The seven sisters and their death

(recounting historical myth)


All was well in China, or so would have thought. But many did not know about the event that took place one find afternoon in the garden of Tsat Tsz Mui village. Here is a recount of a mythical story about a girl and her sworn sisters.

It may have been a pleasant day for the city folks, scholars making their way up the stony stairs towards their entrance exams. Yes, even in those days they had to sit for exams to qualify for the court magistrate's chair. It was not easy. There were many suicide reports in China and most came from depressed scholars. But none would ever come about the seven sisters who took their life.

The story of two friends


Once upon an animal time, there was a bright golden horse, roaming about the green land. 
Wherever it galloped, trail of holes were left on the ground. This made the land very ugly, but the golden horse was not bothered by it for she was joyous of how freedom felt. She galloped from east to west, from north to south.
