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

“Dare you say it again?” the principal asked

again.

“I will not regret it forever. I haven’t done

anything wrong.”

“Comrades, now, on behalf of the school

authority, I’ll announce the decision to punish Soapy

and White Swan. Soapy confessed his mistake. We

decided to give him one more chance. He can

continue to study in our school. But White Swan

must leave the school immediately. She has been

expelled from our school. She acted as a heroine at

the meeting. She deserves it!” With that, he fixed his

eyes on White Swan. He thought that White Swan

would weep in grief and begged him to forgive her.

But she didn’t say even one word and went out of the

classroom without even glancing back. The principal

had no way out. He shook his head and forced a

smile then went out of our classroom.
