Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)


               nearly expelled from your school. You are a disgrace.


               This is a big blemish in your history. It’s permanent.



               You have been looked upon… If I marry you I will


               be looked upon too.  I’m really on the  horns  of a



               dilemma.”


                       At this moment,  a crow flew over  us. It cried



               loudly but the cry was unpleasant. It made Big Wang


               unhappy. She went out of the small wood. I followed



               her out of the park. Outside the gate, I stopped her



               and said, “It’s very hard for me to get along with you.


               On the one hand, you wanted me to prove that I am a


               man and that I have guts…”



                       “Did I say so?”



                       “Yes, you did. You were even unhappy with me


               because of my good behaviour.”



                       “Is there such a thing?”


                       “Yes, there is!”
