Notes on Strange Folk Tales 民间诡事札记
The countryside hides the strangest legends and lays bare the truest depths of the human heart. A single red embroidered shoe beneath an old pagoda tree holds a grievance and a hatred left unspoken. A strange peddler knocking at the door in the dead of night carries no ordinary goods in his pack, only old stories frosted over with time. A bronze mirror rising from an ancient well can reflect ghosts, but not the depths of the human heart... These curious tales scattered across bustling streets an

A quantum-state blood moon splits into 37 satellites, genetic tides surge, and the clocks in the morgue remain forever frozen at 23:07, the eerie moment her parents disappeared. The genetic sequence from a clone’s corpse is an exact match for her younger brother’s, the violet-eyed

Do you believe there are ghosts in this world? I think that question is as impossible to answer as whether there are dragons in this world. The answer you hear most often is: Believe in them, and they exist. Don’t believe in them, and they don’t. But if you ask me, my answer is simple: Yes! Not because I believe, but because I can see them. Of course, I wasn’t able to see them from birth. It all goes back to the strange experience I had when I was six...
