Cage — Qiu Miaojin

ká-sióng, from the Taiwanese romanization of 假想, which means make-believe, imagine, hypothesise – derived from 假/ ká meaning 'false' and 想 'sióng' meaning 'thinking', so 'false thinking' / imagination / hypothesis – is the latest series of new translations from Strangers Press. 

ká-sióng 2:
Cage by Qiu Miaojin / tr. Shengchi Hsu
 
"This is in essence a cage without a door, the size of a single room... Clearly, you've resolved to run away; to keep running and running..."
 
Boy meets girl when both happen to arrive on the same rooftop, on the same day, to kill themselves. Instead, they chat and make a pact that sees their lives gradually entwine but unravel at the same time.
