The day Lin Xiao-broke, adrift, and freshly fired in Shanghai-was handed his pink slip, a telegram arrived: the grandmother he'd never met was dead somewhere deep in the mountains. He grabbed the last night train to "Paper-Doll Town."only to find the place already occupied-by paper. By daylight the living fold and paste life-size effigies; after dark the effigies fold themselves and patrol the streets. In every house a palm-sized paper baby squats on its altar, and every cherub face is his own. The townsfolk have circled the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month-Paper-Fire Festival-for his final performance: he must set fire to a full-sized paper man inked with his name, repayment for a blood poisoning his family supposedly seeded in 1998. Out of the coffin climbs a paper grandmother; a one-eared taxi driver blocks every road out; 307 infant voices hiss that the life he's living was meant to be theirs. Each footstep drags him deeper into the coldest corners of Chinese funeral taboo. But the real jolt isn't the moment the dolls open their eyes-it's the moment he understands: thirty years ago he was scheduled to die at birth. Every heartbeat since has been borrowed; his grandmother mortgaged the town's collective lifespan to forge a paper heir. "While the Paper Father burns, the town survives; once he's ash, every soul follows." A single twist of black smoke, and the paper immortals wake again-China's most chilling IOU from the dead.

Remember Miss Minchin in that story "The little Princess" She died in the cold, but before she did she finally admitted her mistakes. She sent a prayer, doubtful if God will ever forgive her cruelty. She asked for forgiveness. And she was whisked away into a grand hall of glowing and pulsing jewels, she saw that at the end of the hall was a large gate. She felt light like she was weightless, she felt at peace. Then a powerful voice told her. "Because of your sincere apology, you are forgiven. But, because you haven't forgiven yourself. Amelia, I hereby task you to help a thousand multiplied by a thousand troubled and helpless girls. Complete this task, and you shall be welcomed back to heaven my daughter........" She felt her being pulled back into confinement. She opened her eyes, she was still in the corner, she was still wearing the same threadbare clothes, but she felt no chill. The gnawing hunger was gone. And she hears and sees clearly, she stood up. And caught her reflection at the shop's window. She was back to her younger self, her younger and much kinder self. She sent a prayer of thanks and an plea for help, for God to guide her to what she must do next...
