Death of Aunt Wang

About This Novel
"The Death of Aunt Wang" is set in the northeastern countryside and tells the story of the tragedy of Aunt Wang, a peasant woman. The novel profoundly exposes the cruel exploitation of farmers by the landlord class and reveals the suffering of the people at the bottom. "The Story of Wang Si" reveals the tragedy of the grassroots people at the bottom who cannot truly integrate into the upper class society even if they give everything they have through the experience of a loyal old cook Wang Si. He ends up losing his wallet while working, losing his life savings, his sense of identity, and ultimately being lost in ridicule. Feng Shan, the old hunter in "Stable Night", has been looking for companions and a sense of belonging all his life. When he finally waited for his old friend "Wu Dongjia", he found that they had been separated by class and time, leaving only the emptiness of memories.

I remember, in high school, during exams, reading comprehension, and the part where Aunt Wang died, I shed some tears.
