strange events from the 1980s. One place holds far more than a hundred stories. Perhaps it would be more fitting for me to be a bystander, or a listener. I have written down the stories I heard to remember the past. You can simply take the people and events in these pages as a joke, if you like. Or you can read them as stories that invite self-reflection. Who knows... the characters in them might bear a resemblance to you. Or perhaps they reflect someone close to you. Wit
