Someone Else's Paradise

About This Novel
Because I was going to Xingcao Lake Cadre School with my mother the next day, I almost didn't sleep well all night. Mom prepared everything she wanted to bring, including the red plastic cigarette holder and the Marxist-Leninist anthology that she wanted to bring to Dad. These things were placed in a wicker box, a bundle made of white quilts, and a large canvas bag. In addition, there was a large backpack made of two quilts. They were piled bloatedly in the corner of the main room, like a big mound. Mom said in the morning that today is the Beginning of Spring. This day is also my birthday, Liu Rukang. I am eleven years old. That night, I kept waking up when I fell asleep. Even when I fell asleep, I was still in a daze, dreaming of some weird dreams. I heard someone shouting, "Xiao Sizi, get up, get up." I opened my eyes and it was my mother. I didn't want to get up, so my mother coaxed me and said, "Little fourth son, don't you want to go to the cadre school?"
