Blood Of A Paper Doll

Through this account of one girl's battle with depression and euphoria, she learns the key to not allowing the self to be wrapped up by the machine is to crush certain ideologies and conventions that say behavior needs to be labeled. Self indulgence creates an emotional life perpetually spent inside an isolated dark wave, but in this book she ultimately learns slowly, but gradually that every thing that nourishes you, also destroys you. These disturbingly pretty poems are about undergoing an emotional state of metamorphosis and the acceptance of them. Through a psyche fragmented by circumstances beyond control, traveling on an edgeless encompassing path eventually leads to a beautiful spiritual catharsis. The extremities of life succumb to a deep exploration of sex, love, separation, and death. Surrendering to intimacy and relationships serves as the band-aid to the wound that could not yield from bleeding. It is human nature for self-destruction to take hold of the world, nevertheless with it also follows the beginning of an age of paradisiacal happiness beyond belief. By crushing the machine causing unnecessary poignancy in the heart. It is how renouncing certain dangers in reality she transcends from one state to a more mysterious one. In the end, strength and courage are given birth to and it endures inside a woman who still feels her warm blood flowing through what appeared seemingly as a tailored cut out of a non-resonant paper doll inside an anechoic mental chamber. Orotund tones in grandiloquent rise espouse the stygian collapse of the bloody paper doll. The obstacle staircase of "liberal" poems mirrors society outside the walls.

The story happened about one hundred years ago in a remote small town. In the town there was a hostel run by the owner and his wife and only another staff who acted as a manager, a cashier, a cleaner, a chef etc. The staff was an intelligent and vigilant person, his name was IntelligentOne Wang. In one rain night a guest came in with a worn-out thick pelt hat, a dirty black cotton padded jacket, a working apron around his waist and a pair of straw sandals covered with mud, a broken umbrella and a small cloth package. IntelligentOne Wang noticed the guest took a pile of cash, silver coins and gold jewelry out of the package in the room, hid the wealth under a remote corner of the bed. He framed the guest up as a sorcerer of White Lotus Society with three paper dolls and let the guest’s heart and liver be cut out while he was alive. IntelligentOne Wang took all the wealth left by the guest, about thirteen thousand dollars, sneaked out of the town and into Shanghai with a new name of BrilliantTalent Wang as a rich gentleman. The guest made a swear before he was executed:” Though I will die, my vengeful ghost will climb out of my grave in daytime, I will find my enemy and claim his life!” The words were nailed down into his mind and became an indelible memory. Could he keep his wealth? Could he keep his life? Could the murdered kill his murderer in the end?

The Assassin tells the story of a swordswoman who refrains from killing. Hou Hsiao-hsien astonishes his audience once again by upsetting almost every convention of the wuxia (martial arts) genre in the film. This collection offers eleven readings, each as original and thought-provoking as the film itself, beginning with one given by the director himself. Contributors analyze the elliptical way of storytelling, Hou’s adaptation of the source text (a tale from the Tang dynasty, also included in this volume), the film’s appropriation of traditional Chinese visual aesthetics, as well as the concept of xia (knight-errant) that is embedded in Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist worldviews. There are also discussions of the much-celebrated sonic design of The Assassin: the nearly exclusive use of a diegetic film score is a statement on the director’s belief in cinematic reality. Underlying all the chapters is a focus on how Hou reinvents Tang-dynasty China in contemporary culture. The meticulously recreated everyday reality of the Tang world in the film highlights the ethnic and cultural diversity of the dynasty. It was a time when Sogdian traders acted as important intermediaries between Central Asia and the Tang court, and as a result Sogdian culture permeated the society. Taking note of the vibrant hybridity of Tang culture in the film, this volume shows that the historical openness to non-Chinese elements is in fact an essential part of the Chineseness expressed in Hou’s work. The Assassin is a gateway to the remote Tang-dynasty world, but in Hou’s hands the concerns of that premodern world turn out to be highly relevant to the world of the audience. “This book promises to be a useful companion to the film The Assassin. Contributors to this collection have convincingly and compellingly elucidated some of the film’s most difficult features. The result is a rich and wide-ranging analysis of one of the most beautiful films of our time.” —Sung-Sheng Yvonne Chang, The University of Texas at Austin “This collection of essays unfolds the many layers of The Assassin by speaking to its aesthetic achievements, reinvention of genre conventions, deep historical engagement, and philosophical substance. It exceeds the sum of its individual parts by building a vibrant cross-disciplinary conversation among a diverse group of accomplished scholars, who contribute original and compelling insights on the film.” —Jean Ma, Stanford University
