"The Yellow Courtyard" tells the story of an old family in the Jiangnan area from prosperity to decline. This is a ridiculous narrative. In the article, the author normalizes the sense of strangeness and weirdness, cultivates the characters' personalities through metaphor-filled narratives, descriptions, and dialogues, and relates the characters to family and society, ultimately rising to the level of literature and art. This is somewhat difficult and extremely rare.

Li Lin carried the employment notice from the County Cultural Bureau in his bag and reported to the township government. He was greeted by a clerk from the township office. The clerk is a white, fat old man who looks like an old lady. The clerk said, My name is Lao You. Today, everyone in the village has gone to the village. The secretary and the head of the township asked me to arrange a room for you. Li Lin said, leave the notice to you. Lao You waved his hand, "Just leave it alone. Anyway, I've heard that you are coming, and no one is pretending to be you." Lao You took Li Lin upstairs, passed through the creaking dark corridor, and then opened a room. There was already a bedding inside, and an eye-catching red satin quilt was piled on the bed. Lao You said, go and move a bed in the warehouse, and the village will temporarily arrange for you to live with the family planning staff.
