Niu Er

Growing up rolling around the tea table since childhood, after returning to his hometown of Lugang, he became a tea merchant. Starting from the PTT Marvel board to the Facebook fan page “Niu Er’s Strange Tales Tea Banquet,” on the red bricks, under the tiles, through the flower windows, by the tea table, he has been brewing tea and talking about ghosts, searching and inquiring about more strange stories along the way.

The words here are a profound guide to historical sites. Here, in addition to bricks and people, there are countless spirits. They have not crossed over to the other side and are still here waiting for the living to tell the stories of the past.
