The Guardian novel ghost stories
Sep. 8th, 2019 10:04 pmI really liked how the ghost stories captured snapshots of Chinese society, so I'm going to briefly summarize them here!
Anyways, presented without additional comment:
1) Li Qian
( one child policy stuff )
2) Wang Zheng and Sang Zan( democracy, sort of )
3) Wang Xiangyang, the Fruit-seller( poor guy )
4) Runaway girl -- this one isn't particularly in depth, since by the 4th item, the focus is really on the mythology shenanigans, but I do like that there's transit logistics.( more hukou stuff )
Complete aside, but I love that one of the grouses about the Underworld is that their file processing hasn't yet gone paperless.
