Everyone must be familiar with the story of Ah Q. So in my personal opinion after reading it, it also summarizes the heart of the character Ah Q and what kind of person Ah Q is. Ah Q, he was a poor man with no money, no power, and even lost his surname, a tiny and weak existence. The author didn't even give him a name, just called him "A Q" by his code name. His life was miserable, and he made a living by working as a coolie. He had no knowledge or talent, and he was a naked image of a peasant under the social background of that time. He also wants to change his destiny and live a good life, especially since he is often bullied, but he is timid and cowardly and cannot compete face-to-face with the evil forces, so he always comforts himself with an imaginary victory. This "spiritual victory method" imagines that he has defeated others, thereby satisfying his desire to win.
