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


               and how I had been submerged into a sea of it. That’s


               why I enjoyed my privacy in my office after work.



                       Xi Si listened to me carefully but said nothing.


               She kept sighing. She seemed to sympathise with me.



               She said that she had understood  me better,


               especially why I always stayed in the office while all



               the other teachers had gone home.


                       “But there is another reason I stay in the office



               after work.” I stressed.



                       “What is it?”


                       “The dormitory was too noisy,” I said. “I don’t


               want to horse around with my roommates and waste



               time.”



                       “So what are you doing here in the office?”


                       “I wanted to review my English. I’ve made a big



               plan. I must implement it.”


                       “Can I have a look at your plan?”
