Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

The singer performed "The Song of Everlasting Regret," leaping gracefully into the air with ribbons fluttering like silk, gliding through the opera house. Stepping on the floating silk, she soared and landed above the lotus pond in front of the opera house, dancing upon the lotus leaves.


Then two young girls arrived on both sides of the lotus pond. With a sweep of their long sleeves, white sleeves formed a full moon, perfectly encircling the singer in the middle.


Amidst the moon, the singer lay against its crescent edge, her expression one of sorrow. The song was mournful, seemingly reproaching the emperor's heartlessness while also carrying a trace of lingering affection for him.


"Master's days are truly too joyous," Chen Shi applauded and shook his head in admiration.


This was a life fit for immortals; he never expected that Master Chen would enjoy such luxury as well.


"I must burn some of this for my grandfather!"
