Starting a day with a story
I woke up very early this morning because my roommate asked me for a little bit of help, so suddenly that shocked me too much, and now I am too clear-headed to sleeping.
I am wondering how unlucky I am today, because although I have a free Saturday, I can not have a good dream. Instead I feel quite upset: do I have to be under this shadow today?
Then, I log into italki, and find an interesting person there, he wrote many small things about small stuffs, like radio, games. I love them quite a lot. And because of this finding, I think I have completely gone out from my shadow.
However, not everyone is as lucky as me:
A Chinese idiom talks about bad guys, and behind it, there is a terrible but mysterious story.
In legendary, if someone is killed by a tiger, then the ghost of this person has to follow the tiger forever, helping it kill other people.
From this, I found a similar sentence from many Chinese novels describing ancient Chinese lives.
When a wife realized, even misrealized of, that she was falling in love with others, her husband, or her mother in law would always say “Don’t forget your identity. While you are alive, you are a member of this family; when you are dead, you are an ancestor of this family”.
In the synonym original novel of one of Ang Lee’s movies The Spy Ring, while the hero is ordering for the heroine to be killed, the hero also says a similar sentence: If I am not such a man, how could she love me? When she lived, she was a relative of mine, when she is dead, is she my ancestor?

I'm not quite sure what the sense of the word you're writing as ghost is. Might you be able to provide the Chinese word for it, if you don't mind?
