"Becoming ancestor" is the cultural setting of Han society to overcome the mortality of life. Men become ancestors of the family through their "innate" gender, while women's destination of belonging must be earned through marriage and childbirth. Such patrilineal setting has become a restrictive cultural barrier for women. In order to offer a critical reflection to the limit of Han patrilineal setting, this paper attempts to explore an alternative way of transcendence based on two women's narrative and reflection on their mothers' life, especially the reciprocal care relation between mother and daughter, and mediation of spiritual experience in the nature. Their story-telling is discussed in the light of the archetype of life/death/life.
