“Golden Snow Ballad”

Lu Zhao, the young master of the Suzhou antique shop “Zangyunzhai”, found a strange bracelet while sorting out his grandfather’s relics – nine white jade beads were connected by gold wire, and the gold wire was engraved with a very small “Rebirth Mantra”. The strangest thing is that there are blood-like gold lines inside the jade beads, which form a vague human face under the candlelight.

“This is the ‘redemption chain’, exchanged for life.” The oldest shopkeeper in the store warned in a trembling voice, “Wear it for forty-nine days, either to save the soul of the dead, or…” He pointed to the inexplicable golden finger marks on Lu Zhao’s neck.

That night, Lu Zhao dreamed of a pawnshop in the Republic of China: his grandfather was pouring a bag of blood-stained silver dollars into the gold melting furnace, and the cheongsam woman kneeling on the ground was wearing this bracelet on her wrist. When he woke up, he found that the gold line in the first jade bead disappeared, and instead, a strand of his hair was entangled in the gold wire at some point.

On a rainy night, when Lu Zhao finally found out that the woman was the daughter of a pawnbroker who was killed by his grandfather when he was young, the bracelet suddenly broke by itself. The white jade beads fell all over the floor, each reflecting the appearance of the woman at a different age. And in the hollow bead that was found at last, there was a strand of fetal hair wrapped in gold foil – belonging to his aunt who should have been born.
