The New God

they cared And they did argue. Tso was not
Christian and he feared the Foreign God.
The two of them were old, he said. There
was not much more time left them in the
present world. She should give up this
untried god and return to the beliefs of her
ancestors. Would she wish her spirit to be
lost and crying? Forever banished from
safe life in the next world because the ances-
tral gods hadn't been appeased? The For
eign God would forget one poor old woman's
spirit. He would be busy with the foreign
souls 1t was best that she take many cop
pers to the temple to buy herself new favor
- and good life to come
Bur Mrs Tso was adamant Her new
God cared not whether she was rich or poor,
she said, nor did he demand money at her
death. And as she talked, Tso's eyes would
have strange, almost hunted look.
Daddy was home on stopover when
Tso told us his wife was dead He took no
money to help with the funeral He turned
from sympathy. / waited for the profess
sional mourners to start their wailing and
chanting. listened for the clang of cymbals,
the weird cry of the fiddle And when all
was quiet, went to the kitchen to pick
up the gossip. Tso had refused mourners.
There would be no feast. no paper money to
pay his wife's way to the next world
He had already bought lumber and was
fashioning the casket himself Two days
later he came trudging up the HILL Would
the Captain and his wife help with the
burial? He didn't know the Christian Gods
custom. Tso balanced the shiny pine casket
on his shoulder. and with slow but firm
steps, took his burden to the grassy knoll
on the side of the hill. We followed Kneel-
ing in the loose black earth beside the
shallow grave, he shifted the box with gen.
tie care to its oblong hollow.
DADDY said the service, and mother offered
prayer. Tso picked up the spade.
Little Missy" he said suddenly sing
that song she loved" And 50 sang Jesus
Loves Me" and when was through he
turned to Mother. Fear and grief struggled
in his eyes.
There is little time left me-" he SAID,
But will become Christian
And as he pushed the sod against the
coffin, heard him say, Il will follow you,
old woman, even to your foreign heaven"
Evening star., 1946-12-08
Old Tso finally lost the
argument with his wife. But
she never knew about it -.

VsO was a proud, venerable 80, with
l. skin as finely wrinkled as a withered
apple. Yet his step was firm, even when he
balanced large buckets of water from his
wooden yoke. He lived with his wife in one
small room of our servants quarters, just
halfway down the hill from our home.
Mother, Daddy and were living in the
Chungking Hills then. and when Daddy
was captaining his ship on the Yangtse
River, Tso was our night watchman. He
made his bed in an alcove of our veranda,
and at intervals throughout the night he
would circle the house. testing the shut
ters as he made his rounds But as soon as
the first rays of day would show, he d hurry
down the hill to Mrs. Tso.
Even though the other three servants
and their families shared quarters with the
Tsos. it was as though the old couple lived
alone. They took their meals together, just
the two of them And when the others would
harangue and debate noisily. they remained
quietly on the bench outside their room, he

Mrs. Tso bent intently over her mending,
her grey-black hair smoothed into tight,
neat bun atop her head
SOMETIMES she would have to lay aside
her mending hurriedly and Tso would put
down his work to support her wispy body
as she sat taut with -convulsive coughing.

would often run down the hill to see Mrs.
Tso. She was Christian, and we enjoyed
talking about her new God She would tell
me about the time she was amah to the
minister's children and learned about the
kind God of the foreigners. Sometimes we
would sing Jesus Loves Me" which was
the only hymn we both knew in Chinese
There was something infinitely touching
about Tso and his wife. They never kissed
hello or "good-by," yet l knew they
