Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)
The big character poster was written by Fat Pig,
a plump girl student. I nicknamed her Fat Pig. She
was a worker student. She used to work in a steel
factory. As she was ideologically progressive, she
had been selected to go to a university to study. As
she had only had a few years of education in a
primary school, she could not understand the
university courses at all. She couldn’t understand
advanced mathematics at all. She knew nothing
about differentials, derivations, limits, and functions.
In class, she listened to the teachers as if she was
listening to a magician. She read those books as if
she were reading books from heaven. After she
entered the university, a test took pace that was to
check the students’ levels. In the test, she found a
strange question: 2-5.
