始於兒時接觸「滿天神佛」,成長後,她鑽研神話,並逐一解構重寫:嫦娥飛月、福祿壽玩雜耍、地獄遊樂場、女媧頭髮補天、床神偷情記等。

My Papa held my hand, and told the myths that he had heard of.

Pointing to the space below the flyovers, he said the one without any clothes is the Red Boy.

The one in front of the stairway, carrying large and small bags, is Guan Yunxiang.

The one sitting at the roadside is his “Shi Gong”. We saluted him every time. In the cabinet, there laid a mysterious book called “Traveling the Hell”, the Hell is known as a place where bad guys eventually settled in.

We are the Ho family. He turned the vase painted with the Eight Immortals, seeing He Xiangu, and told me gravely, “She is you.”

When I was four, I got a fever. He wrote some characters in red on a piece of yellow paper, burned it and mixed it with water, and let me drink it.

He always saw “Zhong Kui” catching the long-tongued ghosts. His family had a whooping-day dog, and three-eye Erlangshen is him -- he is my father. My mother had just bought some peaches, and he was suddenly incarnated as the Monkey King, cutting them into pieces of red flesh; my home is the “Shui Lian Dong”.

Unnecessary Suspicions, growing from my childhood, read like a book of myths.
