A man from Dongxing in Linchuan went into the mountains, caught a young ape, and brought it home. The mother followed him all the way to his house. He tied the young ape to a tree in the courtyard for her to see. Beating her cheeks, she turned toward him as if begging for mercy; she seemed to lack only the power of speech. Yet the man would not release her young and instead beat it to death. The mother cried out in anguish, then hurled herself to the ground and died. The man cut open her belly and found her intestines torn apart, inch by inch. Within six months, his entire household had died of an epidemic, leaving no one alive.
