ABSTRACT

A man named Lin often passed through Wutuku, a hamlet two or three kilometres further into the mountains upstream from the temple of Shiding. The man named Lin had a liaison with a woman in Wutuku. She bore him a child, and that child turned out to be the travelling man’s last son. Mother and son lived alone, in poverty, occupying a hut by the stream. The name of Lin’s last son was Wumu.
