In a short flashback, Kate and her mother are seen riding a bus home after the abortion. After getting off, the girl collapses on the sidewalk. With no one around, the mother can only watch as her daughter slips into unconsciousness. Muttering her last words, I dont want to die... she dies soon afterwards, presumably from a ruptured uterus.Mrs. Li hosts a dinner party for her friends, who compliment her and wonder about her newly found beauty and youth. When she joins them, they claim there is a horrid fishlike smell in the air, which turns out to be from Mrs. Li herself. She excuses herself from the table and runs to the bathtub. Furious with Mei, Mrs. Li calls her, demanding to know what she has ingested. Mei merely claims that an inbred child is the most potent. Curious at what his wife is yelling about, Mr. Li gets on the other line and overhears the conversation between her and Mei about what happened, and pays the latter a visit, inquiring into whether it really works. Mr. Li eats one of her dumplings and has violent sex with Mei, whom he finds out to be sixtyfour years old, but with a form like a slender thirtyyearold woman. She attributes her looks to her cannibalism. ........
