Three-year-old Gu Tiaotiao squatted on the threshold of a hardware store, pointing at an empty alley. “Mommy, there’s a leak in the alley.” She looked up. A crack split the wall, and a man covered in golden fissures stepped out of it. He said she was the unfinished crack from a thousand years ago. The eighty-yuan secondhand welding torch in her hand lit up. The man was called Lu Beiyin. When he took his first bite of noodles, he froze: for the first time in a thousand years, he could taste som
