Fan Jinghua: Eleven Ways to Name a Killer-Lady

　　Eleven Ways to Name a Killer-Lady

I
Among a myriad featureless faces,
She has the only pair of relentless eyes.

II
With a dark mole in each eye, a killer-lady is melancholic.
A killer-lady is erratic, wearing uniforms and pink bunny slippers.
Such a woman is not eligible for self-defense.

III
With Migraleve tablets, she suffers a schizophrenic migraine.
With fishnet pantyhose, she is a professional seductress.
With a condom in her handbag, she is a prostitute.

VI
Straitjacketed to a bed, she has sharp curves,
And suddenly takes on such a strong sex appeal.
This makes every man want to suffer a sadistic disorder of aesthetic necrophilia.

V
This is the season when spring flowers are withering,
When every day is a day of libation.
The killer-lady blooms in her dream.
I light a candle to regard this Queen of the Night, our one-night stand.

VI
She is a scraped moon, whose whites are scooped out.
She is moon-struck, eyes squinted.
There is pure lyricism in her wriggling under the dripping of sun-oil.

VII
I am a lover troubadour, if she loves me, gratis.
If I have silver around my waist, I will overact a man.
If she passes out in orgasm, under or on me, I will rise to the rank of immortals.
Woman, eternal, turns us on.

VIII
The rustling is harmonious, when wind tiptoes across reeds.
Countless blades bow to the wind over grasses, with a flash of light.
The aura of the killer-lady is mechanically repressible,
But it reproduces in the air.

IX
When she is crunched, it is a light put out
Before the marrow is burned,
And the unused can be good lubricant for a road-roller.

X
She uses her scissors to cut calluses off wandering feet,
But for the noose of morality,
A killer-lady uses one of the blades to saw, like a blunt knife.

XI
A killer-lady will slowly kill all of us,
Unless we kill ourselves,
But those who can sing euphonious and resonant will be exonerated.
Oh, what a pity that I am no better than a drake.
I cannot sing, I cannot dive.
A killer-lady is a smiling woman.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　May 20, 2009

　　On May 10, 2009, in Badong County, Hubei Province, a girl who works in a public bath as a pedicurist (polishing the toe-nails, removing the callus and dead skins, etc.) was demanded to provide “special” service (sex) by three officials. When she refused, saying she is not that kind of person (prostitute), the leader among the three first threw a stack of money at her, yelling "do you think we do not have money?", and then pounced on her twice, while his two colleagues stood by. Finally, the agitated girl found her knife (for her work) and injured two (the leading one dead later). She turned herself in to the police, and then she was in detention under the accusation of intentional murder. As a kind of anti-depressant (sleeping pill) was found in her bag, she was sent into a mental institution, bound to a bed as a “protective” measure. Netizens are overwhelmingly hailing her as a chaste heroine (an ancient term for a woman who dies in defense of her honor chastity or virginity), while the police’s circulars are increasingly favorable to the officials, changing the words "pouncing on her" to "pushing her toward the bed," "special service (sexual)" to "bathing service from an opposite sex," "pedicurist knife" to "fruit knife," etc. However, it seems that the powerless power of the netizens has inserted some kind of influence, and some voluntary workers are able to visit her in the hospital, where she is now given a ward for her own.

　　命名杀手女士的十一种方式

　　一
一万张五官不清的憧憧面孔中，
她是惟一一双毫不留情的眼睛。

　　二
她是忧郁症患，因为她眼中长着一颗黑痣；
她行为怪异，穿着一双粉红兔子头的拖鞋配她的制服。
这样的人，没有自卫的资格。

　　三
给她布可利嗪片，她就有了精神分裂性偏头痛。
给她穿上鱼网连裤袜，她就是专职狐狸精。
给她的包里放进安全套，她就是妓女。

　　四
用束身衣捆绑在床上，她曲线顿时玲珑，
立即产生强烈的性引力，
令人想患上审美型恋尸癖的虐待狂精神失调症。

　　五
这个季节春花正在凋谢，每一天
都是祭酒的日子。
杀手女士在梦中绽放一朵昙花。
我点一支蜡烛，相看；夜之女王啊，我和你有一夜情缘。

　　六
她是被刮刀残损了的月亮，白块被挖了出来。
她被月亮作祟了，眼睛迷乱。
阳光给她滴油，她的扭动有一种纯粹的抒情。

　　七
如果她免费爱我，我就是行吟诗人，情人歌手。
我腰间鼓胀，就要做强悍的男人，还要稍微有点夸张。
如果她晕死在高潮中，无论在我身下还是身上，我都会升入神仙之列。
永恒的女性，引领我们亢奋。

　　八
风蹑足走过芦苇，它们有瑟瑟簌簌的和声。
风吹草伏，无数的草叶发出一道亮光。
杀手女士的韵味可以机械化地抑制，
但是它会在空气中复制。

　　九
当她被碾碎，那便是一盏灯
被扑灭，而骨髓仍未燃尽。
未用完的，可以作为压路机的润滑剂。

　　十
杀手女士是位低调的人，
她用剪刀默默修掉流浪者的鸡眼，
她只用一个刃锯掉道德的绞索，像钝刀一样。

　　十一
杀手女士将会慢慢地杀死我们，
除非我们自杀。
不过那些唱得很悦耳宏亮的人将会被免罪。
可惜啊，我还不如一只鸭子，
我不会唱，也不会潜水。
杀手女士是一个笑盈盈的女人。
