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

I knew he was going to steal me away from our

school. I was in full vigour. Every school needed

such a person like me. But I politely refused him.

Now half a year had passed by. I didn’t know

whether he still needed me. I wrote a letter to him.

Soon I received his return letter. In the letter he wrote,

“Please come quickly! We are badly in need of you!

We’ll provide you with everything you need.”

So, I immediately went to see the principal of my

school and told him politely that I would quit the

school. He understood me and agreed and wished me

well.

Early the next day, I mounted the train to the

Southwest.
