Sample text
The land of China is dying, while I have no place to offer my libation and call for its souls. . I have burning blood that I cannot shed, I have tears that I cannot let go; all I can do is writing with my blood and tears, and let writing be my mourning, leading me to . . the Grand Souls . . Souls and spirits! Where are you? . I search for you with my heart, my body, my entire existence. If we stir up the dying hearts of our people, we are stirring up the souls of our land. The stirrings in people’s hearts that can create the souls of our ravished country are the Grand Souls (dahun).
On grand souls (Dahun pian), an article published in The Chinese Women’s Newspaper in 1906 (Zhongguo nübao) by a woman named Huang Gong, is another instance of such mourning-cum-mobilizing process for imagining and indeed summoning alternatives. As Qiu Jin, Ding Chuwo, and others did in their writings, she begins with a lamentation: Sitting in the corner of a small room near the dead fire in the stove, hearing a vast silence outside, I gaze at the lamp’s dim light as it fades away . . The land of China is dying, while I have no place to offer my libation and call for its souls.
If we stir up the dying hearts of our people, we are stirring up the souls of our land. The stirrings in people’s hearts that can create the souls of our ravished country are the Grand Souls (dahun). Where do such Grand Souls exist? They exist in we Chinese, we Chinese women79 (my italics). The mourning process here is over the “dying hearts of a people,” yet its energy stirs up people’s hearts and brings forth their life and live forces again. Bearing out the “multiple authored violence”80 inscribed on the torn body of the land and the bodies of its human inhabitants, the mourning woman calls out to and stir up those “grand souls” amid social and institutional wreckages, thereby gathering a human constellation of differently ruined as sources and resources for re-engendering life.
