我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight"祭祀用的。"王狗剩眼神空洞，像在说别人的事，"兵荒马乱，死人多。买不起棺材纸马，总得有个念想。这糖苦的、咸的，像血泪。烧给死人，让他们路上别太苦。"红椒看着锅里那团黑乎乎、冒着怪味泡沫的东西，突然打了个寒颤。她明白了，这不是糖，是王狗剩在时代的绞肉机里，榨出来的最后一点人性。新糖出炉，样子丑陋，味道诡异。王狗剩给它取名"忆苦糖"。"For sacrificial use." Doggy Wang's eyes were hollow, as if recounting someone else's tale. "War and chaos, bodies piling up. Families can't afford coffins or paper effigies for the dead, yet they need something to cling to—a token of remembrance. This candy is bitter, salty—like tears of blood. Burn it for the departed, that their journey through the underworld be not so harsh."Red Chili stared at the dark, foul-smelling mass bubbling in the pot and shuddered. She understood: this wasn't candy. It was the last shred of humanity Doggy Wang had wrung out of the meat grinder of the times.The new candy was done—ugly to look at, strange to taste. Doggy Wang named it "Bitter_ Memory Candy."
