hazeviHi all,
I've done a one-shot translation for my own enjoyment! To no one's surprise, it is once again by Yi Zhan Ye Deng and in the All About Summer collection, though I'd argue this is pretty standalone and doesn't have that much relation to summer, even. Makes sense since the author mentions the one-shot was drafted in 2017, long before she started the short story collection.
Anyways. I Will Always Stay By Your Side (我会一直陪着你) is piece of modern psychological (horror?) cake that is absolutely to my tastes despite me not even liking the genre that much. Story revolves around Dr. Lin, a psychologist, and Miss Qiao, a well known movie director, who pays Dr. Lin the full consultation fee only to sleep in her office lounge and not talk (a mood).
Do note that this story is very heavy on the mental disorders so take care if you mind that!
One interesting thing about this story is the amount of theorizing it spawned in the original Chinese comment section, in which I thought that everyone made a whole lot of sense while I was just a dumb idiot who thought the story was a little chilling + sweet when I read it the first time. However, now I am also on the theorizing train, which is crazy since this work is very short, only around 4k in original Chinese and 3.4k in translation.
In any case:
read translation here
original here
tweet about it
Have a good day!
