My Name is Wangcun

About This Novel

The narrator "my" brother is a schizophrenic patient who imagines himself to be a mouse. Because his behavior and living habits are the same as those of a mouse, he brings a lot of trouble to others, especially hindering the marriages of other brothers and sisters in the family, which brings shame to the family. Therefore, after taking the younger brother to see a psychiatrist to no avail, the family discussed sending the narrator "I" to "abandon the younger brother." However, this rational rejection of madness is not as ideal as Foucault described, nor did it lead to the so-called "breakdown of dialogue" between rationality and irrationality because the younger brother was determined to be schizophrenic. On the contrary, from the time "I" took my younger brother to see a doctor, madness and non-madness, rationality and irrationality were entangled and the boundaries were blurred. Even rationality was often in danger of being defeated and assimilated by madness.
