"Father" is a short story written by the author in 1933. It uses the first-person perspective to describe the scenes before and after the death of the father in a feudal family. He was once a high-status father in the upper class, but he was experiencing decline and fall from authority to marginality on his sickbed. He used to be a popular family, but now no one comes to visit him. The children are thinking about their father's body and are filled with self-blame, but the sense of alienation is evident between the lines. In human dusk, the doorbell no longer rings, and the old man loses his composure in his last moments. It is an elegy, a sharp knife, which cuts through the ethics of family relationships and the harshness of the world for you to see. "Father" is one of the author's many short stories, which is sad and thought-provoking.
