During a certain night in the Dinghai Year of the Shunzhi reign, in the town of Mudu, Suzhou, a common woman sat in her courtyard. Suddenly, a meteorite descended from the heavens, striking her squarely on the head, instantly killing her. Her elderly parents, who had no other children, saw this and burst into heartbroken wails. Not long after, the woman slowly stirred awake and laughed, saying, "I have become a man now." Her parents didn't believe it and examined her closely, only to find it was indeed true.
