GOSSIP
Their deaths were but a grain of salt dropped into the endless sea of gossip, adding some flavor. But soon, the gossip trade will be the same as before—tasteless and meaningless.
—LU XUN, “GOSSIP IS A FEARFUL THING”1
Gossip is always shallow and vulgar. … It is somewhat like the trash of speech … and yet, it is only in such shoddy scandalous material that something true may be found. These true things lie behind dignified appearances. They are things one would be afraid to tell oneself, and so one tells others.
—WANG ANYI, THE SONG OF EVERLASTING SORROW2
