Story Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Hungry Ghost

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: in daytime in front of a food shop on a county-town market street, a stout shop assistant grips the sleeve of a ragged, hunched man clutching a steamed bun and holds out his palm for payment, while a white-bearded old gentleman in a long gown holds out a string of copper cash to pay for him, with bamboo steamers, a stove, a water jar and bucket, and a stone well along the empty paved street.
