4. Chihiro’s Corner of Temptation
5. Daughter
Shanghai，城隍庙。
Chihiro inherited her Granny’s bath house and keeps it well-tended and cheerful. At evening‘s peak, she has summoned the rain gods to douse her guests with rainbow dew to celebrate the New Year and the visitation of the spring dragonnettes.
My 妈妈 is my angel of spring, the hoarder of light; a goat by the Chinese lunar calendar, and a bull of golden horns by the stars. She is the force when my galaxy is collapsing; the black hole that devours, silently, until my vision distills into a thread of self-belief.
We can choose to unfurl a wish lantern for each moment. Write a wish and see it into the river of our dreams: make a wish, but never wish for happiness.
Chihiro’s favorite fire chef scalds delicacies. She reminisces over the evening when he roasted pigeons and steamed buns, both foods her parents never could have resisted.
In the sinking light, the Baba and daughter walk home for dinner. The daughter happily leans on the warmth of her dad’s elbow, at the right height. Home, with its diminutive balcony and overstuffed closet, draws them in.
