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


               was getting better. But then he learnt that I had made


               friends with  Big Wang  and his mood  was getting



               worse again.  He knew Big Wang. She  once was  a


               famous basketball player in our city. She was quite



               good looking. I had dated her twice. He couldn’t bear


               it. But then he found out that I was in low spirits. He



               immediately became  delighted.  He guessed that I


               must have been refused by Big Wang. She was his



               idol  in his mind. Monkey  King was also eager to



               have a wife. Big Wang was too big for him, but that


               didn’t mean that he didn’t want to gain her.


                       One Sunday evening, just as I was lying on the



               bed wondering whether Big Wang would ring me,



               the man of the mail room shouted loudly down the


               corridor, “Soapy is wanted on the phone!” I jumped



               out of my bed and quickly ran to the mail room to


               receive the phone. It was Big Wang. She asked me to



               meet her at the small woods in the park.
