In the End it was a Soldier Who did It
Kouzhu
Eighteen years ago
a beautiful woman who worked in a sewing factory
after being raped and murdered
was dumped in the lime stone pool
behind the primary school
My classmate, Xiao Mao
in the clear morning on his way to school
saw this stark naked corpse
snow-white, snow-white
This is how he described it
After this
I have never heard anyone again
expend so much effort
to extol this
snow-white, snow-white
adjective.
