Commentary
The boundary-crossing meaning of ling may imply, at times, an abruptness, suddenness, or unexpectedness about someone's entry into a new space. This abrupt characterization is evident in the video from a traditional story about a mother entering suddenly and seeing her child about to eat mushrooms. This sense may also be heard in everyday conversations when people discuss the sudden appearance of an unwelcome guest.
