Last Smile
About This Novel
[The rebellious smile of the insulted person] Wang Agui, a 19-year-old cotton mill worker, was fired without reason by the foreman Zhang Jinkui. He was desperate and wanted to be hit by a car in exchange for fifty yuan in pension. But a little ant who was bullied by his own kind but resisted with all his strength awakened his dignity: How can a human be inferior to an ant? From that moment on, he stole a pistol and embarked on the road to revenge. He killed the informers, he killed the scabs, he killed anyone who oppressed the poor. Every gunshot is the last smile of the insulted person. Jiang Guangci is a pioneer of "revolutionary literature". This novel is the first novella in the history of modern Chinese literature that positively describes the workers' resistance struggle. It is rough, fiery, and full of the blood and anger of the people at the bottom. How does a young man who has never killed a chicken turn into a murderer step by step? This is not a crime story but an indictment of one era against another.
