The design of this tiger hat isn’t really based on any opera, or extant historical artefacts for that matter. It’s a result of me endlessly perusing online, searching for a good reference, only to come up with pictures of vintage-ish looking tiger hats with no one knowing where or when they came from.
So for the historically savvy readers, I'm sorry if the design looks painfully modern!
Yang Ying has heard those words one too many times already. Those are the words that follow blatant mockeries spat at his face. Those are the words that are supposed to lessen the pain of the bullying, but never do. Those are the words that supposedly wiser and worldlier adults use to justify their harassment of a small child.
This is a short story about trauma, and how it lingers.
