[Around 100,000 words; hoping to start early]
Wang Qiuge can slaughter pigs, pick locks, and cook for a crowd. She's a bold, energetic woman.
Her ears were cut off at birth. Supposedly, they could frighten female fetuses away from being reborn into the family, so no one dared be born into it again. But apart from affecting her hearing, having no ears didn't stop Wang Qiuge from being strong and happy.
But happy-go-lucky Wang Qiuge fell ill. She went to hospital after hospital, and the doctors told her she had only about six months to live.
Wang Qiuge wasn't afraid of dying, but she didn't want to die either. She was sad for several nights, and still cried.
After wiping away her tears, Wang Qiuge thought that this life was a lost cause, so she could live well in her next one. She decided to find the parents who had abandoned her and ask them for an ear, so she could place it in her coffin after she died.
Don't laugh at Wang Qiuge. She's a little superstitious, and worries that if she leaves this world incomplete, she'll be reborn as a disabled person with no ears.
Sick Wang Qiuge set off, full of hope. She was sure she had a younger brother, and maybe even an older sister. Surely someone would be willing to help her.
She crossed mountains and valleys, carrying a pig-slaughtering knife and dragging her unsteady steps across countless rivers and mountains.
She was going to find her blood relatives and cut off one of their ears.
